The benefits of smoothie bowls are endless from improving your gut health, contributing to glowing skin, and boosting your immune system! Since I'm all about healing your gut and improving your skin from within, here are the skin healthy benefits:

• Banana: Bananas are rich in vitamins A and C, which help promote a healthy complexion by nourishing and moisturizing the skin, leaving it looking radiant and hydrated.
• Pineapple: Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties and aids in reducing skin inflammation and redness, making it beneficial for those with acne or sensitive skin.

TIPS ON MAKING THE BEST EVER THICK PINEAPPLE BANANA SMOOTHIE BOWL

USE FROZEN FRUIT & VEGGIES ONLY. Frozen fruits and vegetables will make your smoothies super thick and creamy. Fresh fruits will make your smoothie bowl really watery. Don't use any fresh fruit in this pineapple banana smoothie smoothie bowl unless you're using it as a topping.

DON'T USE TOO MUCH LIQUID. Only start with a splash of liquid in your pineapple smoothie bowl and add more only as needed to get the blades of your blender going. Too much liquid will make your smoothie bowl watery and unable to support toppings.

USE YOUR TAMPER OR STIR DOWN DOWARDS THE BLADES. Keep pushing chunks of frozen fruit towards the bottom of your blender until it is smooth and creamy.

DON'T OVER BLEND. Once your smoothie is smooth, stop blending it! If you keep blending for too long it can start to melt and you won't have a super thick bowl.

To make this tropical pina colada inspired smoothie bowl is super easy! People ask me all the time how I get my bowls so thick, and the trick is really in the frozen fruit! And of course not having the heat too high in your house so it doesn't melt.

Start by adding the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, and coconut water to your blender.

Turn your blender on low. You will notice that it is not blending quickly. This is okay! You will have to turn your blender off a few times and push the frozen chunks down:

And again:

Just look at that perfect texture:

Scoop the smoothie into a bowl and add your toppings.
