Wednesday's with WinniE's: Power Green Yogurt bowl
Happy Wednesday! This week's recipe is another from the "Recovery Recipe Series". This recipe is easy, delicious, efficient and most importantly creates balance. As a devoted lover of food, baker since childhood and now pastry chef-I am an unshamed believer in indulging in the best parts of life. Which, in this case happens to sometimes be decadent foods. However, I am also a great believer in balance. So, as much as I love create divinely indulgent recipes, I make sure to create recipes that are health promoting-BUT ALWAYS flavor driven! With that said, take a moment for yourself and make this Power Green Yogurt bowl. Power Green Yogurt cup or bowl (makes 2 portions)Ingredients:1 avocado (cubed)1 c kale2 c spinach1 c almond or coconut milk (desired flavor and sweetness) 1 1/2 c plain greek yogurt or skyr2 tsp flax seed2 tsp chia seed1/2 c granola1/2 c raspberries2/3 med banana (sliced)2 tsp. Honey or Light AgaveMaterials: 1 Mason jar or small bowlInstructions:Take the banana and slice about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.In a blender, take the avocado (halved and seed removed), kale, spinach and almond or coconut milk. Blend on "blend" setting or on medium speed until smooth.If using the jar: Take the banana slices and line around the inner-base. Take the blended green and carefully pour into the jar. Next, lightly spoon atop the measured greek yogurt or skyr (we like Siggi's). Then, on one side of the jar line the raspberries and moving across the top line the flax, chia and granola. Also, top with additional bananas (if you'd like) and drizzle honey or Light Agave top. Serve and enjoy.
If using a bowl: Pour the blended green into the bowl and scoop the greek yogurt or skyr (we like Siggi's) into a corner. Next, place the flax and chia seeds and granola next to the yogurt, rounding in a circular design. Finish with the raspberries and additional banana (if you'd like) and drizzle honey or Light Agave top. Serve and enjoy.
P.S.: I enjoy eating this along with drinking a cup of tea!
