I recently get a NutriBullet for my birthday from my parents and I am completely in love. Since I got it I think I have made at least one smoothie a day and this past weekend I experimented with making a smoothie bowl. I'm sure you have seen them on Instagram and such so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about! It actually turned out really well! It is definitely a super easy breakfast or snack to make and it is super healthy for you. It is essentially just a smoothie with a bunch of toppings. I did a bunch of research before making mine to see what people put in theirs and honestly the biggest thing I found was that it was all personal preference. The best part about this was that we has all of these things in my house! So it was super easy to make and honestly anyone could do it! The first thing I did was chop up and lay out all of my toppings. Since it was my first try I wasn't sure how thick the smoothie would be so I wanted to make sure I had everything ready so I could assemble it quickly (for the pictures obviously). So I used half a mango, half a banana (the other half I put in the smoothie), half an apple, some rice krispies, some granola, some semi sweet chocolate that has been chopped up and finally some flax seed (not pictured). I decided to make two separate smoothies so that the colours were vibrant. The first layer was a smoothie that had ice, half a banana, kale and half of an acai super fruit package (I will link those bellow). The second layer definitely had a better taste to it and added most of the sweetness and fruity flavour. For this layer I put frozen mango, frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, orange juice, milk and ice. Just throw it all in the NutriBullet and let it do its thing. Finally just throw all of the toppings on and enjoy! The best part about the bowl is that you can really use anything you want for the base and toppings. So experiment and find whatever you like best! xo Recipe: My Smoothie Bowl Green Base Layer: 3-4 large ice cubes 1 cup of kale (frozen or fresh - I used frozen) 1/2 banana (frozen or fresh) 1/2 of a acai super fruit pack (optional) Fruit Layer:
