Simple Kale Smoothie Bowl

Whether it's for you or your kids, everyone's looking for tasty ways to get their greens in. And since kale is soooo hot these days (and amazing for you, it's packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Potassium & Protein, to name a few) I've created a kale smoothie bowl that is super nutritious, but tastes like ice cream! 

The key to making an incredible smoothie bowl and getting that ice cream-like consistency is frozen bananas. Buy a bunch, peel 'em, put 'em in a baggy & throw 'em in the freezer at least the night before. Game changer!! You'll always have the perfect base to a smoothie if you have frozen 'nanas on hand. And don't forget bananas are super beneficial too! Loaded with Fiber (good morning!), Potassium, Vitamin B-6 & Magnesium! 

Now for my favorite part....Almond Butter! Yummmmm. And people, don't be afraid of almond butter! Yes, it has calories, but these calories will fuel your body! Almonds are full of Vitamin E, Fiber, Manganese, and so much more! Almonds have been shown to improve blood sugar levels, and are super beneficial to cell repair and brain health. And remember how good almond butter tastes?! I mean, come on! 

I make this smoothie bowl for my baby & me to share in the morning, but it's so good, you could eat it any time of day, even for dessert! 

Enjoy!
