Time to get creative with your go-to smoothie bowl! Well, at least that's what I need to do.  

I find myself making the exact same green smoothie each day - coconut water, banana, pineapple, spinach and chia seeds. Usually I don't even think about making a new flavor combination until I'm out of one of my usual ingredients. Which this week was pineapple.  

But, running out of an ingredient is sometimes a great thing! Because it forces you to substitute with something new or try a different combination. Smoothie boredom, no more! 

I added a handful of parsley to this smoothie because lately our plant is growing out of control. But, I imagine basil would also work beautifully with the blueberries!  

Blueberry & Parsley Smoothie Bowl  

(makes 1 smoothie bowl) 

• 1 banana

• 1/2 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh

• 1 1/4 cup coconut water

• Juice from 1/2 lemon

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

• 1 handful fresh parsley

• 1 big handful spinach

• Toppings: blueberries, chia seeds, unsweetened coconut and/or bee pollen

Directions:  

1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth - about one minute - depending on the strength of your blender.

2. Pour into a bowl and top with your choice of toppings. Enjoy with a spoon!

No, I don't think fresh smoothie bowls will ever get old...
