Sweet & Savory Smoothie Bowls

If you haven’t heard, smoothie bowls are a growing trend due to their bright colors and nutritious benefits. A smoothie bowl is exactly what it sounds like, a smoothie in a bowl! The difference between a smoothie bowl and your average smoothie in a glass is that they tend to be a bit thicker and people like to add toppings such as fruits, nuts, and granola to them. You can have them for any meal or even a post-workout snack and they usually include greens, fruits, protein, and a healthy fat.

Here are three different smoothie bowl recipes you should try!

Mango Almond Smoothie Bowl– 1/2 C frozen mango (chopped), 1/2 C nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 C frozen banana (sliced), 1/4 C plain unsweetened almond milk, 1/8 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp honey, one serving of almonds and 1/4 C raspberries to top it off.

Honeydew Smoothie Bowl – 4 C frozen honeydew (cubed 1/2-in pieces), 1/2 C unsweetened coconut milk beverage, 1/3 C green juice (such as wheatgrass), 1 Tbsp honey, pinch of salt, melon balls – berries – nuts – fresh basil to top it off!

Berry, Banana & Avocado Smoothie Bowl – 1 C Silk (not chocolate flavor), 1/2 C oats, 1 C frozen banana, 1 C frozen mixed berries, 1/4 avocado, 1-2 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed, topping suggestions – goji berries, chia seeds, fresh berries, pumpkin seeds, granola.
