Blueberry smoothie bowl
Instructions
Tips
To make a blueberry smoothie bowl thick, rich, and creamy, use a frozen banana rather than a fresh one. Frozen fruit acts like ice, providing a chilly thickness without watering down the flavour. Use a ripe, frozen banana for maximum flavour and sweetness.
Tips
Also, if you do not have Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt or skyr instead. The result will be very similar, with only minor textural differences. Regular yogurt will give you a less dense, smoother result, while skyr will yield a thick and creamy texture.
Tips
If you want to make your blueberry and banana smoothie bowl look even more stunning, spend a bit of time arranging the toppings in a decorative pattern. Of course, it does not affect the flavour, but it will affect the overall presentation.

Make a delicious blueberry smoothie bowl
A banana and blueberry smoothie bowl full of flavour and texture makes for a terrific start to the day. The Greek yogurt base ensures a rich, dense bowl with a thick, creamy mouthfeel. Its tangy flavour is balanced by the addition of coconut milk, which imparts a subtly sweet, tropical taste. This taste pairs nicely with the yogurt as well as the blueberries that give the bowl its beautiful purple colouring. They are sweet with a hint of tartness, ensuring a blueberry coconut smoothie bowl brimming with freshness.
With sweet banana and refreshing raspberry
The sweetness of the smoothie base is owed in large part to the banana. Its sweet taste harmonises beautifully with the blueberries' tart-sweet notes as well as the slightly sour raspberries used to top the smoothie bowl. Not only does the humble fruit provide a lovely, sweet flavour, but it also helps ensure the thick texture you would expect from a blueberry banana smoothie bowl. This thick texture supports the various toppings, preventing them from sinking to the bottom and allowing for an even distribution. This way, you are sure to get a bit of everything in each spoonful.
Crunch, crispness, and freshness on top
Shredded coconut, with its tropical sweetness and satisfying crunch, offers a delightful contrast to the smooth base of the bowl. So do chia seeds with their subtle crunch and slightly nutty flavour. Granola contributes with its own distinctive crunch, and the toasted ingredients within it usually provide a comforting, earthy taste. The honey drizzled over the top lends a natural, floral sweetness harmonising the rest of the flavours, while the fresh blueberries and raspberries introduce a bright, juicy pop to every spoonful. All these toppings add textural contrast and layers of flavour.
Fresh flavours and a tempting colour
The saying goes that we eat with our eyes first, and there is nothing quite like a colourful, visually pleasing dish to stimulate your appetite and make your meal extra enjoyable. Beyond aesthetics, the vibrant colours of this one signal an abundance of fresh ingredients, each packed with their signature flavours.
