Vanilla Cashew Smoothie Bowl

Start your day with a delicious and satisfying paleo breakfast or snack! This vanilla cashew smoothie bowl is creamy, refreshing, and packed with healthy ingredients like frozen banana, soaked cashews, coconut milk, and chia seeds. It's topped with shredded coconut and fresh berries for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.

The idea for this smoothie bowl came to me one morning when I was looking for a quick and easy paleo breakfast. I had some frozen bananas and soaked cashews in the freezer, and I thought, 'Why not blend them together with some coconut milk and vanilla extract?' The result was a creamy, delicious smoothie that was perfect for a quick breakfast on the go. I've since added chia seeds and shredded coconut to the recipe for an extra boost of protein and fiber. And of course, no smoothie bowl is complete without a topping of fresh berries!
