Key Ingredients

Frozen Berries: I used a combination of frozen blackberries and frozen raspberries, but any kind of berries will work.
Beets: I used precooked beets that I bought at Whole Foods. You can cook your own beets or even used raw beets. If using raw, you’ll want to peel it first and then cut it into smaller pieces, so that it’s easier to blend.
Banana: A frozen banana adds more sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie bowl.
Greens: I added a handful of kale to get some greens in. If you’re not the biggest fan of kale, you can use spinach, arugula, or completely omit.
Non-dairy milk: You only need a little liquid to blend, since it’s a smoothie bowl. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk that you enjoy.
Flaxseeds: Flaxseeds are loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional and can be replaced with chia seeds, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

Tips for Making the Perfect Smoothie Bowl

To make the perfect smoothie bowl, make sure to follow these recommendations!

Be sure to use a frozen berries, frozen beets, and a frozen banana, to achieve a thick consistency.
Start off by only adding 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk and only add more if needed.
Use a high-speed blender, with a tamper, to ensure that your smoothie bowl achieves a thick and creamy texture.
Place your serving bowl in the freezer before you begin preparing this recipe and remove it when smoothie is ready. This will ensure that your smoothie bowl stays cold as you enjoy it.

Fresh versus Frozen Fruit

The key to making smoothie bowls extra creamy is adding frozen fruit. Through adding in frozen fruits to your smoothies, you will achieve a thicker result, so that you can add toppings, without them sinking. Also, don’t add too much liquid, because it is a smoothie bowl after all. I usually start with a little non-dairy milk and add more, if needed, until I reach the desired thickness.
