Gorgeous Green Smoothie Bowl – Recipe and VIDEO

Energize your family’s day with this Gorgeous Green Smoothie Bowl. Made with kiwi, baby spinach (or kale), frozen banana, and other good-for-you-ingredients, you can serve this for breakfast or as an after-school snack.

I tend to get obsessed with food trends, and when smoothie bowls started popping up on Instagram, I started blending and decorating and devouring. My boys laugh at me when I go through my “little phases,” but clearly, they are the ones who reap the benefits. I became so fixated with smoothie bowls a while back that I even created a coloring cookbook dedicated to their versatility, good nutrition, and fun.

This smoothie bowl lives up to it's name: It's gorgeous! The color is a vibrant green thanks to the kiwi and baby spinach, but don't let the spinach freak you or the kids out, because each tiny leaf blends right in. And with mango as the star superfood ingredient, you'll get over 20 different vitamins and minerals in every spoonful. Smoothie bowls are thicker than smoothies, so pour into bowls, decorate with your favorite nutrient-rich toppings, and eat with a spoon.
