If you are not quite sure if you like green smoothies, start here with this recipe. A healthy but sweet avocado, banana, green smoothie bowl that’s very delicious and far from the ‘swamp juice’ you might be scared of! It’s very easy to make, a good source of fibre and nutrient-packed.

Why you will love this healthy mint smoothie bowl:

A very easy way to increase your fruit and vegetable intake. The majority of people do not meet the recommended daily intakes for fruit and vegetables – in fact, they fall quite far from it! Blending them into a smoothie can be a convenient way to boost your diet. This is a nourishing, balanced smoothie recipe.

Naturally sweetened so you will actually want to drink it! Obviously the most important factor here is the taste of this green smoothie. It’s sweet tasting thanks to the use of banana, dates, mint flavour and protein powder.

Are smoothie bowls actually healthy?

Smoothie bowls can be a healthy snack or even a quick breakfast or lunch if you want something light and fresh. This particular recipe is nutritionally balanced with protein, carbohydrates and fats. It provides fibre as this is a smoothie bowl, not a juice (where typically the fibres are removed from the fruit/veggies).

It really depends on what goes into the smoothie for it to be considered healthy! Keep in mind also that one specific meal/snack/recipe doesn’t make you ‘healthy’. Health is more about your overall eating pattern over a long period of time – so there’s room for smoothie bowls and plenty of other foods, too.

This smoothie bowl is designed to serve one hungry person – and takes less than 10 minutes to assemble!

Smoothie bowls are a trend that I am definitely on board with. Who wouldn’t want to eat a super thick smoothie with a spoon and a ton of delicious toppings?

I tend to go for acai, coconut type bowls, BUT, this mint one is SO good and seriously tastes like mint ice cream.

It is chock full (ha, no pun intended), of superfoods and antioxidants and good-for-you ingredients. Make this when you need a fun and different breakfast from your regular routine!

It’s a great way to make sure you start your day off with a good measure of protein. A well-balanced diet with proper ratios of macro nutrients (protein, healthy carbs and fats) provides all of the: energy you need to keep active throughout the day. nutrients you need for growth and repair, helping you to stay strong and healthy and help to prevent diet-related illness.

When you find your optimal balance and amounts of macro nutrients, you take a major step toward reaching your health goals and this balance has been improved in this recipe by the addition of healthy protein.
