If you love Nutella, I don’t even have to tell you why you will love this smoothie bowl, BUT, this smoothie bowl is like eating Nutella ice cream.
It’s so indulging, sweet, and satisfying. On top of that, kids LOVE this smoothie bowl. I have tested it on my nieces, and honestly, it’s always a hit with them.
Other reasons include:

Smoothie Bowl Variations & Recipe Notes:
You can change the chocolate smoothie bowl recipe easily should you want to.
Below are some suggestions:
- Other Fruit: You can swap the banana for mango and strawberries for other berries.
- Protein Boost: Incorporate a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to increase the protein content.
- Tropical Touch: Swap almond milk for coconut milk to enhance the tropical flavor.
- Seed Boost: Stir in a tablespoon of flaxseeds or hemp seeds for added fiber and nutrients.
- Green Power: Blend in a handful of baby spinach or kale without altering the Nutella taste significantly.
Top Smoothie Bowl-Making Tips:
- Consistency Control: Adjust the thickness of your smoothie bowl by varying the amount of almond milk. Use less milk for a thicker, spoonable texture, or add more if you prefer a more runny smoothie.
- Frozen Fruit Is a Must: This smoothie bowl cannot be made with fresh fruit. Make sure you have frozen fruit ready for the recipe.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, enjoy your smoothie bowl right after blending. This prevents the ingredients from separating or becoming too ‘liquidy’ as they sit.
- Custom Toppings: Get creative with toppings to add texture and flavor. Consider using coconut flakes, cacao nibs, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
- Chill Your Bowl: Place your serving bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before adding your smoothie mixture. This helps keep everything cool and thick, especially on warm days.
