Why I Love This Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

As with many smoothie bowls, they taste like you are eating ice cream.

But this smoothie bowl only contains 259 calories per serving, and it’s so indulgent, sweet, and high-volume!

Other reasons why I love this bowl include: 

1. Bursting with Flavor: The smoothie combines raspberries, strawberries, and mango – creating a fruity taste full of flavor!
2. Rich and Creamy Texture: The smoothie bowl is made using frozen fruit, which creates a creamy consistency that’s perfect for a smoothie bowl.
3. Nutrient-Dense: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, supporting overall health and wellness.
4. Easy to Make: All the ingredients go in – and blended, that’s it!
5. Naturally Sweet: The fruits provide all the natural sweetness needed, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
6. High in Fiber: Great for digestive health, thanks to the high fiber content from the berries and mango.
7. Versatile: Ideal for topping with granola, nuts, or additional fruit for extra crunch and flavor.

If you enjoy this smoothie bowl, you have to try my strawberry smoothie bowl too, and my easy blackberry smoothie bowl recipe!

Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes:

The smoothie bowl is delicious as it is, but you can swap a few ingredients and even add extra ingredients should you want to:

• The Base: Reduce the calories even more by using almond milk or oat milk instead of coconut milk.
• Protein Boost: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for 20-25g of extra protein!
• Nutritional Boost: Add a handful of spinach, and a tablespoon of chia seeds for nutrient boost.
• Creamier Smoothie: If you are not avoiding dairy, use 1/2 cup of yogurt and reduce the base to 1/2 cup. Yogurt provides creaminess, protein, and probiotics!
• Swap The Fruits: Experiment using blueberries instead of strawberries, and pineapple instead of mango!

My Top Tips:

1. Scrape The Sides: If using a food processor especially, scrape the sides off a few times to ensure an even blend.
2. Frozen Fruit Is Key: Using frozen fruit is essential for this smoothie bowl. If you don’t have frozen fruit, the recipe won’t work.
3. Put The Serving Bowl In The Freezer: For a longer-lasting chilled smoothie, put your serving bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before preparing your smoothie bowl.
4. Add Toppings: Enhance both texture and taste by adding toppings of your choice. No smoothie bowl is completed without toppings!
5. Dig In Immediately: This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed as soon as it’s blended.

I love using my Nutribullet 600 to make smoothie bowls.

It’s important to remember that if you do use a blender, it has to be high-speed.

Alternatively, I recommend that you use a food processor to make smoothie bowls.
