For this smoothie bowl, I basically just threw everything green in my apartment (besides my clothes) into a blender. I’m happy to say that it worked out.

Unlike most of the bowls I’ve been making this lately, this one is vegan. I added light coconut milk and used half an avocado make it smooth and creamy.

I also added half a pack of moringa. I didn’t really taste it, but I noticed a weird, tingling sensation on my tongue as I was eating the smoothie this morning. I’m probably freaking you out at this point, but don’t worry: I think I’m just slightly allergic to certain fruits. I had a similar thing happen once with a persimmon.

Anyway. I really enjoyed the flavors and textures in this bowl. The strawberries add some sweetness and the coconut gives it a little crunch.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all morning. It’s great for motivation, whether you’re running down the sidewalk late to work, trying to get through morning deadline or working up the courage to make a bold move.
