Iron-Boosting Berry & Spinach Smoothie Bowl

A vibrant and nutritious breakfast bowl packed with iron-rich ingredients and enhanced with The Iron Egg for a natural energy boost.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:

For the Iron-Infused Water:

• 300ml water
• 1 Iron Egg
• 3 drops of lemon juice

For the Smoothie Base:

• 100g fresh spinach leaves
• 150g mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)
• 1 ripe banana, frozen and sliced
• 3 tablespoons rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 200ml iron-infused water (from above)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• Ice (optional)

For the Toppings:

• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
• 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
• Fresh mixed berries
• Sliced banana
• Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Method:

STEP 1
First, prepare the iron-infused water. Bring 300ml water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add The Iron Egg and 3 drops of lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the Iron Egg carefully and allow the water to cool completely.

STEP 2
In a high-powered blender, combine the spinach, mixed berries, frozen banana slices, rolled oats, chia seeds, and 200ml of the cooled iron-infused water. Add ice (optional).

STEP 3
Blend until smooth and creamy. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for additional sweetness. The consistency should be thicker than a regular smoothie but pourable.

STEP 4
Pour the smoothie mixture into bowls. Arrange the toppings artfully on the surface: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, fresh berries, and banana slices. Finish with a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.

STEP 5
Serve immediately while cold and fresh.

Tips:

• Freeze the banana overnight for a creamier, colder smoothie bowl.
• The iron-infused water can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For additional iron, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the smoothie base.
• The vitamin C from the berries helps your body absorb the iron more effectively.
• This smoothie bowl provides approximately 30% of your daily iron requirements.
