What is a Smoothie Bowl?
A smoothie bowl is a thick and satisfying smoothie served in a bowl with toppings. It's a healthy alternative to soft-serve ice cream, and the key is to use less liquid to create a spoonable consistency. Blend frozen mixed berries, a frozen banana, and almond milk for the base, then top it with more berries, granola, peanut butter, and chia seeds.
Ingredients for the Best Smoothie Bowls:
- Frozen Mixed Berries
- Frozen Banana
- Almond Milk
- Toppings like chia seeds, granola, more berries, and nut butter
More Topping Ideas:
- Fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried fruit
- Nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews
- Seeds such as pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, or flaxseeds
- Cacao nibs or chocolate chips
- Shredded coconut
- Overnight oats
- Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg
- Sweeteners like honey, agave, or maple syrup
- Yogurt
The Perfect Ratio for Smoothie Bowls:
For a creamy and dessert-like texture, use the ratio of 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 cup frozen banana, and 1/4 cup milk. Add 1 tablespoon of your favorite superfood for extra nutrition.
