BRIGHT & COLORFUL
RAINBOW SMOOTHIE BOWL

Big colorful smoothie bowls filled with fresh fruit and beneficial superfoods will ALWAYS be my weakness!

Not only do they taste like sorbet, they can be absolutely beautiful and it’s so easy to customize your own bowl with whatever favorite toppings you may have! This rainbow smoothie bowl contains two smoothie flavors in one!

The blue smoothie side is given its spectacular color by blue spirulina, one of my favorite superfoods, that is a great source of plant-based protein, can help to boost energy, promotes healthy bacteria in the gut and is said to help to remove toxins such as traces of heavy metals from our bodies by being able to bind with them!

The pink smoothie side of this bowl, however, is also filled with some of my favorite fruits as well as pink pitaya powder! Pink pitaya, also known as dragonfruit, is high in antioxidants, vitamin C, Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids and more!

recommended equipment

– A high speed blender like this one.
