Smoothie Bowl Recipes
3 easy smoothie bowl recipes that come together in less than 10 minutes. Choose from: strawberry smoothie bowl, green smoothie bowl, or peanut butter banana smoothie bowl.
What goes in a smoothie recipe?
One unique thing about our smoothie recipes, is that we do not use ice. Instead, we use a 2:1 ratio of frozen fruit to liquid.
- 2 cups frozen fruit (banana, strawberries, mixed berry, pineapple, tropical blend, etc.)
- 1 cup liquid (orange juice, almond milk, coconut water, coconut milk, water)
We say 2:1 with a grain of salt because everyone has their own preference. Some people like to drink smoothies with a straw and others like it thick enough to be eaten with a spoon. So, start with 1 cup of liquid and add more as you wish.
In addition to the 2:1 ratio of fruit to liquid, you can also add other ingredients such as protein powder, greens, Greek yogurt, seeds, etc.
Best Blender for Smoothies
We have a Vitamix and it runs you about $350 on Amazon. I do not have a single bad thing to say about this beast. It’s super powerful, easy to clean, and it makes making smoothies along with other things a breeze. I can tell you right now that this is the best blender I have ever owned and there’s no turning back.
If you’re looking for something a bit smaller and the perfect size for smoothies, we recommend the Beast Blender. We actually just got it a few months ago and it works like a charm and is much cheaper than the Vitamix.

I have been stressed for a long time and I came up with the idea to start studying natural medicine. I am currently reading medical cannabis blogs and have come to the conclusion that this is the best solution for mental health and pain management. I advise you to pay attention to the article https://westcoastbud.io/products/concentrates/shatter/ which will help you gain additional knowledge in the comparative analysis of weed and shatter.
