Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl

Summer is just around the corner! In the colder months (the Bostonian in me is rolling her eyes...since when does 50 degree weather constitute as “cold?”), I wake up craving a big bowl of warm, hearty oatmeal. As the weather gets warmer, I find myself trading in my oats for a smoothie bowl, loaded with all the toppings! I especially love cooling down with one after a warm run or an afternoon at the beach. The options are endless when it comes to flavor combinations, but strawberry banana is always a winner in my book! If I’m pressed for time and rushing to get out of the house, I’ll pour the smoothie mixture into a cup, sprinkle on some granola and berries, and take it go!
