Recipe: Tropical Detox Smoothie Bowl
Nothing beats a delicious, thirst-quenching smoothie in the middle of summer—especially when it’s a creamy smoothie bowl with lots of toppings!
Unfortunately, most smoothies sold in markets or fast-food chains are made with fruit juices, which are essentially just processed fruit mixed with sugar and preservatives. With our Tropical Detox Smoothie recipe, there’s no need to ignore that smoothie craving because its nutrient-packed, healthy ingredients will satisfy it!
The tropical ingredients will leave your tummy smiling since the pineapple is full of bromelain, which helps with tissue inflammation, and the lemon contains alkaline, which may help prevent heartburn and stomach indigestion.
To make a smoothie into a “ bowl,” the key is thickness. So before you add extra almond milk, give it a chance to blend up! I love pouring it into a bowl because it feels like I’m eating something hearty.
And, of course, toppings make it interesting, so get creative and have fun! Go ahead, plunge that spoon into your tropical, protein-packed smoothie bowl and smile away, knowing you treated your body right.
