Unlike smoothies, every time I make a smoothie bowl, I feel like I'm eating a meal. Most of these ingredients I typically use in my favorite breakfast smoothies, but the consistency here is a little thicker so you can eat it with a spoon. The fact that I eat it with a spoon makes me feel nicely full. Smoothie bowls aren't new to anyone, but I felt like they needed some revived love. And to be honest, I don't make them as often as I'd like either. This smoothie bowl only takes a few minutes to make and is perfect for a healthy or fancy breakfast. I also recently posted about the benefits of matcha green tea powder. So I decided to add this to the smoothie bowl which makes it the perfect pick
