Supergreens smoothie bowl
Packed with green power, this smoothie will get you firing on all cylinders. Green superfoods powder is a combination of spirulina, chlorella and wheatgrass — available from health food stores and some supermarkets. Other superfoods powders will work well in this recipe too. Try maca, acai, mesquite or protein powder.
