The winter chill may be upon us, but you can beat the winter blues by making this protein packed, raw, vegan tropical smoothie bowl.  Featuring the anti-inflammatory, digestion improving and cancer fighting powerhouses of coconut and pineapple, this light yet filling bowl is sure to transport you to some place warm and sunny.

In a blender or food processor combine:

1 1/2 cups of frozen tropical mix (pineapple, mango, strawberry and coconut)  You can make your own or find a prepared option in your local grocery store.

1 cup of coconut milk beverage (unsweetened)

1 scoop of vegan, raw protein

Blend until smooth, thinning with water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.  Pour into a bowl and then top with:

3 tbs chia seeds

1/2 cup vegan, gluten free granola

fresh fruit (I chose raspberries and pineapple).
