17 Super Smoothie Bowls From Dietitian Bloggers
Have you traded in your glass for a bowl?
I'm somewhat late to the smoothie bowl craze (hence there's only one smoothie bowl recipe on our blog to date) but I figured it's better late than never to start to make them a more consistent part of my and my 8 year old's eating routine.
So, I asked my fellow food-loving dietitian bloggers for their favorite smoothie bowl recipes and boy, did they deliver. With this round-up, you could enjoy a new smoothie bowl recipe every day for over two weeks and never get bored.
Speaking of boredom, we all get into food ruts/routines and smoothie bowls are a great way to bust out of that same breakfast you eat every day or a fun way to switch up your regular smoothie in a glass.

Because the base is fruit (sometimes with milk) and the toppings are typically made up of more fruit, nuts and seeds, you can see how these can pretty healthy - not to mention a tasty way to get more nutrition into your day.
And smoothie bowls are a fab way to get the kids in the kitchen:
- Start with a smoothie recipe you know they already like
- Let them use the blender (with supervision for younger kids)
- Set up a topping bar so they can chose their toppings like fresh/frozen or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, shredded unsweetened coconut and nut butters
- Serve familiar toppings along with one or two new foods - they're more apt to try new foods out along side familiar foods and when they are in control of the quantity of the meal

Have you tried smoothie bowls yet? What is your favorite ingredients/toppers? Have you tried with your kids and do they like them? Would love to hear from you!
Currently craving a big ol' smoothie bowl-these all look so delicious! Thanks so much for sharing my Wild Blueberry Smoothie Bowl 🙂 My 14 yo is a fan of smoothie bowls, so I'll definitely share these recipes with her so she can whip some up for the whole family. Love Liz and Janice's Smoothie Bowl coloring book too!
Of course - thanks for sharing it with me! I can imagine these would be a big hit with some teens - lmk which ones she likes the best 🙂
What a great round up, and those coloring pages? So fun! Thanks for sharing my Chocolate Peanut Butter Green Smoothie Bowl - pinning now so I can try some of the others!
I know - I'm so excited to try out so many of these - isn't that coloring book the coolest idea? Thanks for sharing your post!
Wow. Thanks for such a delicious roundup ... and for sharing our recipe and e-book! You are the BEST. Can't wait to blend up some new ones.
Of course - no brainer to share your brilliant coloring book - can't wait to make all these bowls!
What a great idea for a roundup and so many delicious combos! Thank you for including mine. 🙂 I think I NEED to make one this morning.
I know -I'm on a kick! And it was so fun to read about your time in Hawaii and clearly you were "on trend" before these acai smoothie bowls hit the mainline. I remember when my aunt and uncle visited Hawaii a few years back and said they had acai bowls every day. Ahhh, dying to get back there now (for many reasons 🙂
I love a good green smoothie! And they are so much more fun when eaten out of a bowl, right?
Such a good point - more fun with a spoon! Admittedly, I don't like to drink my leafy greens (though I had cilantro in a smoothie once with pineapple and oj and it was delish 🙂
I haven't quite gotten on the smoothie bowl bandwagon yet, but the Meal Makeover Mom's Coloring book and this round up, I'm all in. Thanks Deanna. They all look amazing.
Wonderful round-up. I'm on a smoothie kick right now. When I have a little more time I like the bowl method, but often times I'm drinking them on the go!
Ah yes, that is the down side of the smoothie bowl. Not exactly an on-the-go type of meal. I'm thinking weekend topping bar with my daughter vs. during the school week 🙂
Yay! I love these all! And such a great idea to have the kids help! You know I'm all for that!
Thanks for the list Deanna. The Acai smoothie bowl looks delish. Just pinned this.
Hi, Deanna
Thanks for putting all the great smoothie recipes together. It's really helpful. I'm a great fan of smoothies. My kids also enjoy them. The "Acai Berry Smoothie Bowl" is sounds delicious to me. I will try it soon.

Yay - thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for sharing, I love smoothie bowls!
The stigma of healthy food = bland taste continues to be popular these days. After browsing through the recipes you've provided, I realized that healthy can be tasty! And it needs planning and discipline to follow it.
