Key Ingredients

This berry cashew smoothie is creamy and perfectly sweet, so it actually tastes like you’re indulging into berry soft serve. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

Mixed Berries: I used frozen raspberries & strawberries, because this duo adds a boost of antioxidants, vitamin c, and fiber to the smoothie and gives it a pretty pink color.
Frozen Banana: A frozen banana adds more sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie bowl!
Cashew Butter: Add a touch of creaminess & healthy fat with a some cashew butter. Creamy peanut butter or almond butter works too, but cashew butter tastes so much better in this!
Non-dairy Milk: You only need a little liquid to blend, since it’s a smoothie bowl. I used unsweetened cashew 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, 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 tips!

Use a frozen banana and frozen berries to achieve a thick consistency.
Start off by only adding 1/3 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 is using frozen fruit. By adding 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.

Smoothie Bowl FAQ

Can I make this smoothie bowl a smoothie?

Absolutely! This smoothie bowl can be as thick or as thin as you desire. Increase the liquid from 1/3 cup to 1 cup, to make it a smoothie.

Can I add protein powder?

Yes! To increase the protein content of this smoothie bowl, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. I recommend using a vanilla flavor for this smoothie bowl recipe.

What if I don’t have cashew butter?

Don’t have cashew butter? No problem. Simply replace with a 2 tbsp of cashews or substitute cashews for peanut butter, almond butter, or your favorite nut or seed butter.

Can I make this smoothie bowl banana free?

Certainly, replace the frozen banana with an additional 1/2 cup of frozen cauliflower.

Can I make this smoothie bowl in advance?

Unfortunately, no. I do not recommend making this Berry Cashew Smoothie Bowl in advance. However, you can definitely prep all the ingredients, the night before, by adding them to a zip lock bag. That way, in the morning, all you need to do is add the ingredients, along with non-dairy milk, to your blender.
