Superfood Green Smoothie Bowl with Spinach, Banana and Nut Butter
This superfood smoothie bowl is a great way to start your day. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it's delicious too.
The idea for this recipe came to me one morning when I was trying to find a quick and healthy way to get my daily dose of fruits and vegetables. I had a bunch of frozen spinach in my freezer, and I thought, why not throw it in a smoothie? I added some banana, almond milk, and yogurt for creaminess, and I topped it off with some chia seeds and cinnamon for a little extra flavor. The result was a delicious and nutritious smoothie bowl that I've been enjoying ever since.
