Lately, you might've seen folks post pretty pictures of smoothie bowls all over Instagram and Pinterest or maybe a new shop opened up in your town. I have to say, I'm loving this trend! A smoothie bowl shop recently opened up in small town and every time I drive by, the place is packed! Smoothie bowls make the perfect healthy breakfast, lunch, or snack. Typically, smoothie bowls are colorful and fresh filled with granola, your favorite smoothie, fresh fruit, and garnished with a crunchy topping like nuts or seeds (hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds).
