secret-ingredient tropical smoothie bowl

It's sunny today, which automatically means it's OK to have a smoothie bowl in the middle of winter.

For once though, I wasn't feeling kale in my smoothies. Or anything green really (shocking, I know). To be perfectly honest, I was dreaming up this smoothie bowl right before I went to bed yesterday...

So here it is. Gorgeous, simple, and banana-less. The beets give it a beautiful pink color, and you can't even really taste them!
