Earthy & Nutritious Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are the perfect way to get some greens in your body and extra nutrients. They are delicious, and let's face it, in this weather, smoothies and smoothie bowls are the sane way to go. 

This green smoothie bowl gets its earthy taste from spirulina, a nutritious superfood packed with vitamins and antioxidants. It’s also a great source of iron! 

Ingredients:

• frozen bananas (about 2 medium sized bananas)
• frozen berries (about 1/4-1/2 cup to your taste)
• spinach or kale or both
• protein powder (I used SunWarrior Collagen Building Protein Peptides)
• about 1/2-1 tbsp of spirulina

Process:

• Blend everything with a splash of plant milk or water 
• It takes some patience if you're trying to make a smoothie bowl because you want your consistency to be like ice cream, so don't add too much water and stir ingredients a bit with a spoon to help speed the process in between blending
• ​If you want a smoothie, add extra water and/or plant milk until desired consistency
• You can add some nut butter to the smoothie (or bowl) for extra flavor and even some cacao nibs
• Serve as is or with favorite toppings and enjoy! 

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Remember that you can adjust your fruits and greens as necessary. Feel free to explore with different fruits, veggies, and greens. Cooking and creating in the kitchen is an art form. Enjoy the process.
