If you’re a sweet-over-savory breakfast person (hand-raised), but still want to eat some veggies in the morning, smoothie bowls will be your thing. They’re sweet but full of sneaky produce; this matcha mint chocolate chip smoothie bowl has baby spinach, frozen cauliflower (…don’t worry you can’t taste it), avocado, and banana. Not to mention the energizing superfood, matcha, one of nature’s richest sources of the rare antioxidant EGCG. Enjoy!
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, I thought I’d round up some of our greenest recipes this year (greens first, booze later ✌🏼). Just click the links below the image to get the recipes. And here’s the cool thing about leafy greens; they’re (usually) interchangeable in salads and smoothies so experiment to find the ones you like best.
