Strawberry Smoothie Bowl With Toppings
Breakfast, lunch or dessert - this smoothie bowl recipe is a treat any which way you enjoy it! It tastes like a strawberry milkshake and it’s pure, creamy, healthy, heaven in a bowl. I love that smoothie bowls are quick to make and even easier to smother in healthy toppings than regular old smoothies that you drink through a straw. Not only do smoothie bowl toppings make things a little more fun, but they also take a slightly-filling smoothie into the actual-meal category. People sometimes ask, are smoothie bowls actually healthy?I say you betcha. Smoothie bowls are every bit as healthy as regular smoothies. They are loaded with fruit, and as long as you keep the toppings healthy, too, they are maybe even more healthy than old-fashioned, through-a-straw smoothies because they are delivering even more fiber and good fat and protein. Smoothie bowls satisfy us better than their drinkable counterparts, too, because you can eat them with a spoon. They feel more like a legit meal, particularly when covered with our favorite smoothie toppings.One of the best things about this smoothie bowl recipe is that it’s more a template than a recipe. You can play around with the ingredients all you want. If you want this as post-workout treat, consider adding protein powder to the mix! Or if you aren’t crazy about strawberries, swap in whatever fruit you love (or happen to have in the freezer) - any berry would be terrific in this, or try mango or pineapple for a slightly tropical vibe. Create your own masterpiece as your go-to smoothie bowl with its own perfect soft serve like texture. You can enjoy a delicious healthy dessert like treat for breakfast, lunch or a snack, colorful, tasty and easy to make. Doesn’t get any better than that!
