Do you often find yourself skipping breakfast all together because you are tired of the same old selection? Or perhaps you are trying to make healthy choices and that sugary cereal isn't going to serve you well. Or like most of us, you rush out of the door only to realize a few blocks down the road, that once again you neglected your {hungry} self. Rest assure as there are easy solutions for this all-too-familiar morning chaos.
I find that Smoothie Bowls are the perfect solution to my morning routine because it is a quick way to throw something healthy together and eat on the go (that's when Mason jars come in handy!). This healthy substitute to the traditional breakfast can be done ahead of time. Blend it up the night before and just add your favorite berries and nuts in the morning, on your way out the door.
By no means should you limit this option to your morning breakfast. I often have a smoothie bowl for lunch, topped with all kinds of goodies and healthy fats such as avocado and cashews, granola, berries, coconut flakes and chia seeds drizzled with honey. The ability to mix and match and customize it to your liking makes this healthy meal an irresistible choice.
No wonder smoothie bowls have become a favorite go-to meal to nearly all healthy minded folks, yogis, dietitians, athletes, foodies... just to name a few.
Smoothie bowls are undoubtedly a great way to add some nutrition to your diet. As if I needed to be persuaded to try it 🙂 I love fun and colorful foods. A meal that is easy and versatile, customizable and that can fit into my crazy schedule, surely is a good option.
My kids have become big fans of smoothie bowls, as one can imagine the fun and creative ways they come up with, to mix and match and play around with their favorite flavors.
Top your Smoothie Bowl with these delicious options:
- Fruits (banana, peach, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, pomegranate)
- Nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, walnuts)
- Seeds (chia, pumpkin, sunflower)
- Granola (get my Nuts and Seeds Granola recipe here)
- Coconut flakes
- Sweetener (if needed drizzle with honey, maple syrup, agave or natural liquid Stevia)
