Berry Superfood Smoothie Bowl

Learn how to make a smoothie bowl with this delicious, antioxidant-packed recipe! Almond butter gives it protein and amazing PB & J flavor.

vegan / gluten free / breakfast

This scenario happens often: I get on a smoothie kick, and I make the same one again and again and again. Same time, same place, same smoothie. Tell me that this happens to you too? This berry-spinach smoothie bowl recipe is my new latest obsession.

Why You’ll Love this Smoothie Bowl Recipe

• It tastes amazing. Instead of banana, I add a scoop of almond butter for creaminess (and a little protein). As a result, it has a hint of PB&J flavor – it’s SO delicious and also husband-approved. Which means that I’m pretty sure it would be kid-approved too.
• It’s easy to keep the ingredients on hand. Because frozen berries and almond butter make the creamy, cold base of this bowl, you can easily keep the ingredients on hand without them spoiling.
• It’s packed with antioxidants and other nutrients! Its flavor is hidden, but spinach adds extra vitamins to this already antioxidant-rich breakfast. If you top it with hemp seeds or walnuts, it will also give you a good dose of omega-3s. You could eat this as a healthy breakfast, but we also love it for dessert.

Smoothie Bowl Topping Ideas

For my superfood smoothie bowl toppings, I use coconut flakes, hemp seeds, whole blueberries, and crushed freeze dried strawberries. Freeze dried strawberries are a new-to-me ingredient, but – um, wow – I’m hooked on them. They have such an amazing concentrated strawberry flavor. If you can’t find them, skip ’em, but they’re definitely a fun ingredient to seek out. Other good topping options would be almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or your favorite granola.

   My sister-n-law has given me a new add in for my morning smoothie. Beetroot powder. I just put in 1 tsp before I mix it all up.

    Berries and spinach are a delightfully delicious combination in a smoothie and somehow you feel healthier after having it.

    Beautiful! I’ll have to look for some freeze-dried strawberries–such a good idea! I think the last time I had them was in a cereal I used to love…never thought to just buy them on their own!
    Great recipe!

    I adore the tartness of freeze-dried strawberries. But I haven’t added them to a smoothie yet. With the weather warming up here (on good days, anyways) I’ve been making spinach and berry smoothies too, so I’ll have to try this addition. And yes this combo is an addictively-easy repeatable formula for me too.

    I’ve been running into so many beautiful smoothie bowls that I’m totally inspired to make my own. I love how vibrant the colors are in yours and the fact that it’s got a spoonful of almond butter. Delish!

    Now here’s a smoothie I could go for. I have an absolute revulsion to bananas (childhood trauma) and cannot bear the smell or taste of them. Smoothies always seem to rely on them for thickening. I’ll definitely give this a try.
