Grab a spoon (yes, a spoon!) and dig into this vibrant and refreshing Red Velvet Cheesecake Smoothie Bowl. It’s your answer to a 10-minute breakfast and getting in a serving of veggies, before noon. You can blend in either a raw or a cooked beet, with the latter being a better option if you’re using a blender without much horsepower.
Smoothie Bowl Secrets
To keep your thick, luscious smoothie from turning sad and watery, serve it in a cold bowl. Place your serving bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes or longer before making the smoothie. Also, go for a bowl that’s deeper than it is wide. The smaller area means slower melting.
