Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are a great way to use up extra spinach or fruit you may have around. Pre-slice and freeze your fruit to help add better texture to your smoothie. If you don’t have frozen fruit on hand, you can use fresh fruit but will need to add more ice to create the best smoothie texture. Get creative with your toppings to add crunch and color to your smoothie bowls. Oats add more fiber and protein to this smoothie bowl. Depending on your preference, you may want to cook and cool the oatmeal before using it.
