5 Superfood Smoothie Bowls to Kickstart Your Morning
Homemade smoothie bowls pack a ton of nutrients and make a great addition to your morning. Aside from being fun to prepare and looking like an Instagram-worthy work of art, they are loaded with fresh fruit and lots of fiber!
What’s great about the F45 Challenge-approved bowls below is that they incorporate a boost of protein, which is ideal for those who are plant-based or simply want to increase their protein intake. Preparing your own smoothie bowl takes less than five minutes and is a significantly healthier option than store-bought versions, which often contain a lot of added sugar. F45 smoothie bowls keep it simple by using nature’s sweetener (fresh fruit), quality protein (F45 Fuel), and lots of healthy fats (nuts and seeds).
