With the recent increase in popularity of the renowned Smoothie Bowl, I felt like it was time I tried out my own. So here goes…
It wasn’t much different from making a normal smoothie, the only difference was, instead of pouring it into a glass, you pour it into a bowl. It felt a little unusual, eating a drink from a bowl with a spoon, but surprisingly satisfying. Like eating soup, it felt just like a meal, and I had trouble finishing it, even though it’s the same smoothie I make regularly; it’s all about tricking the mind.
I treated the smoothie bowl just like a fridge cleaner, using all the fruit I wasn’t eating and were getting a bit old. The ingredients for the smoothie included:
- Papaya
- Red Grapes
- Frozen Mango
- Frozen Blueberries
- Banana
- Kale
- Almond Milk
- Handful Trail Mix
- 3 Prunes
- 1 Tsp Chia Seeds
- 1 Tsp Mixed Nut Powder
- 1 Tsp Protein Powder
For the toppings it was important to keep the lines straight, so I started with Chia Seeds, as they were easier to sprinkle on. Try and sprinkle them evenly and as straight as possible, as it’s easier to build out from there.
For mine, after the Chia Seeds, I used Nut Powder, and then Cacao Nibs; then added the Blueberries.
This is what I did for my smoothie bowl, but you may prefer to add some different flavours; it’s great to add a pop of colour, a superfood aspect and a filling base, such as the protein powder, that makes it more of a meal.
