#ad {new recipe} Lately I've been dreaming of tropical travel escapes and I keep coming back to my trip to Kauai. Every morning we'd go to a local coffee shop for the BEST smoothie bowls. SO while daydreaming about beachy places I've been enjoying this TROPICAL BERRY GREENS SMOOTHIE BOWL made with @botanicahealth Perfect Greens!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Made right here in Canada, the Perfect Greens Berry flavour is my go-to for smoothies to make sure I get in my daily greens as it's packed with 7400mg of organic greens per scoop. It gives a great flavour to these smoothie bowls so here's how to make them - enjoy friends!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Makes 1 large or 2 small smoothie bowls:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ingredients:
1/2 cup strawberries
1 cup tropical fruit (pineapple, mango or other blend)
1/2 banana
1 1/2 cup almond milk (or other milk choice)
2 tbsp shredded coconut
1 scoop @botanicahealth Perfect Greens - Berry
Toppings: blueberries, shredded coconut, granola, kiwi
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Blend everything together in a blender, pour into a bowl and top with toppings. Enjoy!
