Smoothie Bowls are one of the best ways you can enjoy using your very own coconut bowls.
Coconut bowls are truly the most natural and exotic way to bring a little bit of paradise into your home or business as they look so impressive but carry an even more important message. Sustainable, Plant-derived, Eco-friendly options are the best way to reduce the amount of plastic we use in our home or as we travel.
Coconut bowls are created with materials which would otherwise be discarded, so each time you support the creative concept of using your coconut bowl, you are promoting a viable plastic-free alternative. Coconuts are one of the most amazing gifts from nature providing us with coconut oil, milk, water and of course the unique coconut shell. In most cases, after the nut has been harvested for its main purpose, the shell is not needed and is therefore thrown away. By using the shells to create coconut bowls; each hand-crafted bowl is truly helping us save the environment.
So, ready to create something wonderful to compliment your coconut bowl? Fresh, plant-based fruit smoothies are super easy to create because you can mix any type of fruit you have available with nut milk and it will be full of nutritional goodness. Smoothie bowls can help to keep you hydrated, make you feel full, provide you with lots of important antioxidants and help to give you lasting energy. In addition to the fruit you can choose from a wide variety of dairy-free alternatives such as almond, cashew, soy, hemp or coconut milk to create a creamy texture.
