Smoothie Bowl

A few years ago, the concept of the Smoothie Bowl exploded on the internet. Millions of Instagram posts showcase bowls filled to the brim with thick, colourful concoctions, and topped with healthy ingredients. Easy and quick to make, highly customisable, and allowing for endless variety, the Smoothie Bowl also has the benefit of being healthy, giving one the feeling of staying full for a long time, and thereby reducing calorie intake. They're great meal replacements for those who are looking to intake lesser calories.

To make sure the Smoothie is thick enough that it can hold toppings and be consumed with a spoon, one can make sure to add less liquid, add protein powder, and a good amount of fruits and/or vegetables. Bananas are versatile enough to sit with several Smoothies and offer thickness if needed. Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and other healthy seeds also make the concoction thicker and more filling.

Since literally any combination of fruits and veggies work for a Smoothie, here are a few ideas to get you started:

-Strawberries, Honey, and Vanilla Essence Smoothie Bowl

-Pineapple, Banana, and Peach Smoothie Bowl

-Avocado and Kale Smoothie Bowl

-Banana and Oats Smoothie

-Mango, Banana, and Berries Smoothie Bowl

-Almond Butter and Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

-Mixed Berries Smoothie Bowl

-Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie Bowl

-Mango and Pineapple Smoothie Bowl

-Bananas, Berries, and Dates Smoothie Bowl

Add milk or yoghurt, sugar or honey as per taste, and your Smoothie is ready.

Once transferred into a bowl, Smoothies can be topped with various ingredients, a fun process for several people. Toppings can include sliced or diced fruit that’s also in the Smoothie, chia seeds, chopped nuts, granola, shaved or diced chocolate, and anything else that one thinks might sit well.
