Salted Tahini Date Smoothie Bowl with No-Bake Granola

This Salted Tahini Date Smoothie Bowl with No-bake Granola is rich, creamy, and nutritious. It’s our latest obsession and somehow tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie in the form of a vegan powerhouse breakfast smoothie. Enjoy this one any time of the day as a meal, healthy snack, or even for dessert!

Smoothie Bowl Ingredients

Cauliflower: One of the main ingredients and really packs a punch nutritionally. It’s low in calories, zero fat, and contains 100% of the daily recommended Vitamin C and about 25% of the daily recommended Vitamin K. Cauliflower contains mostly water to help keep us hydrated and is also a good source of fiber.

Banana: High in antioxidants, potassium, fiber, magnesium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B6.

Almond Milk: A disease-fighting antioxidant and naturally high in Vitamin E. It’s also low in fat compared to cow’s milk.

Dates:  Known to improve bone health. They are also rich in iron and vitamins, and because of their high fiber content, they can improve digestion.

Tahini: Full of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. A vegan staple for sure!

Cinnamon: Loaded with antioxidants and may have positive effects against cancer. It also has anti-inflammatory properties aiding our bodies in fighting infections and repairing tissue damage.

Sea Salt: Contains minerals like potassium, iron, and calcium.

Tips for Making this Salted Tahini Date Smoothie Bowl

Frozen cauliflower is the first ingredient here, but, I promise, you can’t even taste it. I like to add the florets to our food processor and pulse a few times until it’s broken down into small pieces. Frozen, store-bought cauliflower rice is another great option, as it makes measuring a lot easier, and it’s always ready to be blended into a smoothie. Store in an air-tight container or baggie in the freezer for up to six months.

This smoothie is thick enough to hold toppings in a bowl, so using the tamp that came with our blender helps incorporate the ingredients while blending. If you like a thinner consistency, add more almond milk.

Vanilla almond milk is what we use for this particular smoothie; however, feel free to use any plant-based milk you have on hand like soy, coconut, or even macadamia milk.

Maca powder is a great flavor addition if you have it. Plus, it’s known to help gain muscle, increase strength, boost energy, and improve exercise or athletic performance.

Don’t skip the no-bake granola! It’s really easy to make and adds so much flavor to this smoothie bowl.

These Bowls can be purchased from Coconut Bowls who are on a mission to replace plastic with natural products and in doing so inspire a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Super cool company!

There’s really no compromise when it comes to vegan cooking.  It’s better for us, for the animals, and for our environment, so make these nutritious smoothie bowls and share them with someone you love – whether they’re vegan or not!
