Avocado, Almond, and Soymilk Glow Bowls with Honey-Glazed Almonds: A Skin-Loving
Author: Liz Weiss
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 2
My Avocado, Almond & Soymilk Glow Bowl makes two generous servings, but if you're serving smaller appetites, you can easily stretch it to three. The honey-glazed almonds add an irresistible crunch, but you can also switch up the toppings to suit your taste—try cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or fresh berries for extra flavor and antioxidants. However you top it, this smoothie bowl is a delicious and nutrient-dense way to support glowing, healthy skin.
Ingredients
2 pitted dates, roughly chopped
1 cup plain soymilk
1 sliced and frozen banana
½ avocado, peeled or ⅔ cup frozen diced avocado*
1½ tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch cinnamon
Toppings: Honey-glazed almonds, help seeds, sliced banana or berries
Honey-Glazed Almonds:
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup sliced almonds
Pinch kosher salt
Instructions
Soften the dates by soaking in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Next, place the soymilk, banana, avocado, cocoa power, almond butter, maple syrup, dates, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a blender. Then blend until smooth.
Pour into two bowls. Top with honey-glazed almonds (you will likely have extra, so enjoy later as a snack or in a salad), and sliced banana and hemp seeds, as desired.
To make the honey-glazed almonds: Heat the honey and oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring often, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye on the almonds, since they can go from golden to burnt in a matter of seconds.
Transfer the almonds to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Use a spatula or spoon to separate the nuts into a single layer. (A few small clusters are okay.)
* I rely on frozen fruits and vegetables for many of my recipes. Frozen produce is nutrient dense, convenient, and reduces food waste because you only use what you need.
