Spring is here and if you are like me, you are ready for some beautiful, fresh looking food that fits well with sunshine and soft breezes. I want to thank the beautiful weather we are having for inspiring this smoothie bowl.
Sometimes it is difficult for my mornings meals to be as balanced as I would like. I am constantly running from the minute I wake up during the week, so I might grab a piece of toast with hummus and my cup of coffee and go! When the weekend comes and I have some more time to get some creative and healthy foods on the table I am one happy momma.
I didn’t know what to expect from my 7, 5 and 22 month old when I changed it up from our regular old smoothie and presented them with this smoothie bowl. But, they absolutely loved it, ate it up, and asked for more. They loved being able to pick and choose their own toppings and decorate their smoothie bowl, so that was a bonus! Anytime they can take ownership of the food they are eating is a win-win situation at our house.
I want to thank the good people over at Sunwarrior for supplying me with their fabulous products to take this smoothie bowl up a notch. I added some of their raw, vegan, sprouted and fermented vanilla protein and raw supergreens. I love getting some extra health benefits out of my meals especially when I am feeding them to my children.
I love that smoothie bowls give us a fresh new way to enjoy our smoothies and they are so beautiful to look at, don’t you think so? I just feel good eating these types of meals and also feeding them to my family.
If you start out your day with a healthy breakfast like this one, it will give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and set the stage for an amazing day!

- ½ cup frozen diced pineapple
- 1 packet Sunwarrior Classic Vanilla Protein

Looks delicious!
It’s hard for me to get a balanced and healthy breakfast in me. It’s a priority now.
I need healthy right now, I’ve kind of been bad with eating sweets lately! lol
I’ve never heard of a smoothie bowl – how interesting! I like smoothies, but I find that sipping my meal isn’t as satisfying as eating it. And I like the idea of adding your own toppings – yum!
I’ve been seeing smoothie bowls all over instagram so I took a shot at won, it’s like doing banana ice cream and getting creative adding some cool toppings, super yummy and refreshing! =)
I love sunwarrior products, I bake with them often and they are usually in my overnight oats!!
so good in overnight oats!!
I had my first smoothie bowl a few weeks ago and I am hooked! They are so delicious. This one looks amazing, I’ll definitely be trying this recipe!
I agree, they are so delicious!!!
I’m in love with green smoothies – but haven’t tried them in a bowl. I know that it’s important to actually CHEW something to get your digestive process started – so I love the idea of the toppings too! I’ll be trying this definitely!
it’s really good this way Karen! let me know how you liked it! =)
I love Smoothie bowls! SunWarrior is one of my favorite protein powders as well. Just blends so well and tastes awesome. Beautiful pics!
me too, makes smoothies so much more fun and filling imo =)
Wow what a delicious look bowl that is! It’s so vibrant looks like I can just reach through my computer screen and grab it lol. This is a truly a great reinvention of that traditional smoothie and I really like the health benefits too. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Nikki! I need to make some more of these to share with you all, LOVE SMOOTHIE BOWLS!
I have made many smoothies, but never thought about making a smoothie bowl. Great idea! One of my favorite smoothies is to blend bananas, pears with juice, vanilla yogurt and baby spinach. You can’t even taste the spinach, but get a lot of nutritional value.
putting those veggies in the smoothie is such a great way to “sneak” those veggies into your diet, especially if you don’t love veggies, as you said, you can’t even taste them! thanks for stopping by Kate =) xoxoxo
I haven’t tried smoothies but the way it was presented makes me want to try. Nowadays, it is better to eat healthy to avoid problems.
I agree ErikaSam, makes me feel so good when I eat as healthy as I can =)
It is so nice to make our own food and being healthy at that. This makes us in control of what we eat and add toppings to make our food enticing.
so true TonyE!! thanks for stopping by!
Hi, there, I really love smoothie’s!!, either fruit, in greens, in a bowl and etc…I was then first introduced to this kind by one of my foreign British Employers. I am an Asian, typically we don’t practice this kind of lifestyle before. But when I first tried and made it with a fresh Orange fruit, and with some ice and put it on a smoothie maker, wow!, this is really good!!Then on I loved experimenting and eating with this kind of foods. It brings joy and creativity in the table because of its natural colors, its fresh orchard scent and the taste of being “One in Nature”. And I believe from the saying”what you Eat is what You Are”.
We love smoothies over here too, the kids demand them! heehee such a great way to get kids and adults to experiment with different fruit combinations!
This looks delicious. I’ve recently been experimenting with 3-day smoothie detoxes and have found my energy has gone up, along with my mental capacity, and general well-being! I can’t wait to try this recipe, I will be swapping the Sunwarrior brand for one of my choice, but I love the recipe!
Thanks Evan! I love a good detox and I know when my body needs it, let me know if you try this recipe, would love to hear how you like it =)
It looks and sounds really good. I will be making a folder and saving all of these recipes for future use. I like that you make things that are kid friendly. My kids aren’t picky eaters, but they are critical of their food. 🙂
Come back and let me know if your kids approve this too! Thanks for stopping by Cassandra! =)
We usually have this smoothie in a bowl everyday especially during summer’s or whenever the day is really that hot here in Asian country. Preparing any smoothie recipe would not give so much headaches or stress. Plus the fact, that its really easy, fast, enjoying, healthy and nutritious. Though, sometimes, we take some alternatives since some the ingredients is hard to find here in Asia. So, I would say, you can just mix it up, toss it whatever combinations you would like. And I’m sure your family and friends would definitely loved it!.
I like how this is written and the Healthy options for breakfast. I am always eating a healthy balanced breakfast. Sometimes it may be hard when you don’t have the ingredients so you have to turn to something else, but I always tend to have bananas and oatmeal around.
This looks absolutely delicious! Everyone in my family has a sweet tooth, so recipes like these are total winners with us. Can’t wait to try it out.
It looks quite eye-catching and yummy. Though am from different side of the world who doesn’t used to consume those ingredients, this is something practical that I might try as an intermezzo of my Asian breakfast. I will try different combination, based on most available and affordable materials here. Thank you for bringing up this idea!
It is always easier to tempt kids, or probably everyone else, into eating things that look good. I guess visuals do play a great role in increasing their appetite for healthy food. Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first smoothie bowl I have seen. Super neat. Gonna try it!
What a fantastic idea! My whole family loves this bowl.
