Hey guys! It’s less than a month before Christmas!!! Time for festive everything, including this eggnog smoothie bowl!!
So…I had never actually tried a smoothie bowl before today because, well I am not a huge fan of smoothies (blasphemy I know). It just seemed like lot of effort for something I don’t really love to be honest.
Well, it’s hard for me to admit, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I think the addition of nuts and fruit breaks up the thick mouth-coating texture of the smoothie. It somehow makes eating liquid spinach on an empty stomach palatable!! Plus it took all of 5 minutes to make, so I grossly overestimated the effort involved.
This green eggnog smoothie bowl is super #instaworthy and tastes super good, plus it’s actually healthy!!! 😍 I’m a smoothie bowl convert.
Ps. I used light eggnog but regular would taste just fine if you can’t find light. Make this vegan by using coconut yogurt and almond nog…bet it would be delicious.
