Elise’s Green Smoothie Bowl
While the green smoothie bowl packs the same nutrition of the more traditional smoothies, it’s thicker in consistency with the addition of fun toppings!
Plus, sometimes you just need to dig in with a spoon. Start with this base and then vary the greens depending on tastes and availability. When you choose different toppings and nutritional boosts each time, it will prevent green smoothie bowl boredom!
