Mahalo Smoothie Bowl:  A Rainbow Of Colors

Erika uses mango, pineapple, and oranges in her smoothie bowl recipe with added ginger and pineapple juice.  For toppings, she used strawberries, mango, shredded coconut, blueberry preserves or jam (drizzled), granola, and agave drizzled over everything.  Sounds pretty yum right?  Smoothie bowls are so simple to make and full of an abundance of flavor as well as natural fruit nutrients.  It’s a dish you just can’t go wrong with.
