(5 from 6 votes)I really enjoy this recipe! I havenʼt tried it yet with the toppings apart from fresh blueberries and think Iʼd like it even more with their suggestions. I omit the maple syrup, it seems plenty sweet. I like having this with vegan whole wheat waffles. It makes 2 hearty servings, for me I can have it for breakfast and one for dessert.
Cant wait to get my blender out and try this!
Great, tasty smoothie bowl recipe, love the purple colour from the blueberries.
I am wondering why oat milk is never mentioned as a option in recipes. I always see soy, almond, cashew or rice. Is there a reason for this?
I love Oat milk too,
I think it’s because oat milk is relatively new on the market compared to other types of plant-based milk.
100% with you on that one! If folks knew what almond production was doing to agriculture and the environment they'd cut way, way, way, back. Oats on the other hand? And the "milk" is delicious.
This recipe is a very satisfying breakfast for my sweet tooth. I omit the maple syrup and the spinach (since I have salads every day anyway), and top it with coconut, kiwi, pepitas and toasted oats (from FOK's Southern-Style Banana Pudding Parfaits recipe).
