Description

Nicole Gaffney, Food Network Star alum and founder of the smoothie shop Soulberri, shares her secrets to creating the perfect smoothie bowl. Thicker than a typical smoothie and topped with fun add-ons, these bowls are an exciting, unique addition to any breakfast rotation. Readers will learn how to achieve the irresistible sorbet-like texture that made Soulberri so popular. Many of the bowls are vegan, raw and gluten-free. Quick to whip up and swirled with colorful fruit and vegetable blends, these bowls look as good as they taste; social media fans will love snapping and sharing photos before digging in. This book is full of recipes to wake up the senses: from the sweet and tangy Classic Acai Bowl, to the exotic and spicy Jalapeno Honeydew Mint Bowl, there's something for every palate. Packed with vitamins and superfood ingredients, these recipes aren't just for breakfast. The Peanut Butter Protein Bowl is great workout fuel and the Tahini Berry Beet Bowl is a flavorful pick-me-up. Readers in search of healthy desserts will be tempted by the Salted Caramel Apple Pie Bowl. Add-ons like Cacao Almond Granola and Homemade Nutella make it easy to mix and match. Nicole includes tips on making nut milks and freezing produce to boost convenience. Smoothie bowls are more than a health-food trend; they're a nourishing, versatile treat anyone can enjoy at home. This book will have 75 recipes and 75 photos.
