Why You Will Love This Smoothie Bowl Without Frozen Fruit

Whilst, of course, a smoothie bowl without frozen fruit may seem really strange, but I think you will enjoy this recipe as much as I, because:

Creamy Texture: The use of creamy ripe bananas and avocado provides a naturally creamy texture that is both satisfying and decadent, perfect for a smoothie bowl base.
Rich & Sweet Flavor: The combination of cacao powder and honey creates a rich, chocolatey flavor that is naturally sweetened, making it feel like a treat while still being healthy.
Highly Nutritious: This smoothie bowl is packed with nutrients. It includes healthy fats from avocado and coconut milk, potassium from bananas, antioxidants from cacao, and a variety of vitamins and minerals that support overall health.
Energy Boosting: The healthy fats and carbohydrates provide a sustained energy release, making this smoothie bowl a great option for a filling breakfast or a rejuvenating midday snack.
Customizable: This base is versatile and pairs well with a variety of toppings. Add nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, granola, or coconut flakes to add texture and additional nutrients.
Quick and Easy: With no need to chop or thaw frozen fruit, this smoothie bowl is incredibly quick to prepare. Simply blend the ingredients and it’s ready to eat.
Diet-Friendly: Suitable for vegetarians and can easily be adapted for vegans by choosing honey alternatives as a sweetener. It’s naturally gluten-free and lactose-free.

If you enjoy this smoothie without frozen fruit, I recommend that you try my smoothie without fruit and my low sugar chocolate avocado smoothie!

I personally love this smoothie bowl exactly as it is, but if you need to make some changes or want to, here are some of my suggestions:

Protein Boost: If you are not vegan, swap the coconut milk for thick Greek yogurt. Alternatively, add a scoop of protein powder.
Superfoods: Throw some chia seeds, nut butter, or other superfoods you like or have.
No Honey: Swap the honey for maple or agave syrup.
No Chocolate: Swap the cocoa powder and use peanut butter powder instead, or a scoop of flavored protein powder.
No Avocado: Swap the avocado for either canned pumpkin, or cooked sweet potato, or use more banana.

Chill All Ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before blending is a crucial step. That’s because you still want a cooling taste. On top of that, I recommend that you also chill your serving bowl.
Blend Thoroughly for Smoothness: Even without frozen fruit, you can achieve a creamy texture by blending your ingredients thoroughly. Let your blender run a little longer to ensure all components are smoothly blended.
Use Ripe Soft Bananas: This ensures your smoothie bowl comes out creamy and sweet.
Add Liquids Slowly: To control the thickness of your smoothie, start with a smaller amount of liquid and gradually increase until you reach the desired consistency. This technique prevents the smoothie from becoming too watery without frozen fruit.
