How to make a smoothie bowl

Smoothie Bowl Roundup

So, What is a Smoothie Bowl?

A smoothie bowl is a simple, delicious invention.  Imagine your favourite smoothie blended to perfection served with a number of delicious, satisfying toppings.  Sort of like what you’d make a Sundae bar but healthier.

Making Smoothies for the Base

Every smoothie bowl starts with a delicious base – the options are endless. This post share some of our favourite smoothies bowls from various bloggers, but you can use any smoothie to get started.  Check out our Smoothies 101 post for all the tips to get a perfect smoothie every time or our Smoothies page for more inspiration.

Best Toppings for a Smoothie Bowl

The world is your oyster. There are no rules for smoothie toppings but a word of caution: if you are going for healthy, try to not turn this into a Sundae.

Some of our favourite toppings:

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • Sliced or diced fruit (bananas, pineapple, mango, kiwi)
  • Nuts (Almond slivers, peanuts, walnuts, macademia and more)
  • Seeds (Pepita, flax, chia)
  • Granola
  • Honey
  • Nut Butters
  • Coconut
  • Cacoa Nibs

Breakfast or Dessert?

Why choose? Smoothie bowls can make a great meal replacement or a tasty treat for dessert.  As noted, just watch your serving size and the ingredients to ensure that you are meeting your nutritional goals and not suddenly consuming a full day of calories at breakfast.

Smoothie bowls are also a great way to introduce your kids to Smoothies and they can help make their own by selecting the ingredients. You can also sneak a little more fruits and veggies into their diets.
