Tropical Green Smoothie Bowls

~Raw~Vegan~


Green smoothies are a great and simple way to eat your greens. They are provide a great source of natural energy, boost the immune system and provide a wide spectrum of nutrients.
Leafy greens are packed with phytonutrients, protein, vitamins, antioxidants and more. Kale has more iron per calorie than beef and is higher in fibre with zero fat. It is high in Vitamin K which aids in protection against various cancers and blood clots, filled with antioxidants such as carotenoids and flavonoids and is also high in calcium. Kale is also great for your vision, skin, immune system and metabolism due to it's high content of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. 

Serves 2

4-6 stalks of kale, leaves removed from stem and washed
2 frozen bananas
2 serves natural protein powder- we used sun warrior raw vegan brown rice protien
3/4 cup frozen mango
1/4-1/2 cup coconut water- depending on the desired thickness of the smoothie
Toppings-We used shredded coconut, mango, goji berries and edible flowers

In a blender or food processor (we used a ninja), blend frozen bananas, mango and kale until well broken down and combine. 

Add the coconut water slowly while blending until the mixture reaches a smooth ice-cream-like consistency. By adding extra coconut water you can alter the consistency of your smoothie to be more runny if preferred. 
Add the protein powder.

Remove from blender and distribute evenly between to bowls. 

Top with desired ingredients and enjoy.
