Tropical Sunset Smoothie Bowl

Over the past few months, I have been saving bananas that were on the verge of going bad by cutting them into smaller chunks and freezing them. I also froze a couple of strawberries with them because I didn't want them to rot. Since the bag they were in was pretty much full, I decided it was finally time to do something with them! I also had a bunch of canned pineapple tidbits from another recipe (which is coming soon to the blog also!!) and I thought that would go good with the pineapple coconut water I had, so I froze some of that pineapple too and now here we are.

This smoothie bowl was super yummy and I kinda felt like I was eating ice cream for breakfast! The combo of strawberries, bananas, pineapple, and coconut made me feel as though I was on an island getaway rather than on my couch. It's also very filling and could definitely be enjoyed for any meal of the day. I definitely urge you to try this super healthy and delicious recipe out!!
