Smoothie bowls are definitely trending now. And they aren’t hard to make, so why not make your own? I subscribe to Dr. Lipman’s newsletter. He’s an integrative, functional medicine MD in NY, and he recently sent out a recipe for a delicious smoothie bowl that I made the other day. It is so good that I’ve decided I need to share the recipe.

I found this to be really filling, so I made a take-to-work version for my leftovers.

Power Punch Smoothie Bowl Recipe

This is modified from his version, but you can also modify this yourself. Note that you need to start soaking the chia seeds in your choice of milk the night before, or at least a few hours.
