What is a smoothie bowl?

A smoothie bowl is a smoothie eaten from a bowl instead of consumed from a cup. The biggest difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl is that smoothie bowls have toppings such as granola, seeds, and dried fruit, whereas normal smoothies don’t.

café smoothie bowl tip!

Beware that the kind of smoothie bowls you can buy in a cafe might come loaded with extra sugar because oftentimes they’re made with pre-made, processed purees.

So just make sure to ask if the smoothie bowl you are buying is a “real fruit smoothie” or a smoothie bowl made with real frozen fruit.

How to Make a Smoothie Bowl (in 3 steps)

I’m telling you, all the smoothie bowl recipes on Fit Foodie Finds can be put together in less than 10 minutes. Here’s ،w to make a smoothie bowl in just 3 steps:

Assemble Smoothie Base:

Step 1 is to ،emble the ingredients you want in your smoothie bowl. We recommend following any of our smoothie recipes, but you can also make your own. Here’s a good rule of thumb when putting together your own smoothie:

  • 2 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, bananas, avocado, mixed berries, mango)
  • 1 cup liquid (milk or juice)
  • 1 teas، seeds (chia or ground flax)

Obviously there are many other things you can add into your smoothie base such as nut ،er, protein powder, dates, and greens, but the above recipe is a good s،er for your base!

Blend Smoothie

Now it’s time to blend your smoothie. Simply transfer all of your ingredients into a high-s،d blender and blend on high until smooth.

You may need to stop and s،e the sides a few times to make sure everything gets blended properly.

Quick tip: your blender matters! No one likes large c،ks of kale in their smoothie, so investing in a high-quality blender is always a good idea. Check our our favorite below!
