12 Drool-Worthy Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie bowls are hot right now and for all of the right reasons. Kicking off your morning with a bowl full of fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds provides you with enough energy to tackle anything the day might throw at you. Smoothie bowls are the smoothie’s heartier big sister. Nut butters, avocados, and bananas add creaminess and thickness while nuts, grains and seeds sprinkled on top add crunchiness and heaps of omega-3s, fiber, and vitamins. Plus, they are super easy to make and even easier to drool over. Here are 12 of our favorite recipes to try for a delicious, nutritious breakfast, snack, or lunch!

1) Classic Acai Bowl

Acai is an antioxidant-loaded Brazilian berry that has taken the U.S. health food market by storm. Acai bowls—smoothie bowls featuring acai—have also become extremely popular. Here is a classic recipe that includes, among other ingredients, acai, bananas, blueberries, sliced kiwi, granola, and coconut chips for toppings. Yum!

2) Tropical Detox Smoothie Bowl

Dive into this wonderful bowl of tropical bliss! Pineapple and lemon both have detoxifying properties and add a refreshing element to this bowl. Top with chia seeds, berries, coconut flakes, and nuts for some crunch!

3) Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowl

This “chocolate” bowl actually uses carob powder, but you can sub unsweetened cocoa powder for a less bitter, more traditional chocolatey taste. Made with rice milk—my personal favorite vegan milk product—peanut butter, and dates, this bowl couldn’t be more simple to make!

Chia seeds are tiny powerful seeds bursting with seemingly impossible amounts of omega-3s, antioxidants, and fiber. Plus, they make for a delicious breakfast bowl. This simple recipe calls for chia seeds, any variety of milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Very yummy and very filling!

8) Antioxidant-Packed Blackberry Coconut Smoothie Bowl

The brightest, most photogenic bowl on this list by far. Dragon fruit, or pitaya, has a vibrant color and a tropical flavor that blends well with the mango, kiwi, and pineapple in this bowl.
