How To Make A Green Smoothie Bowl

July 8, 2018 By Jessica Leave a Comment

Smoothie Bowls are the perfect breakfast to kickstart a guilt-free morning. They’re loaded with healthy ingredients like spinach, green grapes and chia seeds… so you can feel an energizing boost of antioxidants while slurping down a tasty treat.

We jumped on the smoothie bowl train roughly four years ago, and have never looked back. It’s one of our go-to breakfasts and we love how customizable the toppings are. Added bonus: our toddler thinks they taste like ice cream. #MomWin

I try to keep a variety of fruits and vegetables in the house at all times so I can sneak them into Dylan’s meals. He’s turned into a very picky eater (hello age three), so it’s a work in progress. Any produce that I’ve had on hand for a few days automatically goes to the freezer. It’s a great way to ensure minimal waste… plus, frozen fruit works best for this dish anyways.

HERE ARE MY TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE A GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL:

  1. Use lighter-colored berries to achieve a bright green color. Strawberries and raspberries work best. Darker fruit will turn the liquid pink or brown (which still tastes wonderful – but isn’t the color you’re aiming for).
  2. Always use frozen bananas, as they create a thicker consistency that’s ideal for scooping with a spoon.
  3. My favorite green fruit and veggie options include: spinach, kale, avocado, zucchini and grapes.
  4. Add plain Greek yogurt for a protein boost (optional – omit if Whole30).

AS FOR TOPPINGS… THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

Here is the key to transforming this bowl of goodness into a complete meal. A few of my favorite additions include:

  • Chia Seeds
  • Hemp Hearts
  • Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Sunflower seeds
  • Fresh Berries
  • Granola
  • A drizzle of Almond Butter
  • Unsweetened Coconut
