The Evergreen Smoothie Bowl
The Evergreen Smoothie Bowl (raw vegan)
The Evergreen Smoothie Bowl
Oh, the power of green! Just thinking about all those antioxidants makes me feel healthier. One of the easiest ways to eat loads of leafy greens is by blending them into a smoothie bowl. Kale takes center stage in this raw, fruit-sweetened, veggie-packed blend.
Lacinato or dinosaur kale is a popular variety, but any type of kale will taste great. The tropical zing from the pineapple and sweetness from the apple and banana, temper any bitterness from the kale, making this detox smoothie bowl surprisingly sweet.
Green smoothie bowls are a wonderful option if you want to get a bunch of veggies in without prepping a big salad. And all that fruit makes it very breakfast-friendly. Top with your favorite granola for added texture and crunch!

Method for making The Evergreen Smoothie Bowl
Step One
1. Add the bananas, zucchini, apples, and dates to a blender container, along with the cashews, pineapple, and salt, followed by the kale leaves.
Step Two
2. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.
Step Three
3. Pour the sweet green detox mixture, which will be the consistency of thick apple sauce, into two or three bowls. Top with your favorite granola.
Enjoy as an energizing breakfast or as a refreshing snack!
