I love a good smoothie because they are delicious, filling and chock full of goodness in so many ways. However, at times, when I am having a smoothie for a meal and not just a snack, I miss the act of using utensils and chewing, which is where delectable smoothie bowls come in.
Smoothie bowls are basically smoothies, served in a bowl with a spoon, and are finished off with any toppings you wish. Think along the lines of shredded coconut, goji berries, granola, dried fruits, and any other delicious ingredients you would like to add in and eat. This is where you can unleash your inner child and create the most colorful and unique smoothie bowl creations of your own.
