If you happen to follow me on my private instagram account you may have seen some of my smoothie bowls. I love them, I call them my second breakfast and create my own mix just the way i like it. For a long time I just didn’t know at all how to make those fruity colorful bowls. So I read everything I could find on the internet and created my very own basic recipe. Generally I love a good basis because a good basis allows room fror creativity to unfold – not only in the kitchen. In this post I will let you in on what my basics are and give you a few tips!

All the kitchenware you will need is a hand-held blender, a bigger cup and a small kitchen knife. I personally use the „Zauberstab“ from ESGE, a Swiss brand known for its high quality materials, its longevity and its powerful engine (I’m a sucker for powerful engines…). It’s better to invest some money in good kitchenware – my blender is indestructible and chaffs everything!

Coconut milk is always my basis – you can also use almond milk, oat milk, rice or soy milk. For two years now I try to avoid dairy products as much as I can, as I am only able tolerate a small amount of it.

To achieve a creamy consistency and also for the reason that they’re healthy, i always cut one babana into my bowl. Depending on how creamy you want your bowl to be you can add more or less milk. Just try!

Afterwards I continue with nuts, berries, magic powders and so on! Nuts contain important and good fats, which cover our nerves and ensure better brain function. If I put a handful of different nuts into my bowl I can tick this off my to-eat-list.

Berries, especially blueberries are rich in nutrients. You can find them deep-frozen in your (organic) super market. I usually buy a berry mix.

Tip: you can put every fruit you want into you bowl, but I wouldn’t suggest kiwis, figs or pine apples. These fruits are becoming bitter in the process.

Next step are the magic powders. There are a few of them, like spirulina, maca, stinging nettle and so on. Most of them aren’t that delicious but if I mix them into my smoothie bowl, the bowl remains delicious and I can use their super powers, hehe. If I want to I can also add some curcumin powder and flaxseed or pumpkinseed oil (essential fatty acids).

Dates are perfect for sweetening. They are very delicious, they aren’t too too sweet and they’re super healthy.

Mix everything with your blender. Afterwards I add some oats (so I can get my daily amount of folic acid) and put the mix in a small bowl.

Now we continue with the topping. No boundaries! My favorites are corn flakes, chocolate oats, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds and goji berries. But as I said, no boundaries! You can do whatever you like!
