3. Thick Berry Smoothie Bowl
If you’re looking for thick smoothie bowl recipes, you’ll love this recipe. It’s loaded with berries (strawberries and blueberries), mango, almond milk and a hint of maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness.
What makes this bowl so thick? Peanut butter. Add a tablespoon to give your bowl a creamier and thicker texture.
All that’s left to do is add your toppings. I love adding hemp seeds and more fresh berries to mine.
4. Coconut Smoothie Bowl
Start your day with a tropical breakfast. Coconut milk blends with ripe bananas, almond milk and a vanilla bean pod to make a deliciously creamy dish that’s satisfying and nourishing.
You’ll need a little planning ahead of time for this recipe, which calls for you to freeze the bananas and coconut milk the day before you make it. To make your life easier, pour the coconut milk into an ice cube tray, so blending is easy.

A refreshing smoothie bowl recipe that’s packed with fruit and healthy toppings. You need just a few ingredients for the base of this dish: frozen bananas, frozen berries, almond milk and honey.
Blend together and top with chia seeds, shredded coconut and your favorite granola.
You can use any frozen fruit for this recipe, so if you’re not a fan of bananas and berries, you can use mangoes, pineapple, strawberries or whatever other fruit you please.
6. Pink Drink Smoothie Bowl
Inspired by Starbucks’ Pink Drink, this smoothie bowl recipe really hits the spot on a busy morning when you want something sweet and satisfying.
Blend together coconut milk with frozen strawberries, pre-steamed cauliflower, half a pack of Starbucks via strawberry acai refresher packet and a scoop of protein powder (coconut flavored works really well here).
Add whatever toppings you want. Toasted coconut chips and fresh strawberries are perfect for this bowl.
7. Dragonfruit Smoothie Bowl
Colorful, rich and delicious, this smoothie bowl will become a regular part of your morning rotation.
The frozen pitaya (dragonfruit) is the star of the show here. Blend it with some almond milk, frozen banana, pineapple and mango.
Then, top it with fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), bee pollen, kiwi, Goji berries, cacao nibs, pumpkin seeds, coconut, chia seeds and almonds.
This dish has so much flavor, and the toppings add texture. Feel free to use any ingredients you want for the toppings, but I love this combination.
8. Mango Smoothie Bowl
This is one of my favorite smoothie bowl recipes for summer. It’s a little tangy, a little sweet and a little earthy.
Just blend frozen mango chunks with Greek yogurt, a milk of your choice, turmeric and cardamom.
Add whatever toppings you want, but I prefer freshly sliced banana, blueberries, coconut shavings and chia seeds. Granola and fresh mango would also make great additions to this dish.
9. Strawberry Smoothie Bowl
Add some sweetness to your mornings with this strawberry smoothie bowl. The prep time is just five minutes, so even on the busiest of mornings, you’ll have time to make this.

10. Tropical Coconut Smoothie Bowl
Rich in protein, this smoothie bowl will keep you energized and satiated all morning long. Start with a can of coconut milk, and blend with frozen mango, pineapple and bananas. Add coconut extract for an extra kick of tropical flavor.
You can add whatever toppings you want to this bowl. Chia seeds and coconut shavings are natural choices for this dish. Granola will add some crunch, too. But sometimes, I like to add a tablespoon of almond butter and freshly sliced kiwi.
11. Watermelon & Coconut Smoothie Bowl
A simple and delicious smoothie bowl that’s perfect for summer. You need just three ingredients to make this dish for breakfast: frozen watermelon, frozen bananas and frozen coconut milk (or you can use a coconut smoothie pack).
Just blend on high until you have the texture you want. Pour into a bowl and top with whatever you want. I recommend adding cacao nibs, coconut, fresh fruit, chia seeds, and a drizzle of seed butter.
If watermelon isn’t in season and you can’t find it frozen, try melon or mango instead.
12. Cherry Pie Bowl
This is one of the simplest smoothie bowl recipes on this list, and it’s one of my favorites. The base of this smoothie is just a blend of frozen cherries, vanilla extract, almond milk and banana.
Use a high-speed blender like a Vitamix to create a thick base for your bowl. Then, top with hemp seeds, sliced almonds, chia seeds and chocolate chips. You can add a little almond butter and lemon zest if you want.
If you’re not a fan of bananas, you can try avocado or yogurt instead. The banana gives this smoothie bowl its creamy texture and adds a hint of sweetness.
13. Matcha Smoothie Bowl
If you love matcha, you’ll love this smoothie bowl. It blends matcha powder with non-dairy milk, ground flax, hemp hearts, kale, bananas, pineapple, vanilla and cinnamon.
Once fully blended, add to a bowl and top with kiwi slices, coconut shavings and fresh berries.
For best results, make sure that all of your ingredients are frozen before you start blending.
Not a fan of kale? Try spinach instead. The ingredients are quite flexible, allowing you to customize this dish to your liking.

Be sure that the lid is on tight and blend until the mixture is smooth. The author recommends blending on the highest setting. Once satisfied with the consistency, use a spatula to spoon the mixture into a bowl and then top with anything you like:

- Almonds
- Nutella

Add the mixture into a bowl, and then garnish with any combination of ingredients that you prefer: banana slices, dark chocolate chips, hemp hearts, chia seeds, toasted hazelnuts and melted Nutella.
