How to Make It
Creating a smoothie bowl is simple and so much fun. Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Blend the base: Start with frozen fruit for a thick, creamy texture. Add a splash of liquid like almond milk, oat milk, or water—just enough to help blend.
- Adjust the consistency: A smoothie bowl should be thicker than a drinkable smoothie, so go easy on the liquid. Stop blending when it’s smooth but scoopable.
- Top it off: This is where the magic happens! Add fresh fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, or even a drizzle of nut butter.
- Serve immediately: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh for the ultimate creamy texture.
Make-Ahead Method
Smoothie bowls are best when fresh, but you can prep parts of them ahead:
- Pre-portion ingredients: Freeze your fruit and portion them into freezer bags for quick blending.
- Prep toppings: Chop fresh fruit, measure out granola, and store your toppings in small containers to save time.
- Make smoothie packs: Combine frozen fruit, greens, and other blendable ingredients in freezer bags. When ready, dump into the blender and add liquid.
Pro Tips
- Freeze ripe fruit: Bananas, berries, mangoes, and pineapple work best. Slice and freeze them for an ultra-creamy base.
- Use a powerful blender: A high-speed blender ensures a smooth, thick consistency. Pulse and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Don’t overdo the liquid: Start with a small amount and add more if necessary to keep the mixture thick.
- Layer textures: Combine crunchy (like granola or nuts) with soft (like fresh berries or banana slices) for a satisfying bite.
- Balance flavors: Add a touch of honey or maple syrup if your fruit isn’t sweet enough, and squeeze in lemon juice for brightness.
Storage
- Base only: Freeze the blended smoothie base in a freezer-safe container for up to a week. Thaw slightly and re-blend before serving.
- Toppings: Store crunchy toppings like granola separately in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- Avoid storing fully assembled bowls: The toppings can get soggy, so it’s best to add them fresh.
