Lately, I have been noticing all these swanky smoothie bowls floating around Pinterest. I spent hours clicking on smoothie bowl after smoothie bowl, and just drooling over the gorgeous pictures! At last, I decided, I was going to concoct a smoothie bowl of my own.
And so it began,
What better way to kick off “new year, new me” than with some good ole leafy greens & matcha?!
I started with frozen fruits, spinach, coconut milk (canned, that’s all i had on hand) and water. Blended on low speed, until the mixture was a thick soft serve consistency. Then I added in matcha powder, chia seeds, honey and mint leaves. And just like that, a smoothie bowl was born!
The trick here is to use frozen fruits!! I repeat, use frozen fruits! You will get that just right consistency. Top off your bowl with, some unsweetened dried coconut flakes, granola and chia seeds. I hope you enjoy this, as much as I did! I feel “healthy” already, just by staring at all that green. All that glitters is not gold, it is green! ha!
