And good morning to you! Well, it sure is Monday. Here’s to getting our week started off right.
I did a lot of celebrating this weekend, from birthdays to homecomings to early Mother’s Day festivities. It was fun filled and jam packed with all my favorite food and people for sure! It was the kind of weekend that makes you feel like Monday is a good time for a little healthy restart.
I love this smoothie bowl! It packs in about 25 grams of protein (without any powders) mainly from Greek yogurt, hazelnuts, and chia seeds. I also threw some frozen peas in there because for a tiny little green veggie, they have more protein than you might think. It keeps me from feeling hungry and gives me energy to do all the things Monday’s generally require.
And that’s a good thing!

So so pretty Julie! I’ve never had a smoothie bowl and yours is definitely calling my name 🙂
Julie says
Katya, I like smoothie bowls with toppings because sometimes with just a plain smoothie I miss having some texture and something to crunch!
Audrey says
What would be a good substitute for yogurt? I don’t do dairy.
Julie says
Have you tried yogurt alternatives made from coconut milk? I have not had the chance to try them yet, but I think they would work well in this smoothie bowl. I know there are some ready made products out there, and you could also make your own if like. Hope this helps!
