Cleansing & Warming Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie bowl will warm you up nicely in the morning, giving your digestion a nice, gentle start to the day whilst at the same time cleansing your system of built-up toxins and filling you up with a great dose of antioxidants.
Ingredients
- 2 x ripe bananas chopped
- 2 x handfulls of wild blueberries I usually buy these frozen from the organic store and always have some in the freezer
- 1 x apple chopped (optional)
- half a mango chopped (optional)
- 1 x teaspoon of fresh ginger minced (optional)
- half a teaspoon atlantic dulse flakes if you don't like the taste of atlantic dulse you can simply buy some dulse flakes encapsulated and take them alongside the smoothie
- one orange peeled
- 1 x teaspoon spirulina powder if you don't like the taste of spirulina buy spirulina tablets and take them with your smoothie
- 1 x teaspoon wheatgrass or barleygrass juice powder
- 1 x teaspoon fresh or dried coriander
- optional: for additional sweetness you can add a teaspoon of raw honey.
Instructions
- Add a little bit of water to a heavy bottom sauce pan
- Add the banana, apple (if using) & mango (if using) and the minced fresh ginger to the pan, cover and simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, so that the fruits are stewing nicely and slowly and don't get overcooked or burned.
- When the fruits are stewed enough, take them off the heat.
- Pout the cooked fruit and ginger mix into a high-speed blender.
- Add the peeled orange, the dulse flakes, spirulina, wheatgrass and coriander.
- Blend all until smooth.
- If you need extra sweetness you can add the raw honey to your smoothie.
Notes
If not on a cleanse or detox programme, you can give your smoothie bowl some nice toppings such as your favourite gluten free granola, chopped roasted coconut flakes, roasted pumpkin, etc. Let your creative mind run wild. Just ensure your toppings are roasted or slightly steamed and not cold from the fridge, especially if you're a Vata or Kapha type.
