Green Fruit Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies are the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast for weekdays, but when you want a slower start to your morning (maybe a day off, or a weekend), eating it in a bowl is the way to go.

This Green Smoothie Bowl starts with a base smoothie of nutrient-dense baby spinach, banana, pineapple, lime juice and orange juice, and a good dash of fresh ginger.

While this smoothie can certainly be poured into a glass and enjoyed as a drink, the bowl format is just too beautiful to resist.

A build-your-own yogurt bar is a fun and healthy addition to a brunch gathering. Customize yogurt toppings to suit different tastes, preferences and dietary restrictions.

Anybody else remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? Man, I could get DOWN with those things. Pretty sure I’d read one tomorrow if it showed up in my neighborhood’s Little Free Library.

Well, this build-your-own yogurt bar is the food equivalent of one of those books. Want all healthy yogurt toppings? Load up on fruit and lemon cardamom granola. Want more decadent toppings for yogurt? Some chocolate chunks and waffle cone bits are waiting for you.

The recipe card below includes approximate amounts for a yogurt parfait bar for 8 people, but you can set up all of these ingredients in any quantity for any number of people. Just change your serving bowl sizes accordingly.

Round out your brunch buffet with vegetarian quiche and some bacon in the oven, and you have the perfect Mother’s Day or bridal shower morning meal.
