    In the last few weeks I fell in love with smoothie bowls! I am not sure what took me so long to get to this place, but now I am a dedicated convert.

    For the last 2 years, I’ve been drinking green smoothies on and off. For most of this time, it was for lunch or snack time.

    Once I went through 4 months of morning sickness while being pregnant with Olivia, I was ruined for smoothie breakfasts.

    I’ve always had occasional issues with too smooth textures, but since that miserable time I just can’t handle them anymore first thing in the morning.

    Until now! Now that I have finally discovered smoothie bowls for myself, all my texture issues are resolved.

    Since I can spoon my smoothie right from a bowl, there are all kinds of toppings I can add, that provide plenty of texture contrasts. My favorite is homemade granola. I really have a thing for crunchy.

    Smoothie bowls also solve another my dilemmas.

    I love to have berries, but when added to a green smoothie they make for a very unappetizing brown-greyish color. Personally, I’ve become accustomed to ugly colored smoothies, but I still feel like I need to make excuses if someone sees me sipping on one 😉

    Now, I don’t blend up my berries into the green smoothie. But instead I use them whole as a topping on a bright green smoothie bowl.

    That’s where tropical made it into the name of this recipe. For the smoothie part I mainly blend yellow fruit like mango, pineapple and banana, together with coconut milk or water and spinach.

    If you are shopping around for the best blender for smoothies, make sure you first read my post to learn what to look for to find the best smoothie blender for you. It includes a detailed review of my 6 favorite blenders.
