Vegan Keto Banana Free Smoothie Bowl
Banana is a ‘no-go’ for keto. So, how do you make a banana free smoothie bowl? The secret is in cauliflower. Yes, you read that right. Cauliflower! Adding Sea Moss Gel to this recipe gives it a nutrient-dense hit. Combining this with a few raspberries on top (not too many so we don’t overdo the natural sugars and lose our state of ketosis) add pops of flavor that you won’t forget.

- 1/2 a cup of cauliflower (steamed and frozen as mentioned above)
- 1 cup of frozen baby spinach leaves

You will also need

Method
- Cut the cauliflower into manageable florets for your blender.

Pro tip: use a silicone spiritual to scrape down the walls of the blender and ensure all ingredients are mixed through – do this when the blender is turned off.
- Pour blended smoothie into a bowl and top with your preferred toppings.
