Today is another rainy/slightly dreary day here in Pennsylvania and I decided to brighten up my breakfast with this delicious Tropical Smoothie Bowl! 🙂 I LOVE smoothies and smoothie bowls, but definitely don’t get the chance to make and enjoy them as often as I would like. This mixture is super easy to make and…

However, the older I get the more I am seeing that is…
