I've finally joined the smoothie bowl bandwagon. I don't know why I waited so long! They're my new favorite. Extra thick smoothie, topped with crunchy toppings and you can eat it with a spoon. Brilliant. Move over bowl of cereal, the smoothie bowl is here to stay. I recently started buying this Sambazon Acai Berry Juice from Costco. This one is reduced sugar too. Hooked. I just love acai berries. Overflowing with antioxidents and omegas. Super tasty superfood. My three favorite smoothie bowl ... read more
