“Superfood” Jungle Green Smoothie Bowl
A jungle green smoothie bowl is the perfect solution to get your kids filled to the brim with the goodness of greens!
This tasty bowl contains a full serving of veggies plus a beneficial blend of healthy fats and proteins.
But the best part? This Jungle Green Smoothie Bowl’s sweet taste and ice cream-like consistency will have your kids begging for more!
The “magic” ingredient? Avocados!
Avocados are one of the best foods for kids (and grown-ups) alike:
- Provide “good fats” that promote brain development
- High in Omega 3s and essential proteins
- Create a luscious creamy texture that kids will love
Between the proteins, spinach and fat this smoothie bowl comes with quite a nutritional punch!

- 2 tbs ground flaxseed
