I’ve wanted to try the new smoothie bowl craze for months now. I finally got a chance to make a few varieties and completely fell in love with them. Check out these easy to make recipes for a perfect quick, healthy breakfast!
My first attempt was a Green Smoothie Bowl. I wanted something easy and quick. Just add the following to your blender and it’s ready to eat!
- 1 banana, fresh or frozen
- 1/3 avocado
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1-2 handfuls each: spinach and kale
- 1 tsp of NutriBullet Superfood Cleansing Greens
I absolutely love my NutriBullet Blender
My toppings: frozen blueberries, granola, and chia seeds. It was truly amazing and so pretty too! This bowl quickly became a hit in my little Instagram community:
For my second attempt, I tested an Acai Smoothie Bowl from Bon Appetit. They don’t provide measurements so here are the exact ingredients I used:
- 1 Sambazon Acai Berry Pack (I found their recommended brand at Kroger)
- 1/4 avocado
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 banana
I topped mine with strawberries cut into a cute flower, walnut pieces, and chia seeds. For more great topping ideas, check out their recipe. A delicious success:
The final bowl is my favorite creation. I love cherries and chocolate, so I combined the 2 to make a must-try recipe. This KIND Dark Chocolate Granola
Cherry-Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 banana
- 1 large handful spinach
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Blend above ingredients. Top with KIND Dark Chocolate Whole Grain Clusters
Which one will you try first? I would love to hear what you think! These are all great for a sweet treat replacement as well, especially for those of us trying to avoid sugar and make healthier food choices.

Well, yum, Candace!
This sure beats the bowl of Cheerios I just polished off!

Thank you for your post on anxiety last week. I didn’t get to comment, but I did read it and appreciated the practical tips you shared …
Hi Linda! I’m really working on making breakfast a habit. These are such a great way to start the day. Always good to see you, my friend!
All these smoothie bowls look delicious. And smoothies are always so quick and easy to make that you don’t have an excuse not have an easy breakfast option.
Thank you, Sonya! They are surprisingly quick and easy. I’m looking forward to trying out some more recipes :).
You really use your creativity to make them look more attractive and tasty, Candace. 🙂 I’m not sure I’d take the time to dress them up so nicely. 🙂 Blessings and hugs to you!
Thanks so much, Trudy. I’m starting to enjoy food photography more. It’s a fun creative outlet :). Blessings and hugs to you, my friend!

Hi Candace. I’m just checking to see if this will now work after you unspammed me. Thanks so much for checking. Keep up the beautiful food displays. 🙂
I’m glad it worked, Trudy! Thanks so much for letting me know about the issue.
Okay, so I’ve seen these smoothie bowls before and haven’t given them a try yet. They seem like such a unique and nutritious idea! Will definitely have to give it a whirl!
