Y'all, I finally made a smoothie bowl! Finally. After seeing them all over my Instagram feed. With their bright fun colors, and their frozen fruits. I kept saying, every single time that I would see one, I'm gonna make this. Well, after months and months, I did finally create one, and had to share.
Smoothie bowls are literally just smoothies poured into a bowl and topped with fruit, seeds, granola, nuts, etc. It's just a smoothie sitting in a bowl, looking pretty.
Funny thing too, it's far more filling than a smoothie made that's poured into a glass that you sip with a straw. What? Yea, I know. I think it's a brain thing. You know, you're eating something with a spoon, as opposed to just drinking something. It's gotta be a brain thing...it's the same thing!
The only difference, and I do mean the only difference is that I toss this guy back in the freezer for ten minutes, after I pour it up. This is ONLY so that the stuff I place on top doesn't sink down immediately.
I topped this Green Apple Smoothie bowl with slices of banana and apples, with a dash of chia seeds. But you can top it with whatever that floats your boat! Got granola? Top it! This Apple Pie Granola would be a great topping.
I've been mixing up smoothies and smoothie bowls since the first of January. They make a great breakfast, lunch, or quick snack. If I'm starving more than normal. I make a smoothie bowl, because like I said above, for some strange reason, they are more filling. (I'm telling you, it's a brain thing!)
What is the best blender for smoothie bowls?
I've used several cheap versions, and have found that hands down every time, the best bang for your buck is the one I have in my kitchen now, this Ninja blender/food processor. It's less than $35, and it will turn ice cubes into snow. <--- the kind you can make snow balls with.

I've been on a smoothie bowl kick lately. This one sounds amazing. I usually use acai berry. Love the idea of using green apple for a sweet & sour contrast.

Beautiful smoothie bowl!! I can totally see how having a smoothie in a bowl would make your brain feel like you were eating more of a meal than drinking it. This is a great idea and I can't wait to try yours.

I keep seeing smoothie bowls and they always sound like such a good idea, yet I haven't made one for myself (yet), this is something I REALLY need to change this year, as I think they would make a lovely breakfast.

Hahaha, I have been just like you - drooling over all the food pictures on Instagram and hoping that one day I will get myself to make them. This one here looks easily doable and yummy too. Will definitely try it out.
Karen Morse
I love smoothies but I don't think I've tried using green apples on my smoothies before. You're right about the smoothie bowl, I guess it's more filling because we also add toppings aside from the usual drink itself. It's definitely one of the things I enjoy!

I haven't eaten many smoothie bowls before, mainly cause I don't like fruit (only bananas, weird I know!) but this looks SO yum. So I'm gonna give this a go!

Is this tart? I don't find smoothies filling, but man, this one looks so refreshing and good!

It's not! There aren't actually green apples in this at all. 😉 I called it green apple, because it's green, and it has an apple in it!
