Instructions
Preparation (if you have the time)
If you have the time or if you can remember to do this 12-24 hrs before you like to make this breakfast smoothie bowl.
Pour the milk into ice cube trays and leave to freeze. You can freeze more milk to have them ready for the next breakfast smoothie bowl. Try to remember how many ice cubes is in 1/2 cup to know what to ad to your recipe. It doesn't have to be precise, but it helps.
Freeze bananas by peeling them and roughtly chopping them and adding them into a freezer bag. Again, these are very useful for other smoothies and breakfast bowls recipes, so freeze more than you need.
To make your breakfast smoothie bowl
Add the milk ice cubes, yoghurt or cream cheese, frozen banana, dates in to a food processor or a blender. Blend everything until it's thick and smooth.
Taste the coconut smoothie and adjust the taste by adding extra dates or other sweetener if needed.
Add the fine salt in and either fold it in the smoothie mix (to get a salty crunch) or blend the whole mixture again for 1-2 min again to achieve all round salty flavour.
Pour or spoon the salted caramel smoothie into breakfast bowl.
Top the smoothie with cocoa nibs, roughtly chooped walnuts and extra drizzling of salted caramel sauce if you have it.
Notes
