Plus, you can incorporate a rainbow of nutritious ingredients into every spoonful. And this Hibiscus-Berry Smoothie Bowl is the perfect example.
Featuring a blend of nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich fruits plus the tart and tropical flavor of hibiscus, this Hibiscus-Berry Smoothie Bowl is everything you need to start your day. And as an added bonus, there’s no cooking required. For an extra dose of good-for-you nutrients, we’ve added flax seeds and chia seeds – two tiny but mighty seed varieties that can offer a whole lot of fiber – into the mix.
When you’re making this smoothie bowl, here’s a tip: Don’t skip the frozen banana. Keeping it in the mix lends creaminess and balances the tartness of the hibiscus petals and berry blend.
