Smoothie Bowls with a Scoop of Ice Cream

Smoothie bowls are an excellent way to balance health and enjoyment. Begin with a base of your favorite smoothie ingredients—spinach, berries, bananas, and almond milk. Once combined, transfer the smoothie to a bowl and top with a tiny scoop of your favorite ice cream. If you're following your diet, choose a dairy-free or low-sugar option. For added texture and nutrients, combine granola, fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds.
