Ahhh living is simple.

We adore summer.

Like one of our biggest regrets in life is not being born during summer.

We mean what can you do in November?

Beside playing the song November rain we can’t think of anything?

As for summer:

Summertime, summer in the city, summer nights….

summer summer summer.

Shut up.

Although, we can’t blame you.

Summer’s awesome.

Almost as awesome as this smoothie bowl.

Which, let’s all agree that smoothie bowls are just weird.

But they’re healthy, so let’s get over it already and count them as a legitimate breakfast for people who don’t eat much.

Or as a snack for someone like us.

So what do you think, when you look at this smoothie bowl?

Besides that it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen and that you love the person who made it? (obviously)

Like we know it’s hard, but try thinking about something else for a second, okay?

Our first thought when we saw this smoothie bowl a few weeks after taking the pictures of it was: DANDRUFF.

Yep, this healthy green smoothie bowl has dandruff.

Or is it Parmesan cheese?

Hmmm, we guess we’ll never know.

Okay, it’s coconut flakes.

Yes, this was our attempt to arrange a bowl. hahahaahahah

Stop us, little amateur.

We mean, we did well we think.

We first mixed the green smoothie ingredients using our hand blender (this makes it smoother than our blender)

Then chopped almonds and some strawberries and pour that dandruff like it’s nothing.

Sorry, “coconut flakes” (we all know it’s dandruff, silly us, we've never used head and shoulders).

We did two versions of this smoothie bowl, but they both made us feel INCREDIBLE.

Both of them are healthy, with the difference that one is less sweeter, because we mixed in half a banana instead of whole and added some walnuts. So if we had to choose which one is healthier: the winner is – 1/2 banana + walnuts.

But really, both are healthy.

Yes, those are 30 seconds you’ll never get back, sorry.

Health And Beauty Benefits

This smoothie bowl is full of antioxidants (vitamin C, E & carotenoids among others) & good fats, which means it’s a great anti-inflammatory recipe that can help you reduce chronic inflammation, if you’re like us and that’s something you want.

And, annd it’s an awesome summer recipe, because that antioxidant combination has been shown to be protective against sun damage to the skin. Sun is one of the biggest sources of oxidative stress during summer, so it’s important to eat even more of those fruits and vegetables all summer long.

This anti-inflammatory green smoothie bowl is also vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and paleo!

Okay.

So here we go.

Hope you enjoy this healthy green smoothie bowl – it made us feel healthy and like we actually have energy!
