All The Goodness in One Bowl!
With fresh, immune supporting ingredients, healthy fats, whole grains, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, this smoothie bowl is a win for any time of the year.
The recipe calls for specific toppings but, we chose our own favorites and so can you. A good option is to always choose organic and what’s in season in your local area, if possible.
We chose Organic Strawberries, Blackberries & Mango (it was on sale..bonus!).
Additional toppings were Organic Hemp Seeds, Purely Elizabeth Blueberry Hemp Granola & Unsweetened Dried Coconut. YUM!
Going Green
What gives is the body of the smoothie bowl that rich green color?
- Organic Avocado
- Organic Baby Spinach
- Matcha Green Tea Powder
Avocado gives the thickness to the bowl and adds important healthy fats that are needed for cellular and brain health plus natural energy.
Baby spinach provides vitamins & minerals and is a natural source of iron.
Matcha is a pure form of tea & is loaded with anti-oxidants and natural caffeine. The greener the better with Matcha. We like a brand from our professional grade supplement dispensary. (PWS Members receive a 15% discount!) Consider cutting your a.m. coffee and enjoying this delish heathful bowl instead!

TIP:
* Feel free to use coconut water if you like a sweeter smoothie.
** If your blender has a hard time blending dates smooth, you may want to swap the date out for a teaspoon or two of pure maple syrup. It also helps to use a very fresh date as they’re softer and blend easier. You may also be able to omit the date all together and use coconut water as your base for sweetness.
*** You can find the recipe for this granola in Oh She Glows Every Day, p. 33.
**** If fresh berries are out of season, feel free to use frozen or swap them with banana slices for your topping.
