Healthy Green Smoothie Bowl: Cooking With Courtney

From Feed the Soul:

The best way to get your greens in? Without tasting them! Just kidding. (Kind of.)

Smoothies and smoothie bowls are my go-to when I’m looking for some quick and tasty nutrition. You can throw in any fruits and veggies that you want, but more often than not, I’m slacking on getting my greens in. When that’s the case, this green smoothie bowl is one of my favorite ways to catch up on nourishment.

Kiwi adds a tart punch to this smoothie bowl, which is sweetened with a banana. I used kale, but you can add spinach or any other greens that you’d like. Throw it all in a blender with some liquid, pour it into a bowl and add your favorite toppings, and your breakfast, snack, dinner or whatever is served!

Your body will thank you for consuming the three fruits and veggies in this smoothie bowl. Here’s why.

Kale: Big in vitamins B, C, E and K, plus kale offers calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium.

Kiwi: Considered to be one of the most nutrient-dense fruits. It’s such a good source of vitamin C. In fact, a half-cup serving of kiwi will get you 140% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

Banana: More potassium! Also vitamins B-6 and C, plus fiber.

These ingredients are available year-round in the supermarket, but kale and kiwi are plentiful in colder months.
