Smoothie bowls are a super popular breakfast item and they make the perfect snack. They’re thick smoothies that you eat with a spoon and then they’re topped with add-ons. Why buy them when you can make them at home and specialize them to your tastes? Here’s your guide to making a smoothie bowl.
Step 1: Add Frozen Fruit
In order to keep your smoothie bowl from turning into a smoothie, you need to use frozen fruit. Choose your favorite fruits and add them to a blender. Add some frozen bananas to give your smoothie the creaminess. If you don’t like bananas, you can use avocados, but you’ll need to add more honey/maple syrup in the next step.
Add 3 tablespoons of the milk of your choosing and 1-2 tablespoons of honey, depending on how sweet your want it. For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Start on a low speed and then increase the speed to high. Make sure all the ingredients get down into the blades. Turn off the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the container and to push the ingredients into the blades. Keep blending until the mixture is smooth and thick.
When the smoothie reaches the consistency you want, pour it into bowls. Now’s the time to add the toppings which set smoothie bowls apart from smoothies. Some topping you can use are granola, nut butter, fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and flaked coconut.
