Additionally, smoothie bowls are also a treasure trove of nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables and a lovely variation to smoothies from a glass. Perfect for breakfast, a post-workout meal, or a healthy snack. Here, we present a small selection of smoothie bowl recipes and share our essential preparation tips.

The Bowl Base: The Perfect Smoothie

The foundation of every great smoothie bowl is, of course, the smoothie itself. For a pleasant creamy base, follow these tips:

• Use frozen fruit to give your smoothie a thick, ice cream-like consistency.
• Don’t add too much liquid, so you get a creamy, but not too liquidy smoothie.
• As a liquid, besides water, homemade nut milk like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut water works well depending on the recipe.
• If you want your smoothie bowl to be particularly filling, incorporate protein sources such as nut butter.
• We also recommend using a powerful high-speed blender capable of quickly and efficiently processing even the toughest ingredients like frozen fruits, nuts, or ice cubes into a creamy-fine mixture. This gives your smoothie bowl the perfect texture.

The Bowl Toppings: A Feast for the Eyes

The best part about preparing smoothie bowls is the toppings. Here, your imagination and creativity have no limits: with fruits, nuts, granola, coconut flakes, nut butter, flowers, or bee pollen, you can create optical masterpieces in no time that add a culinary twist to your smoothie routine.

Instruction

1. Preparation of the Granola: Melt coconut oil and mix it with maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Bake for about 12-14 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) using convection heat, turning once in between. The granola will keep for several weeks in an airtight container. You can add it to muesli, porridge, or yogurt, or use it to top your smoothie bowl.
2. Preparation of the Nut-Chocolate Smoothie: Blend all the ingredients using a blender until the mixture is nice, creamy, and uniform. Then divide the nut smoothie into 3-4 bowls and top with a few tablespoons of the homemade granola. Finally, decorate it in a cozy winter-holiday style, for example with cut-out apple stars, pomegranate seeds, or other fruits, along with a bit of nut butter. Enjoy it from the heart!
