Have you seen the beautiful and colorful bowls all over Instagram?? A lovely creation of red chia and yogurt base, a row of sliced bananas, a row of a pint of blueberries, chocolate chips, walnut halves mixed with toasted coconut slivers, or some other pretty color and mixture of great things.
Honestly, they look amazing, I am confident they taste as good as they look. If it is your main meal, all of these things adding up to 500 to 800, calories unless you are careful, is very fine. I couldn’t really sign up for this type of indulgence very often if ever.
I love the look and they photograph so well. They make each ingredient in the pictures into a pretty sculpture almost.
I have been eating Oikos Triple Zero yogurt cups, Lemon Tart is my favorite or vanilla, with sprinkles of bran fiber for my lunch. The texture of the fiber is so nice and if I leave it a few minutes it softens up and is less crunchy.
I picked up some pumpkin seeds the other day and when I went to put them away, I put them next to the bran sprinkles and had an idea 💡
Just like the Instagram pictures, only much smaller and better use of portion control. For me, anyway. This is the result, a tiny handful of a cup, with two extra ingredients. Stir, and enjoy!! This was so great!! Of, course, you can substitute anything you like, but know what you add, calories? Fat? Fiber? I added fiber, the pumpkin seeds were for fat.
The yogurt was 110 calories to begin, add fiber sprinkles for 20 calories (2 tbsp) add 10-12 pumpkin seeds 40 calories. Total is only 170 calories. A very protein, fat and fiber packed breakfast or lunch or snack!
Some days, I mix a packet of strawberry collagen (30 calories) into the yogurt first. This is my favorite!! Collagen has many health benefits, including improves skin texture and elasticity, helps improve bone health like breaks and arthritis, and good for digestion, hair and nails. This one blends very well, and is great in water or this yogurt bowl, too.
Thanks for reading and I hope it inspires you to try a tiny smoothie bowl creation of your own!👌🏼 Let me know!
