Blueberry Smoothie Bowls
Blueberry Smoothie Bowls have become a recent obsession, combining frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, a banana, and milk. They can be a meal replacement, a snack, or even dessert. So delicious and refreshing!
Blueberry Bowls
Summertime is smoothie time and that’s great news for us. My hubby does a lot of yard work, and we try to get a workout in most days, so smoothies are often our go-to snack after a sweat session.
Smoothies or smoothie bowls are often a meal replacement for me. Add a scoop of protein for an extra boost!
Why We Love Smoothie Bowls:
- SIMPLE – These smoothie bowls are super simple to make and use basic ingredients.
- NUTRIENT DENSE – These have healthy carbs, calcium, protein (13 grams!), fiber, potassium, and iron. There is no added sugar.
- DELICIOUS – My favorite fruit is blueberries so of course, these are delicious. You could also use another berry – strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, or a combination of these.
- GREAT SNACK OR LIGHT MEAL – These make a great post work-out snack or a light meal.
Blueberry Smoothie Bowls have all the good stuff.
- Blueberries – Use both frozen and fresh.
- Dairy – Use your favorite milk. We use almond milk, but you could use regular milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or whatever you like best. You’ll also need some yogurt. We normally use Oikos Greek yogurt.
- Banana – The banana helps keep the smoothie creamy. You could use some avocado instead, if desired.
- Nuts – Use any kind of nut or seed – pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped almonds, cashews, or almonds.
- Chia Seeds – We keep these in stock for our Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats.
The best part? You can make these smoothie bowls in five minutes, especially if you have a great blender. My guys surprised me with a Vitamix for Mother’s Day, and I’ve been a smoothie queen lately. Love it SO much.
