Have you been swept away or even tempted to try these vibrant bowls of nutritious ingredients, blended to a puree and garnished with pretty toppings? I have been watching and researching them for quite some time and thought i had better give them a go.  I haven’t been disappointed as they can be a light refreshing and nutritious start to your day. However i do believe if you are going to make smoothie bowls you need to use good quality ingredients that actually do benefit you and your well being.

I have included four varieties that are a good starting point and of course you can mix and match flavours, textures and toppings to suit your tastes.
