Energizing Smoothie Bowl

energizing smoothie bowl:: Energizing Smoothie Bowl ::

Hey friends! Let’s talk breakfast… I get stuck in a rut, all too often. How about you? I typically start my day with a protein shake. {Don’t get me wrong… I actually LOVE my morning shake, but sometimes I want a little change!} Since I have a moderate allergy to eggs, that eliminates the morning scramble.

Yesterday morning, Mr. Amazing and I switched it up by making this simple, yet delicious, Smoothie Bowl! It’s honestly the easiest and most versatile breakfast {or mid-day snack}! Just whip up your favorite smoothie… making it extra thick and creamy, and add a variety of your favorite healthy toppings!

For the smoothie base, I combined a mixture of organic frozen fruit {bananas, strawberries, pineapple, and mango}, raw spinach, almond butter, almond milk, chia seeds, and ice.

To create your own combination, use your favorite greens or other vegetables {kale, spinach, cucumber, etc.}, frozen fruit, protein {nut butters, chia seeds, or protein powder}, healthy fats {avocado, coconut oil, hemp seeds, chia seeds, or nut butters}, super foods {cinnamon, coconut, matcha tea powders, oats…}, liquid {cashew or almond milk, coconut milk, or water}, and ice. You can also add in a natural sweetener such as stevia or raw honey, if you desire!

For this particular smoothie bowl, I chose to top it with fresh strawberries, sliced bananas, ripe blueberries, slivered almonds, chia seeds, crunchy granola, and unsweetened shreds of coconut. {YUM!}

Other Topping Ideas:

  • natural nut butters {peanut, almond, etc.}
  • cacao nibs
  • raspberries
  • blackberries
  • grapes
  • kiwi
  • goji berries
  • pomegranate seeds
  • pumpkin seeds

    Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless
    I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post
    or vice-versa? My site goes over a lot of the same topics
    as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you’re interested feel free to send me
    an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!
