This Blueberry Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl is the perfect way to start your day or refuel after a workout. It's packed with protein, fiber, and antioxidants, and it's delicious and refreshing too.
I've always been a fan of smoothies, but I find that they can sometimes be too thin and watery. I wanted to create a smoothie bowl that was thick and creamy, but still light and refreshing. After a few experiments, I came up with this recipe and I've been loving it ever since.
