Berry Green Smoothie Bowl with Pears

Kale packs a ton of nutrition, but if green smoothies aren't your thing, try this Berry Green Smoothie Bowl with Pears. It's a blend of strawberries, pears, yogurt and kale, topped with pears, strawberries and blueberries.

I am obsessed with smoothie bowls right now. They are a really great way to get several servings of fruits and vegetables in one sitting – and it tastes great. Did you know kale is a heart healthy vegetable? With tons of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and B6, there's no denying that it's a super food. The pears and strawberries add a bit of sweetness to the kale smoothie mixture.  The banana and yogurt give the green smoothie bowl a nice creamy texture.

The crisp pears, and sweet fresh strawberries and blueberries make this green smoothie bowl so very appealing.  One of the things I really love about smoothie bowls, is that you can customize it to your tastes. Swap out the blueberries for blackberries or raspberries if you prefer. For a crunchy element, add nuts or toasted coconut. The options are really endless.

Berry Green Smoothie Bowl with Pears

Here's what you need to make a Berry Green Smoothie Bowl with Pears:

• 1 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1 large banana
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled
• 2 cups kale
• 1/2 a large pear, peeled
• 1 tablespoon almond milk
• Toppings: blueberries, chopped strawberries, 1/2 pear, sliced.

Combine the yogurt, banana, strawberries, kale, pear and almond milk in a blender and process until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and top with pear slices, fresh blueberries and chopped strawberries.

Serve immediately.

For an on-the-go option, pour the green smoothie mixture into a small mason jar and secure the lid tightly. Add your toppings to a separate airtight container. When you're ready to eat, shake up the jar to make sure the smoothie mixture is well combined (it will settle a bit). Add your toppings and you're ready to enjoy your green smoothie bowl.  It's an easy healthy snack!
