This meal has been my jam lately, I’ve been so obsessed. I love a good smoothie bowl! Going out to get one gets a little pricey, so I wanted to figure out how to make my own and honestly, I think I’ve got it down! It’s so easy this recipe is only a few simple ingredients and you have a delicious meal (or snack)! In today’s post, I really want to break it down for you so if you make a bowl at home it’s just as yummy! Here’s my easy smoothie bowl recipe!
the base
The key to the base is to use frozen fruit, it makes it thick and creamy without watering it down like having to use ice! Start with any frozen fruit I can find/ have. I found a mix of frozen açaí, strawberry, raspberry, and banana at my store. I put probably 1 and 1/2 cups of the frozen fruit, and SPLASH of almond milk (you can use whatever here) to help it blend. Be super careful when adding the liquid this will make or break the consistency!
Here is the part where you have to have some patients, it takes a long time to blend! As the fruit thaws out a little bit it will blend. This is where I add in half a banana, I prefer them to be slightly overripe for the sweetness! Save the other half, you need it for the toppings!
top it off
Once everything is blended together and smooth pour it into a bowl! This is my favorite part (other than eating it) TOPPINGS! I love making the toppings look pretty! I like to use KIND granola, goji berries, banana, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, strawberries, and a drizzle of honey. Of course play around with what you like and what flavors you’re going for!
I hope you enjoy this easy smoothie bowl recipe! I love being in the kitchen and naturally over share lol! Smoothie bowls have been such go-to for me lately, they are so fresh and filling. If you need a little more of a meal add vanilla protein powder, I have done this many times and it works super well but you will need a little more liquid. Thank you for hanging with me I hope you enjoy this recipe!
