Here is a fun way to serve your morning smoothie. You can easily the adjust the fruit and toppings to your liking, and can add nut butters or protein powder if you need something a little more substantial. This is great to do if you have bored quarentined kids at home in need of a creative healthy activity. Take it to the next level and have them create their own "signature" smoothie bowl with all their favorites. Make them write it down on a recipe card and post it on the fridge...they'll be much more likely to make it again!
