Tropical Smoothie Bowl

Have you ever been to one of the fancy smoothie bowl places? There is a place in Santa Barbara California called “Backyard Bowls” we love. It’s a real treat to go there. The combination of flavors and ingredients they come up with are delicious and keep to the focus of being nutrient dense while still making you feel you’re having a decadent treat. I’ve added Shaklee Energizing Life Shake protein to make it more of a meal.

Here is my combination for a tropical smoothie bowl. Thick enough to eat with a spoon so you can top it with crunchy yummy toppings all for about 380 calories (with toppings) and very filling.

Tropical Smoothie Bowl

1 c. coconut water

1 scoop Shaklee Engergizing Life Shake Strawberry flavor (vanilla would work too)

1/2 frozen banana

1/2 c. frozen mixed berries

1/4 c. frozen pineapple pieces

1/4 c. frozen mango chunks

1 c. fresh spinach leaves

Whirl together in a high speed blender. The consistency will be thick and frosty. Scoop into a bowl and top with unsweetened flaked coconut and granola (or whatever else sounds good to you 🙂
