Tropical Island Smoothie Bowl

Preparing myself for any rainy/slightly dreary days on the radar here in Pennsylvania by brightening up my breakfast with this delicious Tropical Smoothie Bowl! 🙂 I LOVE smoothies and smoothie bowls, but definitely don’t get the chance to make and enjoy them as often as I would like. This mixture is super easy to make and has a perfect balance of fruit flavors and creaminess. Organic strawberries from Taproot Farm were the highlight of this bowl – they are so incredibly sweet and delicious! So if you need a cheerful pick-me-up, something to cool down on a hot day, or just looking to try something new for breakfast, this recipe is for you! Enjoy! 🙂
