TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Cherry And Vanilla Protein Breakfast Bowl:
- For Thicker Consistency: Use frozen cherries to achieve a thicker and more chilled bowl consistency.
- For Vegan Version: For a vegan version, use plant-based yoghurt and milk alternatives such as almond or coconut.
- Add Toppings: Add toppings after blending for enhanced texture, such as seeds, cacao nibs or granola.
- To Reduce Sugar: Rinse cherries well if using canned or preserved to reduce added sugar.
VARIATIONS
- For A Tangier Profile: Swap cherries with raspberries or strawberries for a slightly tangier profile.
- To Increase Protein Content: Replace yoghurt with cottage cheese to increase protein content.
- For Filling Meal: Add 1 tablespoon of oats before blending for extra fibre and a more filling meal.
- For Extra Aroma: Include a few drops of vanilla extract if using unflavoured protein powder for extra aroma.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Use It Immediately: Best consumed fresh immediately after preparation.
- Refrigerate It: If storing, pour the smoothie into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Freezing: Avoid freezing because the texture may separate after thawing.
- For meal preparation: Freeze the fruit and keep dry ingredients ready in portioned bags to blend when needed.
