I have the BIGGEST crush on smoothie bowls right now! I love smoothies, but there is something about eating breakfast (versus drinking it) that is so much more satisfying. I confess, I just got on this smoothie bowl train. I didn’t really understand the obsession… until I tried it. Now my head is bursting with smoothie…
