Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowl – this quick and easy dish will have you thinking you’re eating dessert for breakfast….but it’s actually healthy!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today’s recipe works perfectly as a gorgeous holiday breakfast, but it’s perfect for any day of the year.

Even though it’s healthy, it tastes decadent and could even double as a dessert.

It comes together in under 5 minutes and you can customize the toppings to your liking. So, who’s ready for a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie Bowl?!

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. Using less liquid will accomplish this, but I like to add thickeners that add extra nutrients, like rolled oats, nut butters or chia seeds. 

What really makes a smoothie bowl different from a smoothie are the toppings! The added flavors and textures that garnishes bring make it feel more like a meal than a traditional sippable smoothie does. In this delicious recipe, I went with fresh strawberries, coconut flakes, sliced almonds, and dark chocolate shavings.

Are Smoothie Bowls Healthy?

This dairy free bowl of goodness is creamy, thick, delicious, and decadent. It tastes like dessert, but go ahead and indulge because it’s actually healthy!

It has protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. It’s also, gluten free, oil free, and sugar free – sweetened only with fruit. 

Should I use Fresh or Frozen Fruit?

I definitely recommend using frozen fruit! Frozen fruit will thicken the recipe better than fresh fruit. Frozen fruit also acts as the ice, making it cold and frosty like any good smoothie (bowl or not) should be, without watering it down.

Smoothie Bowl Toppings

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. Chocolate chips would work fine in a pinch as well.

I’ve also opted for fresh strawberries, coconut flakes, and sliced almonds along with the chocolate.

Other delicious topping ideas: sliced banana, toasted cashews, granola, hemp seeds, etc.
