What is a Smoothie Bowl?

If you can make a smoothie, you can make a smoothie bowl. There really isn’t much difference except the vessel you serve it in – glass vs. bowl – and the utensil you use to get it in your mouth – straw vs. spoon. (Is a straw considered a utensil? We’ll just say it is). If you like your smoothies on the thinner side, you may want to thicken it up it for bowl status.

What really makes a smoothie bowl different from a smoothie are the toppings! In this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowl, I went with fresh strawberries, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and dark chocolate shavings.

I know I told you up above that the best part of this recipe is that it works for any day of the week, not just today’s holiday, but truly the best part is that it’s all for you! This recipe serves just one! Of course, you could double it up and serve two if you wish, but I’m giving you permission to allow yourself to enjoy a little something just for you. You deserve it!

Dark Chocolate Shavings

You see those beautiful little curls of dark chocolate? Yeah, those aren’t optional. 🙂 Without them, we would just have a Strawberry Smoothie Bowl. Which is actually delicious in itself, but come on! It’s Valentine’s Day – we need our chocolate fix!

A vegetable peeler and a good quality dark chocolate bar is all you need to make those cute little chocolate curls. But but but, chocolate chips would work fine in a pinch as well.

  1. This is a gorgeous smoothie bowl! I see so many smoothie bowls on Instagram but they are always sooo over the top and overly filled and yours looks just perfect. Strawberries and chocolate, simple and just the best to me. I’ve never had a smoothie bowl before, I don’t really drink them either, but I’m pretty sure this would totally be a big hit with Olivia. She loves smoothies and ice cream!

    • Oh, I totally know what you mean. Half of the ingredients in those bowls are inedible it seems. This was totally like eating ice cream with toppings…but healthy! Thanks, Brandi!

  5. What a lovely way to start the day. It’s such a pretty colour and with the oats and cashew butter, plus toppings, it will keep you going for hours. I find smoothie bowls much more satisfying than a regular smoothie because of the toppings!

  9. This sounds so delicious! I love that you’ve used cashew butter & oats for thickness. I usually go with frozen banana, but I’m not always in the mood for banana. This sounds like a delicious alternative – plus extra protein!

  13. Gosh this looks delicious!! Pinning this for summer time, smoothie bowls are my favorite, go-to ‘lazy mom’ dinner 😜

    • I’ve never thought to serve them for dinner, but it’s truly such a great idea! Thanks, Emily1

  14. Gosh I just want to dive into this with a giant spoon! Such a great blend of heart healthy ingredients to enjoy this season!

    Reply

    • Thanks, Jessica! And easier than dipping each individual strawberry and waiting for it to set. 🙂

      Reply

  22. I still haven’t jumped on the smoothie bowl train, because drinking it from a straw is so much easier! LOL! BUT this flavor combination sounds amazing and might make me a bowliever.

    Reply

    • HaHa, yes!!! I’m totally more of a smoothie through a straw girl, but the bowl way makes it feel more like an ice cream treat! 🙂
