Wake up Your Breakfast with a Smoothie Bowl

If you like to shake things up in the New Year, breakfast is a great place to start. And Mum was right, breaky probably is the most important meal of the day, so why not make it a meal to remember? 

Hello, Smoothie Bowl
The new kid on the breakfast block is a smoothie bowl - a cool, nutritious combo of fruits, seeds, nuts, proteins, good fats, some complex carbohydrates.... (even veggies, shhh!)... blended and served in a pretty bowl or jar to make a very decadent and dessert-looking way to start the day.

Often based on frozen fruit and/or vege, a smoothie bowl is perfect for hot summer days too. Plus, get the balance of ingredients just right, and a single smoothie bowl can fuel you for hours, boost nutrition and help replace those sugary packet breakfasts many of default to.

How to Create a Super Smoothie Bowl
Creating a smoothie bowl is simple, but it does require a little bit of method and some forward planning. Once you get the hang of it though, we reckon soggy cereals will be a thing of the past!

Add nutritional value with greek yoghurt, raw nuts/ seeds, nut butter avocado, rolled oats or cooked quinoa. A tablespoon of any 1-3 of these should do the trick.
