My smoothie bowl recipe is made by creating a thick fruit smoothie and then topping it with a chocolate coconut oil mixture that quickly hardens to create a shell. I have been wanting to try this for a while now and let me tell you – it was so worth it! A thick sweet smoothie bowl topped with a chocolate shell! Oh my!

This Magic Shell Smoothie Bowl uses a healthy “nice cream” as its base, which you can enjoy on its own or top with a chocolatey shell that’s irresistible! The true star IS the chocolate shell. It takes this creation into decadence territory, with its chocolatey sweetness and crisp snap after a quick freeze. It’s the perfect individual breakfast, snack or dessert.

Magic shell is such a simple, genius concept. It’s essentially chocolate melted with coconut oil and when it’s drizzled over something cold – like a smoothie bowl, ice cream or milkshake – it firms up into a hard, shell-like consistency – hence the name “magic shell.”

To make the sauce, you melt coconut oil with chocolate. Once the sauce comes into contact with the cold ingredients, the coconut oil reverts back to it’s solid state, creating the hard shell…it’s magic!

Any excuse to eat dessert for breakfast….(a review from a reader!) “Wow, I made this for the first time today, and now I don’t think I’ll be buying ice cream for a *very* long time! This came out just PERFECT! Since it’s made with just a couple of simple ingredients, I don’t feel bad having it in the morning for breakfast or even as a dessert!”

Smoothie bowls largely use the same ingredients as a regular smoothie but rely on more frozen elements and much less liquid. This means that, when blending, the fruits become a deliciously creamy, thick, soft-serve consistency.

You can then transfer this creamy and refreshing mixture to a bowl and its also so incredibly easy to transform it into a heartier, balanced meal with various add ins or toppings that provide protein, vitamins and nutrients to fuel your day. Then to top it off, you add the magic shell to take it out of the stratosphere!

Why you will love this recipe:

Easy: Make this fruit smoothie bowl with 6-7 ingredients in about 5 minutes. Keep the fruits in your freezer, and you can enjoy a smoothie bowl any time!

Healthy: This smoothie bowl is a healthy breakfast filled with nutritious ingredients that are high in antioxidants and vitamins from the fruit and avocado. It’s a great way get in some healthy vitamins first thing in the morning.

And guess what it is SO easy to make! All you have to do is blend up the frozen fruit and milk (any kind of fruit that you want). Then, melt some chocolate and pour it over. Then harden the chocolate in the freezer and crack it open! The only words I can muster are “Holy Yum!”

The viral Magic Shell Smoothie Bowl is definitely worth the hype its created on social media internet websites. Its an internet sensation and makes for the perfect breakfast, especially when you are looking for a quick and simple dish for those busy mornings.

I was watching some videos the other day and saw someone cracking open chocolate on a smoothie bowl to reveal the smoothie underneath! How fun is that to surprise someone with – especially your kids!

I hope I have convinced you to give a thick pour of magic chocolate shell over your smoothie bowl – to experience the simultaneously creamy and crackly, both smooth and shattery. But the real mind-blowing thing about it? It’s a snap to make…

…and its all for you. No need to share!
