I love to start my day with a nutritious and filling breakfast. This one is naturally sweetened and has no added sugar. If you love the Almond Joy chocolate bar you gotta give this smoothie bowl a whirl! This a great, healthier alternative.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sliced and frozen bananas
  • 1 cup Trader Joe’s Just Coconut Chunks
  • 3/4 cup Thai Kitchen full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil (I use Nature’s Way coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (I use Simple Truth organic from Kroger)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (I use Simple Truth organic)
  • Small handful of Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips or make it a large handful if you love lots of chocolate!

Recipe: 

  1. Place the 2 frozen bananas, coconut chunks , and coconut milk into the blender. Blend on smoothie mode until ingredients are well blended. Add more coconut milk if necessary.
  2. In a saute pan melt down the coconut oil. Place the coconut flakes in the pan once the coconut is melted. Use a medium heat setting for this. Continue to warm up the flakes until they are nicely toasted and have a golden color.
  3. Remove the banana and coconut mixture from the blender cup and place in a bowl.
  4. Top your smoothie bowl with the toasted coconut flakes, slivered almonds, and the chocolate chips.
  5. Enjoy your Almond Joy smoothie bowl without too much guilt! Makes 1-2 servings so you can enjoy it all by your sweet self or share with a loved one.

  1. I would love to have this for my breakfast! Usually I have a bagel with cream cheese or a bowl of low sugar cereal. I like a nice breakfast of eggs, meat, potatoes and toast every now and then too! The smoothie bowls you make are awesome. You made me one once and it was delicious!!
