Are Smoothie Bowls actually healthy?
Smoothie bowls share a lot of the same health benefits as regular smoothies, but it is important to note that there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Whilst smoothie bowls can be inherently healthy, try not to overdo it with large portions.
Recipe Ideas
You can experiment with lots of different ingredients for the smoothie mixture and the toppings, such as:
- Berries such as raspberries, blackberries and blueberries
- Fresh pineapple of diced mango
- Sliced bananas
- Sliced peaches, plums or pears
- Seeds such as chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp
- Chopped or sliced nuts such as almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews and macadamia nuts
To thicken up your smoothie bowl, the best option is to use frozen fruit but you can also also ice if desired.
