Green Goddess Smoothie

 

My love for smoothies grew into a serious relationship with smoothie bowls. With a smoothie bowl shop in my town, it was an inevitable relationship. I love trying new toppings, mixing the bases, and drowning it in all the nut butters. I usually would sway towards a banana base or an acai base, but I decided I wanted to try something new and mix up my usual routine. 

I made a Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl. Honestly, I just thought Goddess sounded groovy, but I really just made a smoothie bowl with green ingredients. 

There is no better way to mix in your greens than into a smoothie. It is an easy trick. By adding kale, spinach, and avocado, you won’t change the flavors of your smoothie, you will just be adding to the texture and consistency. Oh, and the color. 

I personally love making this thick smoothie bowl for multiple reasons. Firstly, it is not a smoothie that you put in a bowl. It has a thick consistency that creates an amazing smoothie bowl base. Secondly, you get to top it off with your favorites. You can drizzle all the peanut butter, no one is stopping you! And lastly, it is satisfying. Smoothies and fruit juices have a reputation to only last someone about an hour or two until they’re hunger strikes again. These ingredients hold all the natural carbs, sugars, and fats, that will keep you satisfied longer.

This bowl is one of my favorites. Yes, I am biased, but honestly I love a big, thick, smoothie bowl. Like I said, I am basically in a serious relationship with all smoothie bowls. It is perfect for a summer morning, lunch on the go, or in the middle of the winter when you are having those winter blues!
