How To Create A Thick Vegan Smoothie Bowl: Healthy Summer Recipe

Jump to Recipe

The one tricky part about making a fruit smoothie bowl is learning how to make a thick smoothie with that creamy texture. I have figured out exactly how to get the perfect texture every time with just one simple ingredient. This is a super easy and healthy vegan breakfast (or dessert) idea that takes 5 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients needed for Vegan Smoothie Bowl Recipe:

For Smoothie:

• Use frozen fruit of your choice! – For this recipe, I used a frozen tropical blend with strawberries, pineapple, mango, and peaches. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility—you can customize it based on your cravings and what’s available. Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice cubes that often water down the flavor without compromising consistency.
• A well ripe banana – Using a well-ripe banana is key to achieving a creamy consistency in your smoothie bowl recipe. A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and a smooth texture. I use one ripe banana per serving.

For Toppings:

You can customize your toppings as you like. Here’s what I used today.
