I go on breakfast kicks all the time. Right now I’m on a Raisin Bran kick. I know, so boring! But gimme a break, we just started the back-to-school routine so I’m sticking to the basics. I stumble out of bed, get dressed, head downstairs and start the coffee. I pour myself a bowl of Raisin Bran and milk and grab my water and laptop and sit down to work.

Work work work until it’s time to wake the kids up. Which I delay until the last possible moment. C’mon, I know you do it too! Those early moments of quiet are so important for my sanity before the chaos of the day starts. I love the chaos but ooooh I also love that early morning quiet. Just me and my coffee.

HOT COFFEE! It’s actually HOT when I drink it, you guys! It’s an amazing thing.

Once I get out of the Raisin Bran rut, it’s going to be smoothie bowls. I’m a sucker for anything with toppings. Chili, salads, baked potatoes, and smoothie bowls. The toppings are so fun! Pile on whatever your heart desires. Or whatever you have in the fridge. It’s the best because it adds a ton of variety, even if you’re not really eating anything brand new.

Fruit crisps are my favorite dessert so I modeled this smoothie bowl after blueberry apple crisp. I added cinnamon to the smoothie bowl (along with apples, blueberries, and Greek yogurt). As for toppings – I wanted it to really seem like a crisp. I added oats (sweetened with a bit of maple syrup) and pecans.

I think this is the start of a beautiful relationship between me and smoothie bowls.

    Tasted great, but looked more green than the pretty purple in your photo.

      Could it be that you used more spinach than directed? That would make it more green.

    Good recipe overall. But there was no liquid there-fore the smoothie was very thick. I added about 1 1/2 cups of milk to thin it out.

      Hi Kenzidy,
      It is very thick because it’s a smoothie bowl that’s meant to be eaten with a spoon (imagine healthy ice cream!), not through a straw. You definitely need to add liquid if you want to make it drinkable.
