How to store Chocolate Berry Smoothie Bowl

- Feel free to add spinach or kale for an extra nutrient boost without changing the flavor much.
- If you prefer a sweeter bowl, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. 🍯
Variations
- Swap out almond milk for your milk of choice (coconut, soy, or oat milk works great!).
