Holy Moly the summer heat came in like a lion here in Cincinnati.  Geesh has it been hot!

We spent some time this weekend by the pool trying to keep cool and relaxing.  It was nice and quiet which was exactly what I and the hubby needed, just hanging and reconnecting.  Sometimes the simplest times are the best.  Like this awesome Smoothie Bowl, simple and the BEST, my new favorite breakfast.

The first time I saw a smoothie bowl, I really didn’t get it.  Don’t get me wrong, I get a smoothie, I love my smoothies, but I wasn’t sure I understood the whole bowl thing, why do I need to eat it in a bowl?

That is until I had one.  They are thick, way too thick to drink.  You know what I mean, we have all gotten that milkshake that we can’t wait to enjoy and we try to slurp it up through our straw and…. nothing.  It is just way to thick to use with a straw, so we grab a spoon and spoon away.

That is how I would describe a  smoothie bowl.  Spoon-worthy!  Smoothie bowls are as delicious and nutritious {if not more} as our smoothie, but adding in those oats and chia seeds makes it too thick to drink.

I loved the combination of oats, chia seeds, and fresh berries.  Topping it off with pumpkin seeds gives you a nutty flavor that was truly delicious!  You could really enjoy this as a dessert it was so perfectly sweet, cool and delicious.

    You hit the nail on the head about why I have yet to try a smoothie bowl. I mean sure, they look great, but…why!? You’ve convinced me to give one a try though..this looks seriously fantastic. And it’s hot as all get-out here in NW Indiana, too (ick).

    Haha, I’ve had the “I don’t get the point of smoothie bowls!” conversation with so many haters lately trying to convince them to just do it and they’ll see the light. The bowl is clutch because the toppings are the best part and you can’t drink those through a straw! Loving this combination and especially that color!
