I used 1\/2 a frozen banana and that really makes it thick!<\/p>\n<p>Then top with crunchy bits of goodness (chia, hemp, granola, nuts, seeds, cacao nibs, fruit). A little goes a long way with this and when I was done, I was full!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dianna also makes homemade granola. This is way better than the store bought version because there are no preservatives, and you know exactly what is going in it! A little granola on the Greek Yogurt or on top of this smoothie bowl would add great crunch and texture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kelowna.website\/6\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_20170201_142355207.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6866 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kelowna.website\/6\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_20170201_142355207-576x1024.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Homemade Granola<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dry:<\/p>\n<p>2 cups old-fashioned oats (not quick oats)<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup nuts (almonds, walnuts)<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup dried fruit (craisins, raisins, dates, add after cooking)<\/p>\n<p>Wet:<\/p>\n<p>4 tbsp maple syrup or honey (or mix)<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp coconut oil<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp nut butter<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 tsp vanilla<\/p>\n<p>pinch salt<\/p>\n<p>Mix all ingredients together until well coated and place on a cookie sheet in a thin layer. &nbsp;Place in a pre-heated 300F oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 min (in my oven I did it for 25 min).
