  • To make the smoothie blend the chilled keto chow with the avocado, coconut cream, flat leaf parsley, lime juice, and ginger in a blender and blend until smooth.

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie Bowl

These smoothie bowls are a perfect warm-weather treat. Offer a selection of fresh or frozen berries, nuts, and seeds - even chocolate chips, and let kids dress up their own bowl however they like, for a fun family meal. To scoop out just the rich cream for this recipe, I place a can of coconut milk in the freezer for about ten minutes.
