Smoothie bowls are our go-to breakfasts because they take just 5-minutes and are a satisfying, nutrient-rich, plant-based option!

What is a smoothie bowl?

A smoothie bowl is basically a thick smoothie you can eat with a spoon! It contains similar ingredients as smoothies, but it’s more substantial and filling!

Are smoothie bowls healthy?

Smoothie bowls can be healthy and rich with fiber, protein, healthy fats, complex carbs and probiotics! With that said, you’ll want to watch the toppings added because they can be high in sugar and high-calorie.

Adding protein to your smoothie bowl

You can add in vegan protein powder to boost your protein! Another option would be to add in nut butters which contain protein.

Can you make a smoothie bowl the night before?

Yes, you can make your smoothie bowl the night before, but we recommend keeping your toppings in a separate container to keep them from getting soggy. 

Easy Chocolate Vegan Smoothie Bowl Ingredients

How to Make Your Easy Vegan Smoothie Bowl

  1. Have your ingredients convenient to grab.
  2. Blend everything but your toppers in the blender until creamy.
  3. Pour the smoothie into a bowl.
  4. Add your toppings to the bowl.
  5. Eat up!

Tips to Making It Delicious!

  • Skip the ice! Using ice in a smoothie bowl leaves it watery, and you can also have random chunks of ice floating around in it.
  • We like frozen fruit or to let a smoothie bowl (without toppings) get really cold first!
  • If possible, let your frozen fruit sit out for 10-20 minutes to get a little soft before blending to keep it creamy and smooth!
  • Blend it until smooth and delicious!
