Team VIVRA's favourite smoothies and acai bowls!

It’s no secret that we love fueling our bodies with organic and natural ingredients. You might have seen a smoothie or acai bowl featured on our Instagram @vivralifestyle from time to time and we want to share with you some recipes for our favourite smoothies, as well as where we think you can get the best smoothies and acai bowls in Brisbane. The recipes are quick and easy to whip up, taste delicious and are oh-so-colourful (your Instagram will be a buzz of excitement!).

The first one is the:
Power POP

Ingredients:
1 cup blueberries
1 banana
1 handful spinach
2 tbls chia seeds
Coconut water or rice milk

Method: Add all ingredients into a blender and blend away. If you like it sweeter, add some honey. Alternatively, add another banana and make it a smoothie bowl - top with fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of chia seeds!

Our second fav is the:
Smooth Thriller

Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries (hulled)
1 handful raspberries (frozen or fresh)
200mL pineapple juice
1 banana
2 tbls chia seeds
200mL coconut water or rice milk

Method: Add all ingredients into a blender and blend. Add a handful of ice to make it super tropical, or perhaps some fresh strawberries and a parasol for island holiday vibes!

And our third and final:

Simply sunshine

 

Ingredients:
1 carrot (peeled and diced)
2 bananas
1 orange (peeled and cut into quarters)
1 tbls flaxseed
1 cup ice

Method: Make sure your carrot is washed, peeled and chopped before blending. Add all items to the blender and blend away.  A handful of ice gives you a more refreshing taste.

When we don't have time to make our own smoothies we love to pick up a smoothie or acai bowl from Blended Health Bar.  They've got such a wide variety and a smoothie to suit everyone's tastes.

Emily's favourite bowl is the original Acai Bowl  which includes - acai, banana, berries and coconut water, with a topping of GF muesli and fruit.

Sarah's favourite bowl is the Hulk Bowl which includes - spinach, banana, vanilla protein, peanut butter, natural frozen yoghurt and almond milk with a topping of GF muesli and fruit.

There you have it, our favourite smoothie recipes and acai bowls!  With your smoothies keep in mind that you can of course substitute some of the ingredients. If you’ve made any of these or have visited Blended Health Bar while out and about on a walk or casual day out while wearing your VIVRA -  don’t forget to let us know by tagging us on Instagram @vivralifestyle and vivralifestyle or on Facebook @VIVRA!  We love sharing our favourite things with you, whether it's food related, active lifestyle or fashion.  Keep up with us on our personal Instagram accounts!
