Toppings for smoothie bowls

Topping are one of the best parts of a smoothie bowl. I topped off my sweet strawberry kiwi smoothie treat with some homemade vegan gluten-free & nut-free granola, sliced kiwi, and coconut flakes. However, you can top your smoothie bowl with whatever you like!

Fresh versus frozen fruit

The key to making thick and creamy smoothie bowls is by using frozen fruit. Adding frozen fruits to your blender, will thicken your smoothie. You want your smoothie bowl thick, 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. 

Tips for making the perfect smoothie bowl

  • Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick consistency.
  • Start off by only adding 1/4 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.

Smoothie bowl Q/As

Can I make it a smoothie?

Sure! This smoothie bowl can be as thick or as thin as you desire. Increase the liquid from 1/4 cup to 1 cup, to make it a smoothie.

Can I add protein powder?

Absolutely! To increase the protein content of this smoothie bowl, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. I suggest adding a vanilla flavor protein powder for this Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie Bowl.

Can I make this smoothie bowl banana free?

Yes, replace the frozen banana with a 1/2 cup of extra frozen strawberries.

Can I make this smoothie bowl in advance?

Unfortunately, no. I do not recommend making this Strawberry Kiwi 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.
