Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl
When you eat this outside on the terras, you think you are on the beach. You feel your feed slide through the sand. The sun shines, and the water flows. It's the holiday season.
When you open your eyes, real life takes you back. Your feet are in the sandbox of the little one, and your youngest is watering the sand to make a mud bath. Back to reality, but the relaxed feeling stays for just a while. Enjoy.
A smoothie bowl is almost the same as a smoothie. But instead of drinking it, you'll use a spoon to clean your bowl! It's a thick, rich, and creamy breakfast. And filling and healthy.
Why this Works
Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, which concentrates its protein, that's what gives this mousse body without gelatin or cooking. The oats do double duty, swelling slightly as they sit and soaking up a little of the strawberry juice, so the texture gets thicker, not thinner, the longer it stands.
