It’s already summer and the heat has been too much since this season started! What better way to cool down than to have a healthy smoothie? However, instead of a drink, we suggest you try making smoothie bowls as a snack! It’s as refreshing as the drink version but more packed to keep you full longer. Not to mention, it’s super healthy, too, and totally customizable according to your liking and colors that you want to put together. Here is a sample recipe for a smoothie bowl you can try.
