Ingredients + Notes

This new smoothie bowl recipe uses simple ingredients. The only uncommon ingredient in this is moringa powder. If you don’t have this on hand, it can easily be skipped.

Banana: A great way to ensure your smoothie bowl is nice and thick is to use a frozen banana. That being said, using fresh banana works fine too. (Just not as well as frozen.)

Blueberries: I highly recommend using frozen blueberries if at all possible. Using fresh blueberries will work, but to achieve that nice thick texture, the more frozen fruit you can use, the better.

Almond Butter: Adding nut butter to your smoothie increases healthy fat intake, keeping you fuller for longer.

Moringa Powder: Moringa powder is a superfood. Therefore, it’s a great option for diversifying the vitamins and minerals you consume.

Almond Milk: Almond great is a good milk alternative for smoothies. That being said, I recommend using whatever plant milk you have on hand.

Topping Ideas

You don’t really need toppings on a smoothie bowl it makes it so luxurious and potentially more filling!

Fresh Fruit: Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries are great toppings for this vegan smoothie bowl. Banana slices are one of my favorite toppings because we always have bananas on hand.

Nut Butter: This recipe includes almond butter but adding a drizzle on top can make it extra luscious. Alternatively, peanut butter or cashew butter works well, too, for topping this perfect bowl.

Coconut Flakes: Coconut flakes or coconut chips are a great addition to any smoothie bowl.

Popped Quinoa: Popped quinoa is a fun topping and adds a different, fun texture to this vegan smoothie.

How To Make A Thick Smoothie Bowl

There are two key techniques to making a thick creamy smoothie bowl.

Use frozen fruit whenever possible.

Pro tip: When your bananas are getting close to being overripe, peel them, break them in half, and freeze them. This way, you’ll always have some on hand. Bananas make a great smoothie base and add to the creaminess.
Use minimal to no liquid. The amount of liquid needed for a thick blueberry smoothie bowl depends on how robust your blender is. You can also get away with less liquid in a smoothie if your blender has a tamper.

A Vitamix blender is the best blender for making smoothie bowls (In my opinion.).

Storage Tips

Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately following their making. However, if you make a bit extra, here are your best options.

Fridge

Store this vegan smoothie bowl in the fridge for 2-6 hours. (After that it really won’t be as good.)

Freezer

Pour extra smoothie into an empty ice cube tray and freeze.
