Smoothie bowls away! This green smoothie bowl is a delicious blend of juicy berries, spinach, chia seeds, oats, protein power and a dash of Matcha green tea, wheatgrass and spirulina. You have fresh verdant spinach mingled with sweet earthy blackberries, tart, sweet raspberries and tangy apple and lime juice. The chia seeds, oats and protein powder make this bowl smoothie bowl creamy without the need for dairy.

I have also added some fragrant and uplifting fresh mint, which is not only delicious (complimenting the sweet berries), but is a superb source of vitamin A (so great for your eyes), soothes tummy problems and may help improve cognition.

This smoothie bowl is full of antioxidants, fibre, and protein and has a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids. I love this smoothie bowl for breakfast to help energise me (I wake up slowly!), but also to re-fuel after a good work or when I am flagging.

By using gluten-free oats, this recipe is suitable for coeliacs and by using plant-based milk, this smoothie bowl is suitable for vegans.
