On top of that, the smoothie is packed with nutrients and can be consumed for both breakfast or as an afternoon treat without spiking your blood sugar.

Optional Variations Of This Creamy Smoothie

If you have preferences and ingredients you like more than others, I will leave a couple of options to change this recipe a bit, and make it more suitable for your tastes!

Here are some of the options:

• Instead of carrots, you can use sweet potatoes. The use of sweet potato will make your bowl much sweeter than carrots, but it will still be relatively low in sugar.
• You can easily replace the vegetable stock with dairy-free milk. Coconut milk for example can add creaminess and flavor.
• You can add more toppings if you like, for example, granola on top could be crunchy and satisfying. 

The Equipment:

I love using a food processor when making smoothie bowls.

But, if I am only making a single-serving smoothie bowl, my personal favorite is the Nutribullet 600.

Dietary:

Do note that the recipe will be gluten-free and paleo-friendly, only if the vegetable stock use is clean and gluten-free.

I like using homemade vegetable stock.
