matcha + papaya smoothie bowl

yes- we know, we know it’s the dead of winter. but hear us out!

imagine yourself after a nice long work out, when you’re all hot + sweaty. 

then all you have to do is close your eyes while you slurp on this energizing bowl of goodness + you’ll feel like you’re in a tropical paradise. 

maybe. 

okay, probably not.

but it’s full of antioxidants, good fats, proteins, vitamins + minerals so you can refuel yourself in the best kind of way.

a close second, ya?
