Smoothie bowls have been popping up all over Instagram, and this breakfast-friendly food tastes as good as it looks. Made with a combination of yogurt, fruit, nuts, cereal, seeds, chocolate, but butter, and granola, smoothie bowls are healthy and tasty! If you want to start making smoothie bowls at home, here’s how.
Blend Up Your Base
To make a super-smooth base, you have to put the ingredients into the blender in the right order. Liquids go first, closest to the blade, and then add soft ingredients like yogurt, greens, avocado, fresh fruit, nut butter, etc. The hard stuff like ice or frozen fruit should go in the blender last.
Make it Creamy
Add a half of a frozen banana or fresh avocado to give your smoothie some creaminess and thickness that will come in handy when you add your toppings.
Throw in Greens
Toss in spinach or kale with your smoothie ingredients to add protein and fiber to your breakfast.
Use a Wide Bowl
After your smoothie is blended, pour it into a bowl that’s wide and shallow. This will give you more space for toppings and it will make your smoothie look Instagram-worthy.
Adding Toppings
When it comes to adding toppings, start with the lightweight ones like chia or flax seeds, slivered almonds, chocolate shavings, or coconut flakes before adding the heavy ones like bananas, kiwi, mango, granola, almond butter, or dried fruit.
