The blueberry muffin gets a healthy makeover.
Blueberry muffins really look like they should the perfect breakfast food. They’re delicious, for sure, especially when they’re warm out of the oven. And with all that fruit in them, they should be really healthy, right?
Well, not so much. One of those big blueberry muffins they sell at bakeries has over 450 calories, 19 grams of fat, 39 grams of sugar, and just 1 gram of fiber. Maybe it’s not the worst thing you could eat for breakfast, but it’s definitely not health food.
A really perfect breakfast would give you the delicious flavor of a blueberry muffin without all that extra sugar and fat. Instead, it would be packed with healthy ingredients like fruit, yogurt, and nutrient-packed seeds.
Sounds like a job for a smoothie bowl!
This Blueberry Muffin Smoothie Bowl puts the best part of a blueberry muffin – the berries – front and center. It’s a creamy blend of blueberries, banana, yogurt, and milk, topped with more fresh fruit, coconut, and chia seeds. It’s got the blueberry flavor you love, without anything your body doesn’t need.
