Refreshing Breakfast Smoothie Bowl

Making a good breakfast smoothie bowl is all about balancing the taste with its texture. Essentially, the fruits, veggies and natural milk are the main feature of the smoothie; however, you may also include nuts, ground flax seed, wheat germ or even vitamin C powder for added texture, as well as nutrients. Yet, for added flavor, include organic vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg or natural sweeteners like, brown sugar, organic honey or agave nectar.

That said, to make this breakfast smoothie bowl, start by gathering a combo of your favorite available fruits, like strawberries, mangoes, kiwis, pineapples, etc… You may even make your smoothie bowl all or mainly vegetables—choosing to use avocados, romaine lettuce, spinach, cucumbers… the choices are really endless. So make it your own!
