Vegan Tropical Smoothie Breakfast Bowl with Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative

It’s January. Like many of you I’m trying to eat a little healthier. It isn’t so much of a New Year’s resolution as it is an I-feel-gross-after-December sort of deal. Breakfast is often the sore spot in my day. I either skip it, eat something atrocious, or every so often actually eat a balanced meal. I don’t eat dairy for breakfast. I don’t claim to have any rhyme or reason to it. I just like how it feels. My stomach just doesn’t do dairy for breakfast anymore. So when Silk wanted my to give their new Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative a try I was on board. Scared, but on board.

So, let’s not sweep the scare factor under the rug. The idea of dairy free yogurt kind of freaked me out. But guess what? Dairy-free yogurt alternative is totally good! Not scary at all! It is smooth, silky, and creamy. Delicious people! It’s made from cultured soy, with real fruit, and has 6 grams of protein per serving. Love it! Seriously, nothing to be afraid of. This stuff is legit. 

One of my favorite breakfasts is a smoothie bowl with fresh fruit and granola. It’s a fairly simple formula:

1 cup liquids

1 1/2 cups frozen fruit

1/2 cup yogurt (optional)

1 to 2 TB sweetener

Then you just need toppings. I prefer fresh fruit and granola. You can also do plain nuts or seeds of your choice.

I was sent their Tropical Pineapple flavor and immediately knew I’d be making a tropical bowl. It’s the middle of winter and there is snow on the ground at my house. This tropical bowl had me feeling like I was on a beach somewhere instead of bundled up for a snow day.

 

Time to Make It: 5 minutes

Yield: 1 to 2 servings

 

Ingredients

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 cup frozen mango

1 (5.3 oz) container Tropical Pineapple Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative

1 TB agave

Toppings:

1/2 cup fresh pineapple

1/2 cup coconut quinoa granola

Instructions

1. Combine coconut milk, strawberries, mango, yogurt alternative, and agave in a blender.

2. Blend until pureed. Smoothie should be quite thick.

3. Scrape smoothie into a bowl. Top with fresh pineapple and granola.
