Green Protein Smoothie Bowl (freezer prep favorite)
This smoothie bowl is the perfect healthy breakfast or afternoon pick me up. With loads of vitamins and minerals from fresh fruits and avocado and a boost of protein from protein powder, this bowl is healthy, delicious and totally satisfying.
Smoothie bowls are all the rage for good reason. You can mix and match fruits in the base just be sure to use frozen fruit to make sure it’s the right thickness and consistency. The toppings are my favorite part because you can take one base and add different toppings to make it completely different than the day before.
If you’re on the go and wanting a straw and not a spoon try my Green Protein Smoothie and Tropical Cottage Cheese Smoothie, both delicious, filling and nutritious.

How to make this healthy smoothie bowl recipe (a step-by-step visual guide):
Step 1: prep ingredients the day before
Place 1 kiwi, ¼ avocado, ¼ cucumber, 1 handful of spinach and 2 Tbsp parsley in each freezer safe ziplock or reusable bag. Freeze at least overnight for the best results. This helps give you a deliciously cold smoothie bowl vs. room temp.
Step 2: blend
When ready to enjoy your smoothie, add the contents of the frozen ingredients (image 1) to the blender (image 2) and add the lime juice, pineapple juice, water and protein powder of choice (image 3). Blend until smooth and no chunks remain (image 4). If your smoothie bowl is too thick just add more water until it’s your desired thickness.
Step 3: build your bowl
Top with your favorite delicious toppings, like chopped kiwis, blueberries, granola, banana chia seeds, peanut butter, coconut flakes, honey, etc. Everything goes!
