Smoothies are best eaten with a spoon! Make this thick and delicious Blueberry Smoothie Bowl recipe and top it with nourishing ingredients for a healthy breakfast idea.
I’m a huge fan of eating smoothies with a spoon with tons of toppings on top to really round out the meal. Ask my husband, 9 times out of 10 I’m eating my smoothie in a bowl.
This smoothie bowl recipe is made with fresh, wholesome ingredients like blueberries, bananas, chia seeds, and Medjool dates. All you have to do is blend everything up in a blender and serve in a bowl with your favorite things on top.
What is in this Blueberry Smoothie Bowl?
Frozen bananas: The secret ingredient that turns your smoothie bowl into a velvety, dessert-like treat. Check out how we freeze bananas.
Frozen blueberries: Add a burst of sweetness and a gorgeous purple hue.
Medjool dates: Nature’s candy, right here! Medjool dates aren’t just for sweetness; they bring this rich, caramel-like flavor that takes your smoothie bowl to dessert-level indulgence.
Chia Seeds: Add a subtle crunch and some healthy fats.
Unsweetened almond milk: Helps thin out the smoothie bowl without adding a bunch of calories. Plus, it’s dairy-free!
Toppings: We used what we had on hand — coconut flakes, kiwi, blueberries, chia seeds.

How do I make a thick smoothie bowl?
We recommend using a high speed food processor instead of a blender to make thick smoothie bowls. For one, you need less liquid to make a thicker smoothie. For two, blenders can get jammed up if they don’t have enough liquid.

Tips & Notes
Nutrition information is without the optional protein powder and NO toppings.
You can make this recipe into a blueberry smoothie or a blueberry smoothie bowl. For more of a meal, make a smoothie bowl with more toppings.
We suggest using frozen blueberries to make this smoothie. Fresh blueberries will give you a thicker mash rather than a smoothie.
The dates add a delicious sweetness to the smoothie.
Feel free to add a scoop of protein powder to get your protein in. We love Teras Whey and Garden of Life.
