Smoothie bowls are the perfect warm weather food. They’re cold, refreshing, and completely gorgeous. I love making smoothie bowls because I can be healthy and extra at the same time. Win-win.
Here are three recipes for smoothie bowls that are delicious, healthy, and beautiful. Be creative, and use any toppings that you like!
Some more of my favorite smoothie bowl toppings are bananas, slivered almonds, cashew butter and chocolate chips. I love using frosted berries to top my smoothie bowls too. Just freeze fresh berries and they become frosted when you take them out of the freezer. The raspberries on my matcha bowl in these pics are frosted. They started to thaw out by the time I took the pics, but trust me, they’re so pretty when they’re frosted.
How do I make thick smoothie bowls?
To make a thick smoothie bowl, use frozen fruits and add as little liquid as possible. This will make your smoothie thicker and creamier. Use a powerful, high-speed blender to blend the frozen fruit with your liquid of choice until it is completely smooth. If the mixture is still too thin, try adding a thickening agent like chia seeds or rolled oats. These will absorb liquid and help thicken your smoothie. Finally, let the smoothie mixture sit for a few minutes before adding toppings to allow it to thicken further. With these tips, you’ll be able to make a perfectly thick and delicious smoothie bowl every time.
What is the best blender to make smoothie bowls?
I have used a Ninja blender and a Vitamix when making smoothie bowls. The Ninja blender is a more affordable option compared to the high-end Vitamix blender. Both blenders are powerful and capable of blending tough ingredients. Vitamix has a more powerful motor and superior blade design that allows for smoother blending. Additionally, Vitamix blenders have a wider range of speed settings and typically come with longer warranties and better customer service. However, the Ninja blender offers a good balance of performance and affordability and is a solid choice for home use. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on individual needs and budget.
