How to build a smoothiebowl

#smoothiebowls is so LA.

i remember living in Norway and watching the trend slowly spread on social media. I have actually not made one myself, until now- and i'm addicted. it´s such a easy superfood breakfast to make. i love smoothies too, but i prefer eating, instead of drinking especially for breakfast- and I love the crunch on top of a smoothie bowl, it is like the name says - a smoothie in a bowl. But the texture is much more thicker and can be chunky- so hold back on the liquid when making this.

You can top it with whatever you prefer!

| How to mix your own smoothie bowl |

it´s very simple to make your own smoothie bowl, just be creative and follow some few guidelines. I have made a list were you can choose ingredients from each category. Start with the liquid first in a high speed blender. Add the rest of the ingredients. Set the blender on low  speed. Make it chunky or smooth.  Then serve, with toppings...!
