I wrote this recipe for my cookbook that Im working on. Yet Im going to give you a sneak peek into this recipe as I have already had it published in a few places! And also, its the perfect time of the year for a new smoothie recipe, with the start of Summer here and that wonderful incentive you feel to eat more healthy, fresh foods!
Smoothie bowls are such a great way to enjoy everything you love about a smoothie, with a little extra fun and nourishment. If you find your morning smoothie doesn’t sustain you for too long, try topping it with some extra nuts, seeds, dried fruit, fresh fruit, oats or buckinis. You can also try adding a teaspoon of plant-based protein for a little extra substance.
