When it comes to smoothie bowls -- anything I have on hand is normally what goes into it.
Frozen strawberries are one of those ingredients I always have on hand, and bananas are a pantry staple. These are two ingredients that I must always have in my smoothies/smoothie bowls. Matcha tea powder has become another pantry staple of mine and I have found that I love it most in smoothies.
These smoothie bowls combine some of my favorite ingredients -- bananas, strawberries (because duh, they are in season), matcha tea powder, acai berry juice, and flaxseed meal. Can I get a 'yay' for a healthy, wholesome (and filling) breakfast option?
The toppings though, are my favorite part of all. Granola, sunflower seeds, chia seeds and coconut flakes are always must-haves on my smoothie bowls. Throw some fresh fruit on top and it sends this smoothie bowl right over the top.
See the recipe for these delicious smoothie bowls below:
