5 smoothie bowl recipes you need to try this week
When it comes to breakfast, we can often get bored of having the same combination of cereal and toast on rotation every week. We want some variety in our mornings that will fill us up so we can kick-start our day.
If you’re anything like us, the main issue is, most days we don’t have much time to be baking home-made waffles or cooking eggs before we rush out the door, so we need something delicious, nutritious and quick to prepare.
Luckily enough, we’ve mastered the art of the smoothie bowl and we are obsessed with them at the moment.
Not only are smoothie bowls super easy to make, but they are jam-packed with fruit and fibre so not only do you get to enjoy a yummy breakfast, but a healthy one too!
