Tropical green glow bowl

Megan May's simple fresh green bowl is surprisingly delicious and satisfying. It will also get you off to a great start in the morning as the avocado is filled with good fats, vitamins and minerals, the coconut water is hydrating and the pineapple and papaya are high in enzymes.
