Acai Smoothie Bowl

Posted by Allen Burt on

In recent months, the health trend of smoothie bowls has taken off. Smoothie bowls offer protein, fruits, veggies, and other nutrients first thing in the morning. They are easy and relatively quick to make, and are substantial enough to keep you full until lunch. This week we gave smoothie bowls a try. Check out the recipe, courtesy of Vitamix.com, below.

Reflection

This was a big hit around the office! Many were shocked that this smoothie bowl contained both matcha and kale. The berries added just enough natural sweetness to add flavor without a ton of calories or fat. The smoothie bowl kept you full and satisfied! I would overall reccommend that you give this recipe a try! This could easily take the place of your normal morning breakfast and will keep you full until lunch time. Add protein powder for additional nutrients.
