Okay so I know I am late to jump on the smoothie bowl train but over the last year I have just fallen in love with them. There is a local spot called Kure that makes the best acai and smoothie bowls I have ever had. They are super creamy and topped with berries, bananas, granola and most importantly cinnamon; seriously just something about that cinnamon that makes the bowl so good. The problem is we no longer live close to Kure so now I have to make my own.
DIY Smoothie Bowl:
So a smoothie bowl has two main components a base which is basically a thick smoothie, a spoony -a smoothie that needs to be eaten with a spoon and a topping(s).
For bases I love:
- frozen bananas, strawberries, almond butter, almond milk + optional add-in’s of vanilla protein powder and/or acai powder
- frozen bananas, mango, pineapple, coconut manana and coconut milk + optional add-in’s of spirulina powder and/or baby spinach
- coconut water, kale, almond butter, coconut sugar and banana
Toppings I love:
- Fresh Berries
- Banana
- Mango
- Chia Seeds
- Bee Pollen
- Hemp hearts
- Slivered Almonds
- Honey
- Cinnamon
- Granola
For the bowl pictured:
Base:
– 2 frozen bananas
– 1 juicy mango
– 8 oz coconut juice
– 1 heaping handful of baby spinach
Toppings:
– chia seeds
– hemp hearts
– bee pollen
– slivered almonds
– pinch of cinnamon
What is your favorite smoothie combination? Do you ever make smoothie bowls? If yes, what are your go to toppings?
Here is another recipe for one of my favorite acai smoothie bowls.
Tip: let your bananas get super spotty before peeling and freezing. Waiting until their super spotty makes them super sweet and helps us to better digest them.
