Who needs a pot of gold when you have a totally delightful Rainbow Green Smoothie Bowl recipe?
Hi guys!
You may have noticed but I've been on a bit of a smoothie bowl kick lately. Even though there is still a chill in the air, I love the ease of blending together breakfast. PLUS if you had a handful of greens like kale or spinach, it's a super easy way to start the day with a huge, natural vitamin boost.
So in honor of St. Patrick's Day next week I decided to make a fun Rainbow Green Smoothie Bowl recipe!
Here's how to make a Rainbow Green Smoothie Bowl...
I've played around with the green smoothie bowl base and I love the way mango and banana balance out the greens. So this smoothie bowl is a simple combination of frozen mango, banana, a handful of kale and almond milk. You can also use spinach if you like that more. I've been trying to watch my protein intake, so I also added a scoop of plant based protein powder.
If you don't like frozen banana you can easily sub frozen pineapple, but I love the creaminess and sweetness of the banana. If you haven't blended a smoothie bowl yet, remember to add just a little less liquid than you would with a normal smoothie. That gives you the thickness that is perfect for using a spoon.
Now of course the star of the show for my Rainbow Green Smoothie Bowl recipe is the toppings!
SUREEEEEE.... you could just throw them on top... but I feel like life is more fun with pretty food. I have a feeling that if you are reading this, you just might agree with me. 🙂
To make the rainbow I used Goji berries, strawberries, clementines, pineapple, blueberries. You can use whatever fruit you can find fresh in those colors though. I also added some coconut and fresh mint!
I like the Goji Berries because they add a different texture and they are a fabulous superfood, especially for folks on a plant based diet. They are a little pricey, but the bag lasts a long time.
This oh so pretty rainbow meal may look a little fancy, but it comes together quickly and is so delicious. You've got to jump on the smoothie bowl train with me.
