What a great idea! Smoothies are a huge food trend, especially for those trying to eat healthy, but for those who don’t always like to drink their breakfast or snack, there is a way to eat it with a spoon. Beautiful Smoothie Bowls: 80 Delicious and Colorful Superfood Recipes to Nourish and Satisfy will give everyone great ideas for elevating their smoothies to a higher realm. Bonham’s smoothie bowls are absolutely beautiful, and are perfect to serve to company as a summer dessert, or for a fruit and/or vegetable filled breakfast or snack. The smoothie bowls use healthy, flavorful ingredients, to help give everyone a nutritional boost without having to suffer so-called “eat-it-anyway-it’s-good-for-you” abuse.

Some of us think that smoothies are mostly for tree-huggers, and Bonham’s website, Creative Green Living, certainly has leanings toward that trend, but these smoothie bowls are perfect for mainstream people who love good things. Some of her bowls hide healthy vegetables for those who don’t think they like them, and others showcase seasonal fruits and bring out their fresh, wonderful flavors.

Once you make a few of the smoothies, your mind will be opened to dozens of ideas depending what you happen to have in the fridge or the garden. Your imagination is the limit, and anyone who has healthy leanings will enjoy this book and the great ideas. The recipes are also kid-friendly, and the fact that the finished smoothie bowls are very beautiful and appealing will get everyone on the bandwagon.
