Smoothie bowls, a huge trend going around social media. Seemingly unachievable smoothie beauty standards, that people on Pinterest and Instagram display. Now what’s the secret to achieving these gorgeous social media worthy bowls?  Here is how to make a smoothie bowl in four easy steps.

• Step 1)  Make your smoothie Base
  • For a thicker smoothie, incorporate more frozen ingredients and less liquid
  • Use a blender or if you want an ice cream consistency a food processor also works
  • An example for a base would be 1 cup of frozen strawberries, ¼ of raspberries, one banana, and a cup of almond milk

• Step 2)Add Fresh toppings
  • Pour your smoothie base into a bowl and add fresh fruit and vegetable toppings
  • Place your favorite fresh fruits in a column/linear pattern on top of your smoothie base: repeat this process with your vegetables (if you choose to add them)
  • An example for what to incorporate could be sliced strawberries, spinach leaves, or pineapple
• Step 3)Add dry toppings
  • Select your favorite dry toppings for your smoothie bowl
  • Arrange your dry toppings into a linear pattern like you did with your fresh toppings
  • An Example for a dry topping would be nuts, seeds, and granola
• Step 4)Add Sauce
  • Select a sweet sauce like chocolate syrup maple syrup or a nut butter like almond butter and drizzle it onto your smoothie bowl
