What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Blueberries- These sweet berries are the star of the show. Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor.
- Blackberries– These add some extra tartness along with the sweet.
- Bananas– This sweet fruit also adds creaminess to the smoothie bowl.
- Honey-For just a touch for sweetness.
- Plain Greek yogurt– This protein-packed ingredient also makes the Blueberry Smoothie Bowl extra creamy and smooth.
- Almond butter– For some thickness, nutty flavor, and added protein.
- Kiwi– This tropical fruit has a nice sweet-tart flavor that goes with the rest. Use it as a topping or add it to the smoothie.
- Toppings- I used granola, coconut chips, and chia seeds for my bowl, but you can add other toppings as well, such as goji berries, sliced bananas, and fresh berries.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Add other fruits- Try this recipe with other fruits, such as peaches, mango, pineapple, raspberries, cherries, or strawberries.
- Substitute frozen fruit- You can also make this with frozen fruit. It will make the smoothie bowl a little thicker, so you may need to add a little water or milk to help it blend.
- Add protein powder- Add some more protein to this smoothie bowl with the addition of some vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
- Make it dairy-free- Just substitute the yogurt for plant-based yogurt, such as coconut milk yogurt, for a dairy-free meal.
How to Make Blueberry Smoothie Bowls
- Blend the ingredients. Place the fruit into a blender, along with the honey, Greek yogurt, and almond butter. Pulse the blender on high until the ingredients obtain a smooth consistency.
- Add toppings. Pour the blueberry smoothie into a large bowl and top with your favorite toppings. I used kiwi, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and granola on mine.
Pro Tip: This smoothie bowl tastes best cold, so keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Recipe Tips
- Check the berries for stems- Some always sneak into a pint of these tasty berries, so check them for stems before adding them to the blender.
- Cut the bananas- It’s best to chop the bananas in half or smaller so they more easily blend with the rest of the ingredients.
- Use creamy almond butter- To keep your smoothie a smooth and creamy consistency, use creamy nut butter to avoid crunchy chunks inside.
- Scrape down the sides of the blender- If the ingredients are stuck on the sides of the blender, scrape them down so the smoothie is thoroughly combined.
FAQs
