KELLY ALEXANDER
This sweet and salty smoothie bowl combination is divine. As well as adding a flavorsome treat to your morning smoothie, the additional nut butter and chia jam offer an extra protein hit to keep you sustained for longer. Feel free to switch out the peanut butter for any other nut butter you love.
