FAGE Green Smoothie Bowl

One of my most asked questions is “how do you stay so healthy/fit/skinny when you're eating out all the time?” Well I’ve teamed up with FAGE to share (part of) my secret! In addition to my genes (the majority of my family is on the smaller side) and working out regularly, I make a green smoothie bowl EVERY morning so I can guarantee that I get at least a couple servings of both fruits and veggies in for the day. Not only does this smoothie bowl give me the energy I need to kick start my day but it also keeps me full for hours (I use the FAGE Total 2% Plain Greek yogurt because I’ve found that it keeps me full longer).

As I’ve said before on Instagram, FAGE was the first Greek yogurt I ever tried when I was younger and I instantly fell in love because of how rich and creamy it is. Now I ALWAYS have a container of FAGE Total in my fridge. It’s so versatile and can be used many different ways, one of my favorites being a substitute for sour cream and for homemade dressings. But before I get carried away about all the different uses, see below for my green smoothie bowl recipe!

Just a few things to note:

• Try to buy organic greens because kale and spinach are part of the dirty dozen, meaning they are some of the most heavily sprayed (with pesticides) produce.

• I add matcha powder to my smoothie for an extra boost of caffeine and antioxidants but your smoothie won’t miss it if you don’t add it.

• If you like your smoothie bow on the sweeter side, add a honey drizzle on top but I usually find that a ripe banana makes it sweet enough.
