Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie bowls are easy and healthy way to start your morning or ease you into your afternoon. Adding a scoop of protein makes this bowl even more wholesome. These make a wonderful breakfast that you can top with cereal if you wish. Other lovely additions to this bowl would be nut butter, raw nuts, hemp seeds, coconut flakes, or dehydrated fruit.
