Notes on Ingredients

- Blackberries– These provide additional tartness along with the sweetness.
- Bananas– This sweet fruit also contributes smoothness to the smoothie bowl.
- Honey-For a hint of sweetness.
- Plain Greek yogurt– This protein-rich component also imparts extra creaminess and silkiness to the Blueberry Smoothie Bowl.
- Almond butter– For thickness, nutty taste, and additional protein.
- Kiwi– This tropical fruit boasts a pleasant sweet-tart taste that complements the rest. Employ it as a topping or blend it into the smoothie.
- Toppings- I chose granola, coconut chips, and chia seeds for my creation, but you could also incorporate other toppings such as goji berries, sliced bananas, and fresh berries.
Additions and Alternatives
- Incorporate different fruits- Experiment with other fruits in this recipe, for instance, peaches, mango, pineapple, raspberries, cherries, or strawberries.
- Swap frozen fruit- You could also whip this up with frozen fruit. It will yield a somewhat denser smoothie bowl, so you might need to introduce a bit of water or milk to aid in blending.
- Integrate protein powder- Intensify the protein content of this smoothie bowl by blending in some vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
- Prepare it dairy-free- Simply replace the yogurt with plant-based yogurt like coconut milk yogurt for a lactose-free meal.
Crafting of Blueberry Smoothie Bowls
- Whisk together the ingredients. Pop the fruit into a blender along with the honey, Greek yogurt, and almond butter. Operate the blender on high until the ingredients reach a smooth consistency.
- Include toppings. Pour the blueberry smoothie into a roomy bowl and embellish with your favored toppings. In my case, I used kiwi, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and granola.
Insider Tip:Â This smoothie bowl is most enjoyable when chilled, so store it in the fridge until you’re set to serve.
Tips for the Recipe
- Inspect the berries for stems- Some sneaky stems sometimes find their way into a pint of these luscious berries, so ensure to check for any before adding them to the blender.
- Slice the bananas- It’s ideal to halve or quarter the bananas for easier blending with the other ingredients.
- Employ smooth almond butter- To maintain a silky and smooth consistency, opt for velvety nut butter to evade any unpleasant chunkiness in the mix.
- Scrape the blender’s walls- If any ingredient clings to the sides of the blender, scrape it down to ensure thorough blending of the smoothie.
