Instructions
For the Mint Sugar Topping
Add granulated sugar and fresh mint leaves to a food processor. Blend on high until mint is chopped up and combined with the sugar. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside.
For the Smoothie Bowls
Add frozen bananas, Meyer lemon, navel orange and sumo orange to a blender. Pour the almondmilk on top and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into two large bowls, and top each bowl with wedges of oranges, blueberries, sliced kiwi, coconut flakes, and fresh mint leaves. Sprinkle mint sugar over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure your bananas are frozen. This will make sure your smoothie bowl base is thick enough to hold up your toppings.This smoothie bowl is very bright and fresh. The oranges and Meyer lemon add a subtle citrus flavor that is also slightly sweet. I love to use Meyer lemon in this recipe because it is more mellow than regular lemons and gives this smoothie bowl a light pine flavor.While the mint sugar may seem like an unnecessary step, it is not to be missed! It adds a little crunch to your smoothie bowl and the fresh mint flavor pairs so well with the citrus. You will most likely have leftover mint sugar. It's great for sprinkling over fresh fruit (especially citrus fruits) or in your iced tea.
