Taste the real rainbow with this simple fruit smoothie bowl. Even the pickiest of picky eaters will fall in love with this vitamin C-packed bowl.
The gorgeous deep purple color, thanks to the blueberries, is a favorite of many. Those tiny blueberries are jam-packed with antioxidants and contain 14 percent of the suggested daily amount of fiber in just 1 cup! Eating the rainbow never tasted so healthy and delicious!
This thick and creamy smoothie bowl recipe is a tasty treat featured in our book, Simple Green Smoothies: 100+ Tasty Recipes to Lose Weight, Gain Energy & Feel Great in Your Body! We’re so pumped to share this with you because we have a whole chapter dedicated to green smoothie bowls in the book. If you ever feel like shaking up your green smoothie routine, then smoothie bowls are the way to go!
How to make your own fruit smoothie bowl
But until you can get the book in your hands (in stores and online now), you can make your own smoothie bowl creation by simply decreasing the amounts of liquids in your favorite green smoothie recipes.
Just make sure to use as many frozen fruits as possible to create the perfect smoothie bowl texture. One of our favorite things about a smoothie bowl is all the fun toppings you can pile on it—fresh fruit, nuts, granola, chia seeds, cacao nibs, you name it! Bon appétit!

This was the first smoothie bowl I ever made and it was so easy! Adding the fresh cut up fruit on top really does get the kids excited to drink it.

I’m excited to hear about your new book and the expansion into dinner recipes. I really enjoyed the July smoothie challenge! However, I’ve fallen off the green smoothie “wagon” with the back to school hustle and bustle. So….Hooray October Challenge!!

1/2 bag (5 oz) frozen diced sweet potatoes
3 shakes of Vietnamese Cinnamon
6 dried plums
Enough Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk to blend smoothly.
Hi DiAnna,
What a happy + delicious accident! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Cheers 🙂
Not that this is anything like the book coming out, when I started making smoothies for myself and husband (although he has since given up drinking them), I took all the receipes I had been given from you folks, if I found a receipe I liked I typed it up and I currently have a three ring binder full of them! I’m sure the book will be better
