You all know I love my green smoothies (especially for lunch), but sometimes a girl just wants to eat her lunch with a spoon. And chew. And crunch around a little bit.
<br />
<br />But still get that same oooo-weeeee baby! powered up and ready to go feeling that only green smoothies can do.
<br />
<br />And lately, I just can’t stop with these. It’s like the perfect combo. The perfect meal, really.
<br />
<br />But, one wrong move, and you’ll be sipping yours through a straw instead.
<br />
<br />So for as much as I hate prescriptive rules when it comes to cooking (be free little friends!), here are some useful tips for better bowl making, so you can start out as a pro:
<br />
<br />Rules to Green Smoothie Bowl Success: A How To Guide
<br />
<br />Only use frozen bananas. I pre-cut mine and keep them in a big ziploc in the fridge so they’re always ready to go.
<br />Start with just a tiny amount of water in the blender.
<br />Using a very clean protein powder or avocado gives it a awesome thicker texture, and great satisfying staying power for the hours that follow it.
<br />Toppings need to include a little bit from each of these categories: sweetness and chewiness, tiny crunches and big crunches (see below).
<br />Ice ice baby. And always. After the first ingredients are already blended of course. This makes it fluffy.
<br />Don’t be too serious. Have fun, and play around with your toppings. It’s like art-time for grown ups. Like lunch that you get to decorate with sprinkles on top.
<br />And lastly- appreciate it. Take the 5 minutes to make something beautiful and fresh and healthy and good for yourself, and a more powerful day will follow.
<br />
<br />And then, repeat daily. And a more beautiful, fulfilling, and powerful life will follow. It’s the truth.
