Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie Bowl with Almond Yogurt and Goji Berries

I start most of my mornings with some variety of smoothie bowl. They are healthy, vibrant and delicious - plus I feel like I'm eating sorbet or ice cream so there's that. 

This strawberry watermelon smoothie bowl is simple, tastes lovely and is a fun change from my default mixed berry smoothie bowl with blobs of peanut butter. I garnished the top with fresh watermelon, fresh strawberries, a squeeze of fresh lime & some chia seeds. 

Recipe Notes
I use Silk brand almond yogurt in this recipe. This yogurt has a higher fat content and is also high in fiber. I think you could use a different vegan yogurt, I just know I would want to add something with some fat in it for flavour and body. A low fat yogurt wouldn't be my choice here. 

I use vega vanilla protein powder in this, for me, it just doesn't taste the same without it. If I wasn't using this protein powder I would probably want to add a splash of maple and something else for protein. 

This is the first time I tried using Goji Berries. They have an interesting flavour that I really enjoy. They were really chewy before adding to the smoothie bowl, but then once they sit in the frozen fruit for a few minutes they turn crispy!!! I was delightfully surprised and enjoyed how the texture changed.

Recipe: Strawberry Watermelon Smoothie Bowl with Almond Yogurt & Gogji Berries

Ingredients

• 250 g frozen strawberries
• 175 grams frozen watermelon chunks
• 3/4 cup almond yogurt (I start with 1/2 cup then add a bit more if the mixture needs more in order to blend together smoothly in food processor)
• 1 scoop vega vanilla protein powder
• pinch of sea salt

Method:

1. Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until completely smooth. I use a wooden spoon to push the frozen fruit closer to the blade periodically until it all wants to blend together. 
   
2. Once smooth transfer to 1 or 2 bowls, top with fresh fruit, Goji Berries, a squeeze of lime or whatever toppings you prefer!
