Why You Will Love This Kiwi Smoothie Bowl
This easy banana and kiwi smoothie served in a bowl, is not just delicious, but it’s also very nutritious too.
I personally love this smoothie bowl, because it allows me to use leftover kiwi fruit and throw in other ingredients I typically have in my house.
But, other benefits of this kiwi smoothie bowl include:
- It’s Energizing: The natural sugars in bananas and kiwis provide a quick energy boost, perfect for starting the day.
- Provides Hydration: Coconut water is a natural hydrator, rich in electrolytes, making this smoothie ideal for rehydration, especially after physical activity.
- Offers Digestive Aid: The chia seeds in the smoothie are high in fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting bowel regularity.
- Rich in Antioxidants: Kiwi and bananas are loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, supporting the body’s defense against oxidative stress.
- Has a Refreshing Flavor: The addition of fresh mint not only adds a refreshing taste but can also soothe the stomach and enhance mental alertness.
- It’s Nutrient-Dense: This smoothie is packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin C from kiwi, potassium from bananas, and omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds.
- Supports Heart Health: The omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds, along with the potassium in bananas and kiwi, contribute to maintaining healthy heart function.
After making this smoothie bowl, you have to also try my kiwi celery and ginger smoothie, as well as my berry and kiwi smoothie!
