How to Prepare a Plant-Based Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are becoming very popular, not just because they are fun to make and pretty to look at, but they provide an excellent breakfast loaded with important nutrients your body needs.

Here are some tips for making plant-based smoothie bowls you can enjoy even on a vegan diet.

Berries and Coconut Smoothie Bowl

This first smoothie bowl is a simple recipe that lets you see just how you will put the smoothie bowl together. One thing to remember about smoothie bowls is that while many of the ingredients are the same as regular smoothies, there are some differences.

First of all, you need to make sure the smoothie itself is thicker since it is in a bowl and being consumed with a spoon instead of a straw. You will also add some extra toppings to the bowl. To make the smoothie bowl thick, add an extra banana, then use your non-dairy milk of choice, frozen berries, and some coconut.

The banana in this smoothie bowl should be enough to thicken it up. For the top, add more shredded coconut along with chia seeds and other toppings.

Green Berry Smoothie Bowl

Here is another smoothie bowl that uses berries, but it also provides a green bowl with veggies. For the veggies, choose any greens you want, like spinach or kale, then add in plenty of frozen berries.

Along with that, use coconut milk or almond milk, and your frozen banana to thicken it up. If it is frozen, you shouldn’t need to add ice, which reduces the water in the smoothie mixture and will help to keep it even thicker. You can also make it a little sweeter with a little bit of agave. For the top of this bowl, try slivered almonds and some berries.

Ocean-Inspired Smoothie Bowl

This smoothie bowl is not only delicious, but very pretty. It has a lovely teal color thanks to the combination of bananas and avocados. Avocados are great for a smoothie because they take on the taste of any fruit and additives you add, but really help to make a thicker smoothie bowl.

Add in some vanilla almond milk or vanilla soy milk, and raw spirulina powder for more color and nutrition. For a sweeter flavor, you can add in more fruit or just use fruit as toppings, like kiwi slices and blueberries.

Get creative with your smoothie bowls, and just remember to add your frozen banana to thicken up the bowls.
