RECIPE: Basic Smoothie Bowls


Hi y'all!  So the other day I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, and this amazing article about smoothie bowls popped up. One click and I was literally obsessed. I really needed to step up my smoothie game, so I decided to try it out after getting back from art class today. My favorite thing about smoothies in general is that they're so easy and you can make them with whatever you have. I'll post what I used, as well as a general recipe you can use :)
Smoothie Base: 

+ 1 cup almond milk, or other milk of your choice
+ 2 cups fresh spinach or other greens
+ 1/2 cup frozen mango
+ 1/2 cup frozen pineapple

I really don't like putting berries in green smoothies because it turns this muddy shade of brown, and although it's delicious, it's not the prettiest thing ever!

Toppings: the best thing about smoothie bowls is the toppings because it's like froyo but healthy! Here's my formula: 
+  sliced banana, 1/2 to full depending on size
+  something crunchy, like granola or cereal
+  something fun and totally up to you :)

Smoothie bowls and I...it was love at first blend! I know smoothie bowls will be part of my regular routine from now. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram to keep up with my food/smoothie bowl adventures!
