This Blueberry “Green” Smoothie Bowl is a delicious berry and kale smoothie recipe you can eat with a spoon!
I will be the first to admit that I was a bit skeptical of smoothie bowls when I first starting seeing them on my Instagram feed. I mean, why would you want to eat a smoothie with a spoon? Sounds like it just requires more work.
UNTIL I tried this Blueberry “Green” Smoothie Bowl recipe. Now, I must say that I’m hooked. Being able to add your own customizable toppings to a smoothie turns it into more of a filling meal. Plus, if I eat something with a spoon it seems to trick my mind into thinking it’s a complete meal rather than just a snack or a drink to go along with a meal.
I used my favorite berry kale smoothie recipe to make this Blueberry “Green” Smoothie Bowl, but you can use virtually any smoothie recipe you’d like. Although this is a “green” smoothie, it’s not actually green in color because the berries cover up the color of the kale.
I always blend my kale with water first because it does a better job of really blending the leaves into tiny pieces, so I don’t even taste them!
Once you’ve got your smoothie blended and in a bowl, get down with your bad self on the TOPPINGS. I love keeping it simple with chia seeds, flax seed, nuts and coconut … but this would also be great with the addition of granola, sliced banana, or any fresh fruit.
So yes, the idea of eating a smoothie with a spoon may seem silly to you. But I suggest you give this Blueberry “Green” Smoothie Bowl recipe a try. You may just warm up to the idea like I have.
