Smoothie Bowl Recipes
Smoothie bowl versus smoothies – what really is the difference? It depends on the recipe, but typically it’s the thickness of the smoothie! Typically smoothie bowls end up a bit thicker than normal smoothies so it’s easier to eat with a spoon!
One reason that I love a smoothie bowl is the fun ways you get to jazz up the top! I love adding some freeze-dried fruit, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey to the top of mine! You could add coconut shavings, dried fruit, fresh fruit, honey, yogurt, granola, you name it! The fun is adding all the different toppings!
Protein Add-ins
I love a good morning smoothie, but sometimes I find myself hungry after just an hour if the smoothie doesn’t have a lot of protein in it! I love getting the nutrients from the fruit and veggies, but sometimes I need that extra protein kick!
This recipe calls for a scoop of protein powder, and you can use whichever one you prefer! I like to use a vanilla protein powder that helps add a touch of sweetness to the smoothie. If you’re not a fan of protein powder, or you want to add even more protein, you can add in half an avocado if you’d like!
Now, I think I said ‘protein’ enough in that paragraph so let’s move on to the recipe (and the good stuff!).
Ingredients
- Ice
- Frozen Blueberries
- Oats
- Chia Seeds
- Vanilla Protein Powder

See recipe below for all the details!

Variations and Substitutions
This Protein Blueberry Smoothie Bowl is my new breakfast addiction! Here are a few other ways to enjoy this breakfast!
- Berry Blast – add in some other frozen berries, like raspberries, to bump up the flavor!
- PB&J – add some peanut butter to the top for a little extra protein and a delicious dose of nostalgia
- Cinnamon – add a few sprinkles of cinnamon to the smoothie before blending to add a bit of warmth to the recipe!
If you need a delicious granola to add to the top, try out this Pumpkin Spice Granola!
Equipment
Blender – The only required piece of equipment is a blender! You could also use a food processor if you like! I recommend using a large blender for this recipe! If you only have the cup or single serve blenders, then I would break the recipe into two parts and do half the mixture at a time to make sure everything blends together!
Top tip
The best part of this smoothie bowl is everything you can add to the top! Think of this like the chili of breakfast food – the fun is in the toppings! Add coconut, fruit, honey, granola, yogurt, you name it!
Storage
- Unfortunately, this bowl doesn’t hold up well, so its best to make it right as you ready to eat it!!!
FAQ
To get the perfect creamy consistency, I recommend using frozen blueberries! They’re a great option that you can enjoy year round!
Yes! I use oat milk because it’s what I prefer, but you can sub in whatever milk best fits your diet!
You can leave it out if you prefer! If you don’t like protein powder, you can always add in an avocado to help add some extra protein to keep you full!
Cheers!
