“They’re perfect for breakfast, and they’re also perfect for your Instagram if you want to post a very glamorous picture of what you’re eating for breakfast,” the blogger and Hills alum says about the recipe.

Smoothie bowls recently became popular on social media because they’re not only easy and delicious, but also picture-worthy. Even better, you can customize your bowl to your preferences. If you want a pink smoothie bowl, add strawberries and raspberries. For a green smoothie bowl, add spinach.

And don’t forget the most important part — the toppings! Bosworth, 30, tops hers off with toasted coconut, spiced nuts and caramelized bananas, which she says are the “superstar of the smoothie bowl.”

The impressive breakfast dish is simple, beautiful and delicious, and reflects Bosworth’s cooking style: “I’m a laid-back chef. I kind of like to think that Julia Child was a laid-back chef and she’s my all-time cooking inspiration.”
