Clean Green Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are kind of my favorite thing ever. Sipping a smoothie is handy, especially if you’re on the go; but if you really want to make a smoothie more meal-like and special, thicken that sucker up and pour it into a bowl!

I love that smoothie bowls are quick to make and even easier to smother in healthy toppings than regular old smoothies that you drink through a straw. Not only do smoothie bowl toppings make things a little more fun, but they also take a slightly-filling smoothie into the actual-meal category.

Smoothie bowls satisfy us better than their drinkable counterparts, too, because you can eat them with a spoon. They feel more like a legit meal, particularly when covered with our favorite smoothie toppings.

Breakfast, lunch or dessert – a smoothie bowl recipe is a treat any which way you enjoy it! It tastes like a delicious milkshake and it’s pure, creamy, healthy, heaven in a bowl.

This smoothie bowl recipe is super green and gorgeous thanks to the addition of spinach and some fresh sprigs of mint to add the brightest and perkiest taste, and to even add in some antioxidants, fiber, and Vitamin A to the smoothie bowl party.

Frozen bananas provide a super creamy texture, while mango sweetens the deal and provides plenty of plant goodness. Avocado and chia seeds thicken the mixture and are great for nourishing fatty acids and nut milk helps to blend the whole thing together.

People sometimes ask, are smoothie bowls actually healthy?

I say you betcha. Smoothie bowls are every bit as healthy as regular smoothies. They are loaded with fruit, and as long as you keep the toppings healthy, too, they are maybe even more healthy than old-fashioned, through-a-straw smoothies because they are delivering even more fiber and good fat and protein.

One of the best things about this smoothie bowl recipe is that it’s more a template than a recipe. You can play around with the ingredients all you want.

If you want this as post-workout treat, consider adding protein powder to the mix! Or if you aren’t crazy about bananas, swap in whatever fruit you love (or happen to have in the freezer) - any berry would be terrific in this, or try pineapple for a slightly tropical vibe.

Create your own masterpiece as your go-to smoothie bowl with its own perfect soft serve like texture. You can enjoy a delicious healthy dessert like treat for breakfast, lunch or a snack, colorful, tasty and easy to make. Doesn’t get any better than that!
