Summer Smoothie Bowls: Refreshing and Nutritious Treats to Beat the Heat

Smoothies seem to be all the rage in the health and wellness field, and with good reason! They are

• packed with healthy, delicious and nutritious ingredients,

• easy to eat on the go, and

• make a great breakfast or snack!

Personally, I enjoy a smoothie every now and then, but I much prefer to eat my food (rather than drink it), so when I was introduced to smoothie bowls, I was sold!

I love the fact that you get the smoothie portion but can add all of the yummy toppings and eat it with a spoon. It's like a fancy, healthy ice cream sundae!

With summer around the corner, I wanted to share a few smoothie bowl recipes that will help you stay cool, hydrated and nourished during the heat waves we'll be experiencing.
