A Sunshine Kiwi Smoothie Bowl, can brighten up any day. The light and refreshing smoothie bowl is packed full of kiwis, blueberries, peaches, chia seeds and coconut chips. This recipe is great because it is not just healthy, but vegan and gluten free!
Do you ever have those days where you really have nothing left in the house, but a bunch of stuff in your freezer and a few pieces of fresh fruit? Those days have been plentiful for me because I’ve been super busy with work and getting everything planned for vacation. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Even though I’m lacking a bunch of fresh ingredients I don’t let it stop me from making healthy creations.
A smoothie bowl is the best choice when you are short on ingredients and time. In under fifteen minutes, you have a healthy snack packed with vitamins and protein.
I honestly can’t believe we are going to the west coast in less than a month!! It doesn’t even seem real yet. I haven’t been freaking out…not just yet. We’ve really been enjoying the planning process (wine & searching through amazing Airbnb’s), but we realized that we should have booked our lodgings a few months ago. A lot of the places we really wanted to stay at are all booked up but we are making the best of it! We’ve even thrown in one night in Vegas 🙂

Kiwi Benefits
If you thought that lemons and oranges were the highest sources of Vitamin C, think again! According to the nutritional break-up of kiwi fruit, per 100 grams contain 154 percentage of Vitamin C, which is almost twice that of lemons and oranges. This exotic fruit is also loaded with dietary fiber, which helps make you feel full longer, and staves off cravings.
