How to Make a Key Lime Smoothie Bowl with Avocados

Delicious & Healthy Key Lime Smoothie Bowl with Avocados 

My husband and I love making healthy smoothie bowls and enjoy them often. We have found it's an easy way to replace unhealthy refined sugar and processed snacks or cereals. We eat these smoothie bowls after a workout, for breakfast, or even as an afternoon snack.

After making our own smoothie bowls for a few years now, we  think it's an easy way to create a healthy option filled with nutritionally dense super-foods! Not only are we able to reduce the harmful effects sugar has on the body but we're also now adding beneficial and essential nutrients needed for healthy body functions.

This delicious Key Lime Smoothie Bowl offers high quality fats, amino acids, and even creaminess from the avocado but all you will taste is the zesty, citrus flavor by adding Lime Vitality. You could even add more greens to this recipe if you desire by adding a little spinach.

Try swapping out ice cream or morning cereal with this delicious recipe. Trust me the whole family will enjoy!

Learn about nutrition and the relationship between food & the body:

My husband and I have truly found it empowering to learn about the latest science on nutrition. There are several books that will lead you to the education needed to start removing harmful foods and ingredients from your diet while helping you begin the journey of adding foods and  ingredients into your diet that benefit your health and wellness.

I have complied a list of books we found helpful over the last few years on my resources page.  Here are three books that have given us information on fasting, inflammation, and what and when we should be eating with longevity in mind. 
​

• Food: What the Heck Should I Eat by Mark Hyman
• Metabolic Autophagy: Practice Intermittent Fasting and Resistance Training to Build Muscle and Promote Longevity (Metabolic Autophagy Diet Book 1) by Siimm Land 
• The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting by ​Jimmy Moore (Author, Narrator), Dr. Jason Fung (Author), Victory Belt Publishing (Publisher)
