The Peas Be Green Smoothie Bowl (Raw & Vegan)
I’m rather sentimental about this raw green smoothie bowl recipe because it’s the first smoothie bowl recipe I ever created. Who knew that blending fruits and vegetables (and nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes) could be so delicious! I pretty much became a blend-a-holic after that, combining as many different whole plant foods that my imagination would allow.
This green vegan smoothie bowl is ridiculously thick and creamy, almost like pudding. The creaminess comes from the avocado and bananas. Peas are also a naturally sweet legume. And, when combined with fruit, make the whole bowl seem more like a dessert than a healthy breakfast.
Smoothie bowls are such a quick and simple way to get loads of nutrients all in one, easy to digest, meal. And, you can customize the toppings to your heart’s content, like fresh berries and your fav granola. Once you discover the joy of creating smoothie bowls, you can easily add them to your breakfast rotation, depending on what ingredients you have on hand.
