If you like your breakfast on the sweeter side, this post is for you. There are so many varieties of smoothie bowls you can make and even more variations when it comes to toppings. Including fruits and vegetables will maximize nutritional value for your day. Below are the recipes for two smoothie bowls I have made myself, but the possibilities are endless!
Green Machine Bowl
Ingredients:
Handful of Spinach
1/2 of a Banana
1/4 cup Frozen Pineapple
1/4 cup Frozen Mango
1/3 cup Juice of a Orange (self-squeezed)
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Orgain)
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in a powerful blender (I use a NutriBullet), put frozen ingredients on the bottom and fresh ingredients over that. Add protein powder and liquid last.
2. Blend for 45 seconds. If it is too thick add extra liquid (almond milk/water), if it is too thin, add ice.
3. Once you reach desired consistency, pour into a bowl.
4. Top with whatever toppings you enjoy, I used chia seeds, coconut flakes, and sliced banana. (Granola, nuts, other sliced fruits are also great options)
