The smoothie bowl has humble origins. It is thought to have been invented in the 1960s by surfers in California. Surfers needed a quick and easy way to get their nutrients before hitting the waves. They started blending fruits, vegetables, and yogurt together and eating them out of bowls. The smoothie bowl quickly became popular with surfers and other beachgoers. In the 1970s, smoothie bowls made their way to health food stores and restaurants. Today, smoothie bowls are a popular breakfast and lunch option all over the world. There are endless variations on the smoothie bowl. You can use any combination of fruits, vegetables, and liquids. You can also add protein powder, nuts, seeds, or other toppings. Smoothie bowls are a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They are also a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins.
