When is a good time to have a smoothie bowl? Anytime.
Are they just a simple as a smoothie in bowl? Yes. With one key difference. The amount of liquid you use. You create smoothie bowls by adding ¼ to ½ of a cup of liquid instead of 1 to 1½ cups. Another difference is all of the glorious toppings you can add once you transferred it to a bowl, such as crunchy granola and fresh fruit.
Ever attempted to make a vegan smoothie bowl but it wasn’t quite what you expected? We’ve been there and want to share our top hacks to make the best smoothie bowl ever.
Use Frozen Fruit
Skip fresh, frozen fruit will thicken your smoothie so you can eat it with a spoon.
Keep Liquids to a Minimum
Start with 2 tablespoons and gradually add more if you feel it isn’t coming together.
A high-Speed Blender is Best
Why? Because it’s quite powerful and will help you blend all ingredients up in no time without the fruit melting. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides once or twice.
Add Protein Powder
A plant-based protein powder will not only add plant-based protein, but also make the consistency rich and creamy.
Use Toppings with Different Textures
Creativity has no limits here. We love crunchy granola, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, chia seeds, creamy rich nut butters, chewy pieces of dried fruit, and some fresh pieces of fruit. But the options are endless.
Speaking of options, whether you’re in a mood to keep it super simple with only a few toppings or ready to create something fancy, there’s a smoothie bowl recipe for you. To get you started, we’re sharing our top three bowls.
