Smoothie bowls: yay or nay? I LOVE them, which is obvious based on the number of smoothie bowl and acai bowl recipes I’ve posted on the site, as well as the frequency with which I make them for breakfast and go out to local juice bars to get them.

But, some people don’t see the point. “Why do you need to EAT your smoothie with a spoon?” they say. “Who has time to sit and eat a smoothie?” they ask. I’ve seen smoothie bowls on a whole bunch of lists of food trends that have gotta go in 2017.

I’m here to revolt against that, because at least over here, smoothie bowls are here to stay. When I drink a smoothie, I never feel like I’ve had a real meal. I can’t drink a meal through a straw and get the same satisfaction as a meal I ate with a fork or spoon – no way.

When I’ve had a smoothie bowl though, thick and creamy and loaded with delicious crunchy + fruit toppings, I definitely feel like I’ve had a meal, and it’s enough to keep me going through the morning. Bonus – they’re so refreshing, and absolutely delicious.

When I was a kid, strawberry banana smoothies were my favorite. They were my go-to whenever one of my parents made me a smoothie. Strawberries and bananas are still two of my faves! But really…I think they make an even better smoothie bowl than they do a smoothie!

Mostly because I can add EXTRA bananas and strawberries and other goodies on top. However, you can totally have it as just a smoothie if you prefer. This Strawberry Banana Smoothie Bowl couldn’t be much easier to make with just three simple ingredients for the smoothie base.

I went to my neighborhood Ralph’s to shop for my strawberry banana smoothie bowl goodies. While I was there, I grabbed Silk Unsweetened Coconut Milk to use as the blending liquid for my smoothie. The slight coconut taste makes me swoon and I love how creamy it makes the bowl. I find the banana adds enough sweetness for me. If you prefer more sweetness, you can use the original Coconutmilk.

I also headed over to the healthy snack aisle and grabbed some Freeze Dried Strawberries & Bananas to top my bowl with. They’re so good I could eat them all on their own! They make the perfect crunchy topping for my bowl, especially paired with fresh strawberries and banana slices.

A sprinkle of chia seeds rounded out the top of my bowl and provided some extra nutrients too. If you want more crunch, you can find a ton of nuts and snacks that are perfect for topping your bowl near the Freeze Dried Strawberries & Bananas in the healthy snack aisle at Ralph’s, too. I wanted to grab all the delicious-looking Simple Truth snacks!

    YES! I’m all about smoothie bowls. It just seems more fun to eat it with a spoon! :) And you make the best smoothies, Rachel! Strawberry banana smoothies are one of my favorite flavors, so I am especially loving this bowl. Wish I could dive right into this for breakfast!

    I have never had or made a smoothie bowl and I feel like I’m missing out on something wonderful. So I’m inspired by your beautiful (and no doubt delicious!) strawberry banana version. Putting this on my must-make list right now!

    Big fat yay to smoothie bowls. I just feel fuller after I eat them as opposed to plain ol drinkin a smoothie. I love this pink tint!

      Same here! I think actually eating with a spoon, as opposed to drinking, tells your body to feel fuller. Thanks Annie!

    I know exactly what you mean! When I drink a smoothie through a straw it doesn’t fill me up nearly as much.
    This looks so good, and the light pink color is so pretty!

    Your strawberry banana smoothie bowl looks sooo creamy and delicious! :) I’m definitely all about smoothie bowls too. The thicker texture is more appealing to me and who can say no to the opportunity to pile on the toppings? haha

    I tried the strawberry and banana smoothie bowl but used regular milk. My smoothie turned out much more liquid and less thick then it looked in your picture. Do you think this is because of the milk I used. Regardless of the consistency the bowl was still delicious!!

    Reply
    • Rachel says

      September 26, 2017 at 8:04 am

      Hi Olivia, I don’t think it would be because of the difference in milk, but sometimes blending for too long can thin it out. If you’d like it thicker, you can always add a bit of extra frozen fruit or use close to a 1/4 cup of milk. So glad you enjoyed it, though!

    I’m currently eating this delicious smoothie bowl! I’m very happy right now! The only thing I did differently was put in some pumpkin seeds just for an extra kick of protein. Tastes really good! For the toppings I also deviated, but it’s still amazing!

    I don’t know if it was because I didn’t use frozen bananas or what but I wasn’t even close to thick enough and very underwhelming

      Hi Hanah, that would definitely be the reason – frozen bananas are what give the smoothie bowl its thickness. Without those, it would be super runny, as you mentioned. I recommend you try the recipe as written so you can experience it as intended!

    Eating this right now so delicious! I didn’t do the frozen banana because i wanted to try it now, so my consistency is a little thinner but that was expected. Thanks for the great recipe!

      Hi Gabby, so glad you’re loving it! Frozen banana will definitely make it thicker (and IMO more delicious), so hopefully you’ll try it that way next :D

    i made this smoothie today , i absolutely loved the taste , however i did substitute the coconut milk for almond milk , i loved the way it tasted and i can’t wait to make this again in the future , but i was wondering …. if you make a smoothie bowl the night before how do you keep it thick ?

      Hi Destiny, I’m so glad you loved it! Coconut milk sounds like a delicious substitute. I typically make them fresh, so haven’t had experience with keeping them overnight, but I’d recommend keeping in the freezer and letting it thaw slightly before eating.

    I really loved this recipe! I used plain milk and it turned out fine, however I did have to add quite a bit more milk to make sure my NutriBullet could handle it. It made a lot of smoothie, so I’m leaving it in the fridge to have for lunch. Overall this is a great recipe- like eating ice cream for breakfast
