    Smoothie Bowl

    Did you have breakfast this morning? I hope the answer is yes because you know how I feel about the most important meal of the day! 😉 Back at the beginning of the year (how is it June already?!?), I took on the challenge of varying up my breakfast routine. All the "expremient" really did was reaffirm my creature of habit nature. I ended up going from eating steel cut oats + fruits + nuts to eggs + avocados + toast every day.

    So you can see, I go through phases when it comes to breakfast. Now that the weather is consistently in the 80s or above, I just went through my obsession with overnight oats and am starting to get into smoothie bowls again...

      Min this is so beautiful!! So... true confession. I only recently started digging smoothies. I AM a texture gal and have for so long just not really wanted to "drink" my calories (unless of course it was a glass of Cab 🙂 But I love how easy smoothies make getting veggies + protein, so I'm thinking this must be my next step!

        Thank you, Regan! I know exactly what you mean. I HATE drinking my calories (unless of course it was a glass of wine haha). I drink a smoothie after a good workout, but I definetely find these smoothie bowls more exciting and satisfying 😉

      Mmmm, this looks so nourishing, Min! I've yet to try a smoothie bowl, but really, I want to. They look soooo good and filling. This is a perfect way for me to do what my Dr. has asked me to do; slow down when you eat.. take your time. So instead of slurping down my smoothie, I neeeed to get into the habit of spooning in my mouth! That berry licious smoothie bowl looks fabulous! Delicious, Min... Thank you!

        Thanks, Traci! I, too, am a fast eater and have to consciously remind myself to slow down and chew my food throughly. Can't wait for you to try these smoothie bowls ;).

      Eating my breakfast as I type 🙂 Cream of Wheat (trying to purge the cabinets!!) with mashed banana and cashew butter.

      I love using my spoon to eat up thick smoothies - otherwise I end up chugging them too fast!

      My husband and son make a smoothie every AM for breakfast. I sent your post his way to see if he'd switch up his routine to smoothie bowls... same goodness but we'll get our little guy to work on his spoon handling 😉

      Gorgeous pictures, as always 🙂 Im a fan of my classic strawberry banana smoothie bowl with spirulina (https://avocadoadaynutrition.com/2014/02/strawberry-banana-green-smoothie-bowl/). It's the ugliest shade of green, but so yummy!

      I love smoothie bowls! Strawberry is always a delish combo and I love topping with nutty and crunchy toppings like a little nut butter, maybe granola, and extra frozen fruit...now I've got smoothies on the brain!!

      I tend to get stuck in breakfast routines too. I really need to diverge from my english muffin with almond butter. I've never tried a smoothie bowl but I think it's time to try yours!
