Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup Frozen strawberries (1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup Frozen watermelon (1 to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup Frozen mango (to 1 1/2 cups)
  • 6 Frozen cherries
  • 10 Frozen grapes (~ handful)
  • 1 Dried date ( ~ cut into about 6 pieces)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (~ I use Orgain Organic Protein Powder)
  • 1/3 Old Fashioned Oats ~ Certified Gluten-Free if needed
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy-free milk (1/3 is fine too)
  • 1 tbsp Flaxseed
  • 1/2 tsp chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup frozen blueberries to mix in the bowl (not blended)

Instruction

  • Let watermelon and strawberries sit out for 5-8 minutes before starting the smoothie bowl. These fruits freeze very hard especially the watermelon and will make blending extremely difficult.
  • Add oats to the Vitamix first followed by protein powder, flaxseeds, mangos, cherries, watermelon, grapes, chia seeds, strawberries, and non-dairy milk.
  • Blend everything stopping a couple of times to scrape the sides and mix things around a bit.
  • When the mixture is spinning nicely and looks smooth dump smoothie into a bowl and stir in the frozen blueberries, dried blueberries, and nuts. Here is my best tip with smoothie bowls. Mix everything together, most important the frozen blueberries. These blueberries will keep the smoothie bowl from melting and it will stay deliciously thick until the very last bite.
