These smoothie bowl recipes will get your morning off to a great start, with the vitamins, fiber and proteins you need to conquer your day – whatever you’re doing! Check out the following top tips for creating your very own sensational smoothie bowl.

How to make a smoothie bowl

For the perfect smoothie bowl base, you’ll need three basic ingredients:

Fruits or vegetables
Water, juice, milk or milk alternative
Oatmeal, frozen banana or peanut butter to thicken

Depending on the fruits or vegetables you choose, you can also sweeten your homemade smoothie bowl with honey, coconut or maple syrup. If you prefer a thicker consistency, frozen fruit is a great option. Once you’ve got all your ingredients, put them into a blender, such as the Philips High Speed Power Blender. This will finely puree your ingredients, making them ideal for smoothies.

The best toppings for your homemade smoothie bowl

Not only will your smoothie bowl taste amazing, but adding your favorite toppings will also give you more nutrients:

Protein: Nuts are super easy to throw into your smoothie bowl. A 1 oz serving of almonds (around 23 whole almonds) contains 6g of protein, 12% of the Daily Value (50g or 0.50 cup).*

Fiber: Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, with 9.8g per oz** – they can help make your smoothie bowl more filling.***

Vitamins: A smoothie bowl should be bright and colorful. For an extra punch and more vitamins and nutrients in your breakfast, slice up a banana on the berry smoothie bowl or place some raspberries and blueberries on your acai smoothie bowl.
