Method for making The Cinnamon Roll Smoothie Bowl
1. Frozen cauliflower that is slightly thawed produces a creamier texture when blended so pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds, or just let it sit on the counter while you gather your other ingredients.
2. Add the bananas and almond milk to a blender container, along with the vanilla, vinegar, salt oats, cinnamon, almond butter and dates, followed by the cauliflower.
3. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend util creamy, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
4. Pour the lovely cinnamon mixture which will be the consistency of loose oatmeal into two or three bowls. Top with fresh blueberries and a dollop of vegan cream cheese.
Enjoy as a veggie packed breakfast or healthy snack!
