So, let's dive into the world of Vanilla Dream Smoothie Bowl!
Wellness is an ongoing process, and the mind-body connection is key. We constantly change and face new scenarios, struggles, environments, etc.
It’s about nourishing the body with quality foods and topical products and working consistently to purify the mind and feel good on a psychological/subconscious level.
I’ve been living more consciously by being intentional with what I put into my body. Since going fully plant-based, I’ve been conscious about eating a balanced diet.
I’ve been enjoying Live Conscious Vanilla Dream plant-based protein, which consists of pea, rice, sacha inchi & pumpkin protein blend (15g per serving.) Plus, it’s vegan, gluten-free, soy-free & organic.
Why It's Great
The Vanilla Dream Smoothie Bowl is a delightful combination of wholesome ingredients that provide a range of health benefits. Let's take a closer look at some of the key components:
Live Conscious Vanilla Dream: This scoop of goodness adds a creamy vanilla flavor to the smoothie bowl, providing essential nutrients and a plant-based protein boost.
Spinach: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, spinach adds a vibrant green color to the smoothie bowl. It's a fantastic way to sneak in some greens and boost your daily nutrient intake.
Strawberries: These juicy berries contribute a burst of sweetness to the bowl, along with a dose of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
Banana: Frozen bananas lend a creamy texture and natural sweetness to the smoothie bowl. They are also an excellent source of potassium and provide energy-boosting carbohydrates.
Oat Milk: A homemade oat milk base adds a creamy and dairy-free element to the smoothie bowl. Oats are a great source of fiber and can help keep you feeling fuller for longer.

Storage and Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to enjoy the smoothie bowl immediately to savor its freshness and vibrant flavors.
Recipe Tips and Variations
Use less oat milk and more ice cubes to make the smoothie bowl thicker.
Add a drizzle of honey or a Medjool date to the blender if you prefer a sweeter taste.
To add a personal touch to your smoothie bowl, experiment with different toppings, such as sliced almonds, chia seeds, or shredded coconut.
Consider adding a tablespoon of nut butter or a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the blend for a protein boost.
