Blueberry Smoothie Bar Ingredients
- 2 cups of your favorite granola
- 2 ripe bananas (frozen)
- 3/4-1 cup O Organics™ frozen wild blueberries or fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (the full-fat cream from a can of coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
How to Make Blueberry Smoothie Bars
Step 1
Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle granola evenly on the bottom of the pan, so it covers the bottom.
Step 2
Drain cashews first, then add the soft cashews to a food processor or high-powered blender, along with the coconut cream, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the processor as you go, and pulse until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Add bananas, and pulse until the mixture has an ice cream-like consistency. Add frozen blueberries and lemon juice, pulsing until everything is incorporated. The mixture can be as chunky or smooth as you like.
Step 4
Scoop mixture on top of granola (it will be thick!), and carefully smooth the fruit mixture evenly over granola. Top with more blueberries and toasted coconut.
