Description
This vegan smoothie bowl is sweet, tart and super thick. It has fun toppings that compliment the flavors of the nutritious smoothie base. The base is mainly raspberries and bananas. The raspberries offer dietary fiber and vitamin C. And the bananas are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6 and fiber. They are also high in potassium. This smoothie bowl is quick and easy to make and makes for a playful presentation for adults or kids!

*If you need to use more milk to get the blender going try adding only a little bit at a time. If you use too much the smoothie bowl will lose its creaminess and thickness.
