Summer is my favorite season for eating. I love the simple meals, seasonal flavors, and outdoor grilling and eating. Don't miss the popular summer recipes for cous cous salad with grilled halloumi cheese, watermelon cocktails, or cool watermelon and cucumber salad.

Summer is in full swing and I've jumped on the smoothie bowl trend. Yes, a smoothie in a bowl requires a spoon instead of a straw. The most substantial and delicious difference are the toppings. Get creative and use many! 

I've got THREE ways for you make your own smoothie bowl. Chose from:

1. a chocolate banana açaí bowl
2. a strawberry, peanut butter, and jelly bowl
3. a tropical pink pitaya bowl

Enjoy a CHILL breakfast or snack on the next hot summer day.

Each recipe makes 2 smoothie bowls. 

How to make a smoothie bowl:

1. Toss the 'into the blender' ingredients into your blender + blend until they reach a smooth and flexible texture. 
2. Pour the smoothie into a bowl (or two). 
3. Top with many toppings.
4. Grab a spoon and enjoy!

These recipes are a rough guide, feel free to change up the ingredients and toppings to your liking.

Acai and Pitaya Plus/dragon fruit packets are becoming more popular. Find them in the freezer section  at Trader Joe's, Target, or at your local grocery store.

If there's a Trader Joe's in your area I highly recommend their chocolate covered bananas and/or strawberries for a luxurious topping! ​
