Swap the mixed berries for 2 cups of frozen mango and pineapple chunks. Use coconut milk instead of almond milk and top with toasted coconut and macadamia nuts.
Add a large handful of fresh spinach or kale to the blender with the other base ingredients. The fruit will mask the taste, adding a boost of nutrients. Top with kiwi slices and hemp seeds.
Reduce berries to 1 cup, keep the 2 frozen bananas, and add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter. Top with chocolate granola and cacao nibs.
Substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt or a scoop of vegan protein powder for a similar creamy texture and protein boost.
Mixed berries are loaded with antioxidants like anthocyanins, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
With contributions from fruits, chia seeds, and granola, this bowl is an excellent source of fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes gut health, and helps you feel full and satisfied.
The natural sugars from fruits provide a quick energy boost, while the abundance of Vitamin C from the berries helps to strengthen your immune system.
Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, including muscle. This makes it a great post-workout meal.
This smoothie bowl contains approximately 450-500 calories per serving, depending on the specific toppings and whether you add maple syrup. It's a nutrient-dense meal, not a low-calorie snack.
Yes, it's a very healthy breakfast. It's packed with fiber, vitamins, antioxidants from the fruit, and protein from the Greek yogurt and chia seeds. Be mindful of toppings, as adding too much granola, sweeteners, or nut butters can significantly increase the sugar and calorie content.
The key to a thick smoothie bowl is using minimal liquid and maximum frozen fruit. Always use frozen bananas and berries. Start with less milk than the recipe calls for and only add more if necessary. Using a blender with a tamper helps immensely.
Absolutely! Simply replace the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt, soy yogurt, or a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. Also, ensure your granola is vegan-friendly.
Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed immediately after blending. You can't store the blended smoothie as it will melt and separate. However, you can prep by pre-portioning all the frozen fruit and dry ingredients into freezer bags for a quick morning assembly.
