Smoothie bowls are similar to smoothies but tend to be thicker, so they are ‘eaten’ rather than drunk. People sometimes question whether a smoothie bowl is healthy.

Well, let me tell you, smoothie and smoothie bowls absolutely CAN be a healthy choice – so long as they are what is considered a balanced meal!

The idea of a balanced meal is one that contains – 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, 30% healthy fats. If its unbalanced, such as when you have a high amount of carbohydrates, little protein or healthy fat, it is not so healthy and will spike your blood sugar level for hours.

Balanced meals have a less severe effect on our blood sugar levels so after eating, our hunger hormone leptin decreases, and the appetite-suppressing hormone ghrelin is raised. This allows us to stay full for longer, and get on with our day without searching for a snack every half hour.

Smoothies and bowls that provide a balanced nutrient profile ARE a healthy choice. They will keep you fuller for longer, provide you with a variety of vitamins and minerals to nourish your cells, and maintain steady blood sugar levels to keep you functioning at your very best!

Sometimes people even question the high calorie nature of a smoothie or smoothie bowl.

Ah, the calorie debacle. Let’s clear this one up.

Calories are a measure of energy. Just like centimetres are the measurement units for the length of a table, calories are the measurement units for the energy in the food we eat. But what does this actually mean?

Our bodies are constantly using energy – even when we are laying at rest, the basic metabolic processes in our body need energy to keep functioning. Then, when we are going about our days, working, exercising, even just standing – our need for energy increases.

Food is the fuel for our bodies – so eating provides us with this energy. Keeping in mind the balanced meal idea, it is crucial to understand that different macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) have different caloric values and different effects on our bodies.

Protein and fats will keep you fuller for longer whereas carbohydrates provide a shorter and sharper source of energy. So despite the caloric content, a balanced smoothie bowl should keep you full and satisfied until your next meal!

Also, remember that food has much more value than just energy – it is hydrating, contains essential nutrients, provides you with mental clarity, maintains blood sugar levels, strengthens your bones, reduces out of control food cravings, boosts your immune system, and satisfies your SOUL!

Use this recipe as a template for your own creative masterpiece. Granola, coconut and raspberries are my usual choice, but sometimes, when I need a cuddle or something just yummy, I add a spoonful of almond butter and I’m in heaven!

This strawberry beet smoothie bowl is so bright and beautiful you just know it’s packed with all sorts of nutrients. Adding beets to your smoothies is a wonderful way to incorporate them into your diet. Give this creamy beet smoothie bowl a chance and you won’t be disappointed.
