Smoothie bowls are delicious and nutritious meals that have recently gained popularity. They are essentially thick smoothies that are served in a bowl and topped with a variety of toppings. Smoothie bowls are typically made with a base of frozen fruits, such as bananas or berries, and milk (skim or plant-based.)

You'll need a blender or a food processor to make a smoothie bowl. Here's a basic recipe for 2 to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1-2 frozen bananas

• 1 cup of frozen berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, or a mix)

• 1/2 cup of liquid (oat milk or skim milk)

• Toppings of your choice (chia seeds, sliced fruits, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Place the frozen bananas, frozen berries, and liquid in a blender or food processor.
