Enjoy a Beautiful Mixed Berry Smoothie Bowl
A smoothie bowl is a great way to start your day. Don’t be afraid to switch up your berries to make your own unique blend. I used blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Keep in mind that the berries you choose will determine the color of the smoothie base. Darker berries will give you the pretty purplish color.
