Are you a smoothie lover? If so, you’ll fall in love with this vibrant power smoothie bowl.
It looks impressive, but it takes less than 10 minutes and only a few ingredients to prepare.
I enjoy smoothies for breakfast or as an evening snack at least four times a week. They make a great healthy dessert too.
Smoothies are one of the easiest, quickest and healthiest meals you can make.
I recently discovered smoothie bowls and was delighted by the idea. Serving a smoothie in a bowl is more fun: more colorful, prettier, and it gives you room for healthy, delicious toppings. It feels like a complete meal.
We’re hooked—my son, who is usually a picky eater, even enjoys his colorful breakfast bowl.
This bowl delivers the nourishment and energy you need to keep going through the day.
Making an attractive, healthy smoothie bowl isn’t complicated. All you need is a blender and a few ingredients—blend everything together and you’re done. It’s that simple—and totally customizable.
There’s no single right way to make a smoothie. You can mix in whatever works for you and finish with toppings you like.
While I’ll be sharing many more smoothie bowl recipes, today I’m offering a simple, fuss-free favorite I call the power smoothie bowl. With fruit, milk and a few superfoods, it’s a great way to start the day.
When I build a smoothie bowl, I consider:
- Base – milk, yogurt, or just frozen fruit
- Add-ons – assorted fruits, especially berries
- More add-ons if desired – flaxseed meal, silken tofu, oats, chia seeds, nut butter, avocado
- Sweetness – banana, apple, mango, dates
- Favorite toppings – chopped fruit, chia seeds, flax meal, nuts, unsweetened grated coconut, sunflower seeds, cereal or granola, dried fruits and berries, avocado, dates
I like my smoothie thick and creamy, and I love toppings with varied textures. You’ll enjoy the crunch and bright flavors of this power smoothie bowl.
This recipe combines mixed berries, mango, kiwi, banana, almond milk and superfoods such as chia seeds and almonds for extra power and crunch.
