Smoothie Bowl For Breakfast

I like smoothies, but they aren’t a meal to me, they are a drink. The smoothies that are packed with fruits, veggies, protein, etc. and are meant to be a meal still don’t do it for me. I want and need to chew food. I would never survive a juice cleanse. I like to eat, not drink my meals. I make smoothies all of the time for snacks and for the boys, but not for meals.

I recently discovered a way to enjoy smoothies as a meal, smoothie bowls! Have you tried them? I am obsessed. You basically make a thick smoothie, pour it into a bowl, add a ton of toppings, and eat it with a spoon. Yes, you eat it, not drink it, so it totally counts as a meal!

I am currently loving this Berry Banana Smoothie Bowl. I make it at least twice a week. I love it and so do my boys!

How To Make A Smoothie Bowl

You only need four ingredients to make the Berry Banana Smoothie:

Milk (I like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. You could also use kefir.)
Frozen banana
Frozen mixed berries
Spinach (I promise you won’t taste it!)

Using frozen fruit is the key. You want the smoothie to be thick so you can eat it with a spoon. I love sneaking in the spinach because my boys never know it’s there. The dark purple berries hide the green! You can also use kale.

Toppings

Once the smoothie is blended, pour it into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. I like to go topping crazy. I add fresh berries, banana slices, granola, chia seeds, toasted coconut, and chopped almonds. The beauty of smoothie bowls? You can add whatever toppings you like. The toppings not only make the bowl pretty, but they add substance to the smoothie. The toppings make it a real meal!

Here are a few of my favorite granolas to add:

Almond butter granola
Coconut granola
Chocolate espresso granola
Peanut butter granola
Brown butter maple granola

Easy + Healthy Meal

You can enjoy this healthy smoothie bowl for breakfast, as a snack, or even dessert! The smoothie is sweet, creamy, and smooth. It reminds me of ice cream, but with lots of extra goodies! Tastes like ice cream, but is healthy enough for a meal? WINNING! This Berry Banana Smoothie Bowl is amazing and the perfect treat for summer!

Grab a spoon and give this healthy Berry Banana Smoothie Bowl a try! It is fun to make and fun to eat! Let your family members and friends customize their bowls with their favorite toppings. The options are endless! You can even have a smoothie bowl party! Go crazy and enjoy!
