And though a lot of people use it as a chocolate substitute, let me tell you something, it does not taste like chocolate. Thank god, we already have a superfood that tastes exactly like chocolate: chocolate. And it is already perfect. So if you first tried carob as a chocolate substitute, chances are your carob relationship started off on the wrong foot. To me, carob tastes a little bit like toasted caramel. SO GOOD. Not familiar with carob? Oh, you should definitely try it, you won’t regret it. It is a great addition to a lot of recipes; think sweet sauces, nice creams, smoothies, cakes and cookies. It really is one of my favorite ingredients and I use it a lot. It also has some great nutritional benefits, you can read more about this [here](https://draxe.com/nutrition/article/carob-chips/) . Carob takes simple (yet super tasty) blueberries to another level. And almond butter, well, almond butter just makes everything better; but you probably already know that. I also added some hemp seeds for protein and a little maca powder to boost up the nutrient content and taste. This is a powerful little smoothie bowl. Need I say I’m obsessed with it?! Lately, I’ve been having this bowl at least twice a week. Tastes like blueberry-caramel heaven. Just DELICIOUS. **If you try this recipe, let us know what you think.

I like to keep a stash of frozen bananas in my freezer so I can make smoothie bowls whenever I want (all the time, actually). Peel them, cut them in half, and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. The riper the bananas, the tastier and sweeter the smoothie. Green bananas = bland smoothies.**I use coconut nectar for two reasons. One, we don't have maple syrup down here. A real shame, I know! Two, besides being absolutely delicious, it has a low glycemic index. But feel free to use maple syrup instead.***The blueberry-carob flavor combo was inspired by a smoothie recipe found in the [Clean Program](https://www.cleanprogram.com/) book, by Alejandro Junger. ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2021/04/13/blueberry-carob-smoothie-bowl/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2021%2F04%2F13%2Fblueberry-carob-smoothie-bowl%2F) to post a comment.
