4 Homemade Smoothie Bowl Recipes

4 Homemade Smoothie Bowl Recipes

by Nicole Kiley, MSc, RD

I don’t know about ya’ll but I am SWEATING TO DEATH out here in Vegas! I’ve also been craving refreshing, sweet beverages and snacks more often than usual. While I love smoothies, there is something about not chewing my food that rubs me the wrong way. I thoroughly enjoy the process of eating. This leads me to today’s blog – smoothie bowls!
Smoothie bowls are an excellent means of consuming nutrient-rich foods while also satisfying your sweet tooth. Because smoothie bowls are comprised of fluids, fruits and veggies, they are also very hydrating. Here are a few recipes that I’ve found be both nutritious and delicious!
