Why I Love This Strawberry Smoothie Bowl
Strawberry smoothies are a classic. But strawberry smoothie bowls? Even better!
You can add all your favorite toppings and customize it as you want.
But, that’s not the main reason why I love this smoothie bowl!
Here are some of the main reasons:
- Naturally Sweet: The strawberries provide a vibrant, natural sweetness that makes the bowl fruity and tasty, without any artificial sweeteners.
- Rich and Creamy: Greek yogurt and peanut butter add a creamy, satisfying texture that enhances the smoothie experience.
- Protein Boost: Greek yogurt and peanut butter both contribute protein, making this bowl filling and nutritious.
- Simple and Quick: Easy to blend and prepare.
- Versatile Base: Perfect for adding various toppings like granola, seeds, or more fruit for extra texture and flavor.
If you enjoy this smoothie bowl, I recommend that you also try my 147 calorie smoothie bowl and my raspberry smoothie bowl!
Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes:
- The Liquid Base: You can use water, coconut milk, or coconut water as an alternative to oat or almond milk.
- Chocolate-Flavor: Chocolate and strawberries are a popular combo. Achieve an irresistible sweet strawberry chocolate bowl by adding 1 tbsp cocoa powder to the recipe!
- Nutritional Boost: Add a handful of spinach, a tablespoon of chia seeds, and even matcha powder for a boost of nutrients and antioxidants.
- If You Are Vegan: Swap the dairy yogurt for vegan yogurt. I have tested coconut yogurt, and it works great!
Strawberry Smoothie Bowl Preparation Tips
- Blend Until Silky Smoothness: Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly blended to obtain a smooth, creamy consistency. Utilizing a high-power blender is ideal.
- Frozen Fruit Is Key: Using frozen fruit is essential for this smoothie bowl. If you don’t have frozen strawberries, the recipe won’t work.
- Pre-cool Your Bowl: For a longer-lasting chilled smoothie, put your serving bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before preparing your smoothie bowl.
- The Toppings: Enhance both texture and taste by adding toppings of your choice. No smoothie bowl is completed without toppings!
- Consume Immediately: This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed ice cold and tends to start melting soon after blending. It should be eaten within 10-15 minutes of preparation.

- Sliced bananas.

I personally love using my Nutribullet 600 to make smoothie bowls.
But, 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.
