ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Introduction

Smoothie bowls are so much more than just a smoothie you eat with a spoon—they’re an opportunity to blend flavors, textures, and temperatures while maintaining the healthy components of a typical smoothie. Not only do you get a delicious smoothie as the base of the bowl, but you get toppings—cut-up fruit, drizzled nut butter, flaky coconut, crunchy nuts and seeds—that give each bite a more distinct texture as well as the opportunity for flavor variation bite by bite.

Anatomy of a Smoothie Bowl

A smoothie bowl has three basic parts: the base, the toppings, and the add-ins. The base is the carrier—think of it as the ice cream underneath your sundae toppings. This is where the difference between a smoothie and a smoothie bowl becomes apparent: keep the base simple, just enough to taste great and fill up your bowl, but leave some of the more subtle flavor additions for the toppings.
