    Smoothie bowl, a delicious and super healthy breakfast recipe, made with only 5 ingredients in just 5 minutes. Eat it with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

    This smoothie bowl is a super complete and wonderfully good breakfast to start the day with a lot of energy. It's delicious, nutritious, and naturally sweet.

    This recipe is super simple and easy to prepare, as it's made with only 5 affordable ingredients. However, you can customize it with your favorite toppings, such as chopped fruits, nuts, seeds, shredded coconut... Go ahead and get creative!

    Besides, serving a smoothie in a bowl makes it easier to digest because you have to eat it with a spoon, so it actually takes some more time to eat it than if you just drank it.

    Smoothie bowl, tasty, healthy, and simple. To make it you only need a powerful blender and 5 minutes of your time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

    How to make a smoothie bowl - Step by step

    Step-by-step photos of how to make a smoothie bowl
    • Peel, chop and freeze the bananas the night before (photo 1).
    • The next day, add all the ingredients to a powerful blender (photo 2) and blend until smooth (photo 3).
    • Serve immediately.

    Pro tips

    • Frozen bananas are the key to get creamier smoothies, but regular bananas will also do, especially if you're not a big fan of cold smoothies.
    • You can add more or less plant milk depending on the thickness you're looking for.
    • Feel free to incorporate other ingredients such as leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.
    • Peanut butter is an optional ingredient, but feel free to replace it with almond butter, cashew butter, or even coconut butter.
    • Although this smoothie bowl is already sweet, you could add some sweeteners. I sometimes use dates, but that's optional.
    • If you add dates, I suggest you use Medjool dates. If you can't find them use 4 Deglet Nour dates instead.
    • Water, coconut water, orange juice, or any other kind of liquid will work for this recipe. However, I prefer to add almond milk to get a creamier consistency, although it will also taste amazing with oat milk, soy milk, or cashew milk.

    Are smoothie bowls healthy?

    Of course, especially if you make them yourself. However, if you add artificial sweeteners such as refined sugar they may not be as healthy as they could.

    That's why I suggest you eat your smoothie bowl plain, as it is already naturally sweet, or add some dates instead.

    How long will this smoothie bowl keep?

    Although it's best when fresh because it keeps all its properties, you can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

    How to serve a smoothie bowl

    You can eat it with plenty of different toppings. I love to serve it with chopped blueberries, blackberries, and other kinds of berries, as well as shredded coconut and nuts. It also tastes amazing with some granola.
