Smoked Salmon & Spinach "Eggs Benedict" Smoothie Bowl

A 520-calorie Brunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 4 oz (113g) smoked salmon
• 2 cups (60g) fresh spinach
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped chives, for garnish
• 2 slices (50g) whole-wheat toast, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep: Roughly chop the smoked salmon and spinach. Cut the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh.
2. Combine all ingredients (smoked salmon, spinach, avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ice cubes, salt, and pepper) in a high-speed blender.
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or almond milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer a more pronounced "hollandaise" flavor, add a tiny bit more Dijon or lemon juice.
5. Pour the smoothie into two serving bowls.
6. Garnish each bowl with chopped chives. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of whole-wheat toast for dipping.
7. Enjoy this innovative take on a classic brunch!
