Looking for a healthy lunch idea? This Green Smoothie Bowl takes less than 5 minutes to make and is an almost effortless way to get fruits and vegetables into your diet! And It's so tasty you won't even guess that the only sweetener is a banana! (Paleo, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free, Refined Sugar-Free) this idea now...

A green smoothie is a great way to eat a healthier lunch or snack everyday, but what happens when you get tired of drinking your food? Sometimes you just want a change.

This Healthy Green Smoothie Bowl takes the ingredients of a typical green smoothie drink and turns it into a tasty lunch that you can eat with a spoon! With spinach, avocado, coconut flakes, protein powder, and banana, you can choose from a few toppings and know you’ll be eating a delicious healthy lunch.

I love a green smoothie at lunch, because it helps me to stay on a healthy-eating plan every day. If I eat something else, like leftovers from the dinner the night before, I’ve noticed I’m more likely to make unhealthy choices later. I don’t know what it is exactly, but eating a healthy lunch really helps me.

But I’m always cold, especially during the winter. Back in January, I was determined to eat healthy, but every time I’d drink a green smoothie for lunch, it would literally chill me to my CORE! It was probably the frozen fruit I’d use, but I just could not do it anymore!

So I started experimenting with a smoothie alternative and came up with this Healthy Green Smoothie Bowl recipe. I couldn’t think of what on earth to call this at first, but I did some googling and read about smoothie bowls. And this is a Smoothie Bowl if I ever saw one!

I adore this Green Smoothie Bowl recipe because it includes a nice amount of spinach and avocado – two foods I try to eat frequently because there’s so many benefits. And both fit so deliciously into this recipe that I don’t even realize I’m eating them!

The other great thing about this green smoothie bowl is that it takes less than 5 minutes to whip up in a food processor. It’s also easy to double the recipe and save half for the next day, though I do think it tastes the best freshly made. You could even put this green smoothie bowl into a mason jar and take it on-the-go! 

Add a few delicious toppings, like walnuts, strawberries, banana slices, and coconut flakes and you’ll have a real treat in your hands. It’s really hard to believe this is such a healthy lunch!

What You’ll Need for this Green Smoothie Bowl:

  • ½ avocado
  • spinach, one large handful
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 Tbsp coconut flakes
  • 2 Tbsp protein powder (I love this pea protein powder)
  • 1 Tbsp almond milk
  • 1-2 Tbsp hemp hearts, optional

Toppings:

  • chopped walnuts
  • sliced banana
  • coconut flakes
  • berries

Put the avocado, spinach, and banana into a food processor and mix until nicely combined.

Scrape the sides, then add the coconut flakes, protein powder, almond milk, and hemp hearts (optional) and mix again.

You can add a little more almond milk if you want to thin it more. I prefer a thicker smoothie bowl myself.

Spoon into a bowl or mason jar.

      That looks like a great idea for quick and easy lunch that is actually good for you. We don’t have a food processor but we just purchased a high quality blender so will see if this works in there.

      Eating healthy sure looks like a lot of work! Ido love spinach, but I am less sure about the avocado. Maybe once my kids are big and I am just feeding myself I will have to try out some things like this.

        I wasn’t an avocado fan until recently, but you can’t really taste it in recipes like this. It simply adds a delightful creamy factor.
        Only one of my kids likes avocados, yet all four of them love this smoothie bowl or regular smoothies where I always add avocado because it’s such a healthy food.
        Try it, you might be surprised and love it!

      Hmm, that’s an interesting take on a smoothie. Looks like it would be a good guac replacement!
