I hope y’all are having a great summer so far! Down here in Texas, it’s been SO hot and humid (100+ degree temps!), so I’ve been enjoying lots of fresh fruits and raw veggies lately, including these delicious summer smoothie bowls. So, today, I’m going to share 3 of my favorite Smoothie Bowl Recipes that you have to try!
If you’ve never tried a smoothie bowl, it’s essentially the same thing as a smoothie but thicker. A smoothie bowl is meant to be eaten with a spoon, not a straw, and layered with all sorts of delicious, healthy toppings. Personally, I love smoothie bowls, especially in the hot summer months because they’re so refreshing, light, and hydrating.
Below, I’m sharing three of my go-to smoothie bowl recipes that I’ve been enjoying this summer. All of them are gluten free, paleo, and vegan (if you use a plant-based protein powder).
#1 – Tropical Green Smoothie Bowl
My tropical green smoothie bowl is super tangy thanks to the kiwi, so if you love tangy foods, you’ll love this one!

Ingredients
1 Frozen Banana
1-2 Kiwi
1 C. Frozen Mango or Pineapple
1-2 Kale Leaves, de-stemmed
1/4-1/2 C. Almond or Coconut Milk
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. **Tip: Start with only 1/4 C. of liquid because you want the consistency to be thick enough to eat with a spoon. Then, add more liquid, if needed.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and add your favorite toppings. I like to add things like pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chopped nuts, fruit, shredded coconut, almond butter, cacao nibs, etc. ENJOY!
#2 – Blueberry Blast Smoothie Bowl
This smoothie bowl is full of Vitamin C, which is great for your skin and immune system. The frozen blueberries really give this one a slushy texture, which I love!
Ingredients
1 C. Frozen Blueberries
1 Frozen Banana
1/2 C. Frozen Pineapple or Mango
1 Scoop of your favorite protein powder (I use Unflavored Collagen Peptides)
1/4-1/2 C. Almond or Coconut Milk
Directions

#3 – Wake Me Up Sunshine Smoothie Bowl
