Just because it’s winter, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy an amazing berry smoothie bowl. While summer is when fruits—berries, peaches, and melons—are at their seasonal best, you can rely on frozen fruits during the cooler months to fuel your kitchen with flavor and nutrition. Frozen fruit—harvested ripe and frozen quickly—is packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. No wonder diets rich in fruits (fresh, canned, frozen or dried) can help protect against chronic diseases.
This easy Dazzling Winter Berry Smoothie Bowl is filled with frozen berries, and layered with nutrient-rich smoothie bowl toppings. This Dazzling Winter Berry Smoothie Bowl is healthy enough for your next breakfast, lunch or filling snack. And it’s family friendly—the whole family will love this yummy, healthy meal.
How to Make a Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls are so easy to make! Just blend together ingredients like you would a smoothie, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and a bit of liquid (plant-based milk, juice)—just enough to moisten the mixture without making it too thin.
Aim for a spoonable texture instead of a sippable one. How to make smoothie bowl thick? I add flax seeds or chia seeds into the recipe, which can offer a bit of thickening qualities to the smoothie bowl, especially if you let it sit for awhile.
Plant-based gluten-free, and free of added oils and sugars, this 7-ingredient vegan smoothie bowl can be whipped up in under 10 minutes. You can also change up the ingredients—swap out a different type of fruit (peaches, mango, pineapple) or toppings (walnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds) as desired.
Make a double or triple bath to enjoy meal prep smoothie bowls all week long.
