🔪 Substitutions

Are you looking for substitutions or quicker alternatives? We got you!

Frozen wild blueberries - Even though the blueberries are the star of this recipe, you can swap them out for frozen raspberries, blackberries, or any fruit or berry blend that you fancy.
Frozen strawberries - Replace the frozen strawberries with tropical fruits like mango chunks, pineapple, or even bananas.
All-natural peanut butter - Do you have a nut allergy, or simply don't like peanuts? Go nuts and experiment with sunflower seed butter or tahini. If other nuts are no problem try almond butter or cashew butter.
Vegan protein powder - Not a fan of protein powder? Add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flax meal, or hemp seeds instead. It's a whole-food way to add extra protein and nutrition.

🫐 Variations

Get creative with your smoothie bowls! Besides swapping up the base ingredients, play with the toppings too!

Green power - Boost your smoothie bowl with some greens. Blend a handful of spinach or kale with the blueberries for a vibrant and nutritious bowl. Top it with sliced kiwi, seeds, and a handful of spinach leaves for an extra pop of green.
Chocolate - Satisfy your chocolate cravings by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or a scoop of vegan chocolate protein powder to your blueberry smoothie. Top it with dark chocolate shavings, vegan chocolate chips, or cacao nibs.
Crunchy Delights - Sprinkle your bowl with a crunchy texture using toppings like homemade granola, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts (such as walnuts, or pecans).
Creamy - For added creaminess and richness, dollop a spoonful of vegan yogurt, thick dairy-free quark, or coconut whipped cream on top. It adds a delightful contrast to the smoothie base.

The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination soar and have fun experimenting. Make sure to see our other smoothie bowl recipes for more inspiration!

🍽 Equipment

To whip up a delicious Blueberry Smoothie Bowl, you'll need just a few kitchen essentials. A high-speed blender or food processor is essential for blending the frozen fruits and creating a smooth and creamy texture for your smoothie bowl.

Measuring cups and spoons, or a scale, will help you accurately measure the ingredients for your smoothie bowl, ensuring it comes out the same each time.

Using a spatula or spoon will come in handy for scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor.

Last, but not least you need a bowl or a serving dish to beautifully present and enjoy your blueberry smoothie bowl. Have you tried serving your smoothies in coconut bowls yet? They are sustainable and so pretty!

These basic items are all you need to start creating your own delicious smoothie bowls right from the comfort of your kitchen!

🥣 Storage

While devouring your smoothie bowl fresh is the best way to enjoy it, just in case you want to save some for later (because life happens, right?), here are some storage instructions:

Pour any leftover smoothie into an airtight container and seal it with its lid. If you can store the smoothie base away from the toppings. Pop it in the fridge and enjoy it within the next 24 hours.

🍓 Benefits of Eating Berries

Berries are in fact some of the healthiest fruit to eat! They are 10 times richer in antioxidants compared to other fruit and vegetables. Additionally, they offer potential protection against cancer, a boost to your immune system, and a guard for your liver and brain.

Unlike refined sugar, their natural fruit sugar is very beneficial for your health! Berries have been shown to blunt the insulin spike in your body from high glycemic foods such as white flour. This has a variety of potential short and long-term benefits.

💭 Recipe FAQ

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones?

Fresh blueberries can be used instead of frozen, BUT they will result in a thinner drink consistency - like an actual smoothie! Using frozen berries results in a thicker, creamier, and spoonable consistency.

Are blueberry smoothie bowls suitable for weight loss?

Blueberry smoothie bowls can be part of a healthy weight loss journey when combined with a balanced diet and exercise.

Can I make a smoothie bowl without a blender?

Using a blender is essential in making smoothie bowls and blending frozen fruit together into a creamy, spoonable texture. If you do not have a blender, you can use a food processor instead.
