The ‘I’m Time Poor’ Green Smoothie Bowl

I often hear, and also say to myself, “I don’t even have time to scratch myself.” Between family, home commitments and work, the day is over in the blink of an eye. That is why it’s often easy to get stuck in the cycle of eating what’s around vs eating healthy. Have you considered a smoothie bowl?

“Where I would usually whip up a blended green smoothie, for this recipe you can skip the straw and grab a spoon, this is the ultimate smoothie bowl!

The green smoothie bowl makes the perfect breakfast, lunch, or post workout snack (if you’re that way inclined)! Combining fruit and vegetables, you can customise this green smoothie bowl to your hearts content for a delicious and healthy treat, any time of day. Get out your NutriBullet blender and enjoy this treat now:

My Minimalist Tips

+ Shortlist of stores | Have a short list of ‘go-to’ shops to buy groceries. This shortens your daily/weekly errand runs, meaning less time away from doing the things you love. My go-to places to shop for groceries are Woolworths & Harris Farm Markets.

+ Use a list, keep it current | I use Trello to keep organised. It’s a FREE app, and is made purely for organising your work, life and everything in between. I started using it in 2017, and have since adopted it for my home life. Trello is where I keep my shopping list; when I’m connected to the Internet its current/live at all times so I can check things off (saving on unnecessary double-up purchases).
