Carrot Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl

It’s time for smoothies again!!!! Whether its breakfast, post workout replenishment, or snack time, smoothies are my all-time favorite but this time it’s about a smoothie bowl. Scrumptious!!!! Loved it in my first bite.

Usually I blend fruits and vegetables along with some dairy free milk or coconut water and drink it. This time I decided to thicken my smoothie and top it with some crunchy and juicy fruits and nuts along with some super food seeds. Worked out so well and now I have become a big fan of this delicious and filling Carrot Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl.

This smoothie bowl gives a satisfying feeling of chewing food along with the nutrient content in it and therefore gives a little exercise to our jaws as recommended.  Also this way we aren’t only drinking the calories but eating them as well. Hahahah. 🙂

In my first attempt I made this Carrot Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl of a slightly thin consistency and in my 2nd attempt made it thicker and both tasted equally great. Depending on your preference feel free to modify the almond milk measurement but trust me the thicker the better.  I feel that adding oatmeal to my smoothie is a great way to include whole grains and fiber into my diet. The combination of carrots and dates with it enhances the flavor of oatmeal and when blended with almond milk this smoothie is heavenly and refreshing.

You can serve this Carrot Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl with your choice of toppings but I preferred it with chia seeds, hemp seeds, some mangoes and plums along with walnuts. Believe me this Carrot Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl tastes best with these toppings and they are tried and tested on my beloved guinea pigs 🙂  {My Family}.

Notes

I like my smoothie bowl of slightly thin consistency due to oats content in it. If you like thicker consistency for your smoothie bowl then reduce the quantity of almond milk as per your preference.

Old fashioned oatmeal or steel cut oatmeal can also be used in the same measurement but follow the cooking instruction on the package.

Frozen mangoes and plums can also be used but make sure to thaw them properly.

This smoothie bowl tastes best when served immediately.
