Admit it… Smoothies and smoothie bowls flood our Instagram feeds every day, all day. We see these beautifully decorated bowls, and now people on Instagram are now making gorgeous layered smoothies, with different colors and flavors stacked in an ultra satisfying way. These are the supermodels of smoothies! This is a trend I’m loving and had to take my stab at it. The first few times were hard. But, it’s gotten easier and easier each time I make them. I’m putting together a vblog on exactly how to make them. Until then, here’s one recipe I’m loving!
