SPINACH SMOOTHIE BOWL

There is no real difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl other than the smoothie being served in a bowl, and you can add a generous amount of delicious and healthy toppings to it! Smoothie bowls are very filling, they are a perfect post workout meal, and they're my favorite Saturday morning brunch. My husband looks more at them like dessert. So he always gets a bite at the end of his meal. As much as I love kale, I like to use spinach over kale in my smoothies as the flavor is much more subtle, sometimes the kale gives the smoothie a more bitter taste. Nevertheless, I blended banana and spinach as the base and added in a few of my favorite superfoods as well as fiber filled toppings for an added crunch and health benefits.

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 cup spinach

1 tbsp almond butter

1 tsp maca

3/4 cup almond milk

2 ice cubes

1 tbsp hemp seeds

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp homemade granola

1 tbsp coconut shavings

Directions:

Add banana, spinach, almond butter, maca, almond milk and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour in a serving bowl and top with hemp, chia, coconut and granola.
