This vibrant smoothie bowl combines a fruit-packed smoothie with crunchy granola, making it the perfect go-to breakfast or snack item.
Preheat the oven to 325F [165C]. Lightly oil a 18-by-13-inch [46-by-33-cm] pan.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, honey, and sugar over low heat until the butter is completely melted. Whisk together until incorporated.
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and butter-honey mixture until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Pour the oat mixture onto the prepared pan and spread out in an even layer. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through and stirring every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes or until evenly golden brown.
Let cool for 30 minutes. Stir in the prunes and store in air-tight containers. The granola makes enough for 16 servings and keeps at room temperature for 6 weeks.
To make the smoothie bowls, blend the frozen raspberries, 3 bananas and 10 fl oz [300 ml] orange juice in a blender, adding the remaining orange juice as needed to create a thick and creamy consistency. Pour into 4 chilled bowls and sprinkle with granola. Cut the remaining banana into slices and sprinkle over the bowl.
