Healthy Berry Smoothie Bowl

February 3, 2024 Leave a Comment

This delicious 300 calorie berry smoothie bowl is the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert idea to satisfy a sweet tooth without the guilt!

Although I’ve been an avid smoothie drinker for many years, it wasn’t until two years ago that I was introduced to the idea of smoothie bowls. While vacationing with my husband on the shores of Lake Michigan we stumbled upon an adorable acai bowl food truck. My first bite of creamy goodness had me sold and I was determined to recreate this delectable treat upon returning home.

My homemade version was tasty, but I quickly discovered that I’m not really a fan of acai berries in general as they can be on the bitter side and lack the sweetness of more traditional berries. Acai berries are highly nutritious and touted for their high antioxidant content, but do you know what has an even higher concentration of antioxidants? Blackberries! … with blueberries not lagging too far behind.

Replacing acai berries with a mixture of frozen blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries made all the difference in my smoothie bowl endeavors. My daughter and I have since enjoyed this delicious berry smoothie bowl recipe on multiple occasions.

A typical smoothie bowl can easily contain more than 500 calories, but our petite version comes in at around 300 kcal making it the perfect light breakfast, afternoon snack or luxury dessert.

How to Make your Tasty Bowl

For this berry smoothie bowl recipe you will add ½ cup of frozen mixed berries to a food processor. I like to use a combination of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Then add in ½ ripe frozen banana (thinly sliced) and 1 TBSP of unsweetened almond milk or nut milk of your choice. Begin pulsing until the frozen fruit blends together. Then slowly add the remaining TBSP of nut milk and pulse again until the consistency is nice and smooth.

After you have your smoothie base it’s time to add in your toppings. Slice up half of a fresh banana, and add in a handful of fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of granola (Purely Elizabeth Chocolate Sea Salt is my favorite), drizzle of peanut butter, and optional cacao nibs! It’s a refreshingly cool and sweet treat to enjoy guilt free!

The frozen berry blend provides a healthy serving of antioxidants, fiber, Vitamin C, and Manganese, as well as other vitamins and minerals. Bananas support digestive and heart health. Fresh blueberries help reduce DNA damage, can lower blood pressure, and even prevent heart disease.

Apart from being one of the most delicious foods on the planet peanut butter can also help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while providing a small amount of protein and omega-6 fatty acids which are essential for healthy brain function. The optional cacao nibs contain additional antioxidants and fiber which aids in digestion.
