Smoothie Bowl
Good morning friends! I'm Darian and I can't wait to share my favorite smoothie bowl recipes with you today. As a busy mom of three kids and two dogs, quick and healthy breakfasts are a must at our house! Smoothie bowls have become our go-to morning meal because they're packed with fruit, protein and fiber. The best part is you can customize them a million different ways. I'll give you my pro tips for making the perfect smoothie bowl, fun ways to top and serve them, frequently asked questions, and why whipping up a smoothie bowl is my favorite morning ritual. Let's dive in!
Equipment
- 1 bag
- 3 bowls
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 3 Bananas
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 Dates
- 2 cups Frozen fruit
- 1 tsp Chia seeds
- 1 tbsp Sunflower seeds
- 2 Kiwi
Instructions
- Chop up 1 banana, place it into a bag ( I really like the Stasher bags, but any Ziploc bag will work) and toss it into the freezer. It's best to do this the night before, that way the banana gets really frozen. If you plan on making lots of these, then chop up lots and toss them all in the freezer that way whenever you want to make a smoothie bowl the frozen bananas are ready.
- Place the 2 dates into a bowl of warm water and let them soak for about 15 minutes.
- Using your blender toss in 2 cups frozen fruit, 1 frozen banana. Blend for about 3 minutes.
- While thats starting to blend, quickly chop up your dates.
- After 3 minutes of blending, open up the blender and add in the dates and coconut milk.
- Continue to blend for another 3 minutes.
- While it's continuing to blend, peel and slice your kiwi and banana.
- Once done, and the smoothie is a thick consistency pour into 2 bowls.
- Place the kiwi and banana on top of each bowl, and sprinkle on the chia seeds and sunflower seeds.

Notes
Place your coconut milk into the fridge before use, once it has been in the fridge it becomes thicker which works really well for the smoothie bowl.
Your fruit can be whatever fruit you chose. Swap out kiwi for strawberries maybe, the possibilities are endless. Same goes for the frozen fruit, use whichever frozen fruit you prefer. We personally like a mixture of strawberry, banana, and kiwi for our frozen fruit.
