Spring is upon us and the warmer sunnier days provide the perfect motivation to lighten up those meals.
Creamy, colourful and full of nutrients, smoothie bowls hit the spot! The eye-catching creations include healthy ingredients such as raw almond “mylk,” berries, nuts and seeds and are naturally sweetened.
Here are 3 of our favorite locations to partake in mouthwatering and healthy bowls in Victoria:
