DIY Paleo/Keto Smoothie Bowl Topper

Green smoothies are a great quick breakfast or meal option when you're on the go and don't have a lot of time to make food and get your protein, carbs and healthy fats in all at once.

As much as I like my green smoothies, I also personally really like to eat or chew my food. It's more satisfying. I find that just drinking my smoothie doesn't leave me feeling satisfied.

So I often make a green smoothie, pour some into a small bowl and then top it with some yummy goodies. I've seen these "superfood" packages being sold in the organic sections of grocery stores and they are pricey!

Now I pre-make my smoothie topper so I can have it ready for a few days worth of smoothie bowls to speed things up a bit in the mornings.

Paleo/Keto Smoothie Bowl Topper Recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Chia seeds
1/2 cup of hemp hearts
1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut shreds
1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup of almond flour
1/4 cup of sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in small to medium sized mason jar.

2. Shake it up until throughly mixed.

3. Add to a smoothie bowl as a topper and enjoy!

EXTRA TIP: You can also try other goodies like raw cacao nibs, sunflower seeds, or other nuts. I also like to add a pinch of bee pollen on top of my topper!
