A big thank you to Just Blends for creating delicious and healthy superfood powders and for sponsoring this post!

There are a gazillion green smoothie bowls out there just begging to be put in a blender. So how do you know which one to choose and if it will taste good? And what about those suspicious sounding ingredients like spirulina and zucchini? Well, my friends, I have a green smoothie bowl recipe for you that is packed with superfoods but is also sweet, creamy, and delicious…even without avocado!

Super Greens Smoothie Bowl Made With Just Blends

I like to add this smoothie bowl into my holiday season breakfast rotation to make sure I’m getting my greens in before the temptations of the day begin, which makes me feel a bit like a hero in my own story. It sure is a handy recipe to have in your back pocket when you know the dessert board will be loaded!

Super Greens Smoothie Bowl

What makes a green smoothie bowl taste good?

A balance of sweet fruit with neutral tasting veggies and an acid (sounds odd but adding lemon juice or a splash of vinegar really brings the flavors alive) blended with a healthy fat makes a green smoothie bowl taste like dessert instead of tasting “healthy”. Then you can add in other superfoods like spirulina, chia seeds, and Just Blends Supergreens to make the bowl nutrient-dense without compromising on flavor.

What’s in this Super Greens Smoothie Bowl?

Fruit: Ripe bananas, sweet pear, and plump dates are all that are needed to naturally sweeten our smoothie bowl. I promise, it really does taste sweet!

Green veggies: Spinach and zucchini are two incredibly healthy veggies that have a very mild taste. They essentially disappear into the other flavors of the smoothie bowl.

Superfoods: A green smoothie bowl wouldn’t be complete without a variety of superfoods. I’ve chosen spirulina, chia seeds, and Just Blends Supergreens, which turns our bowl into a nutritional powerhouse.

Healthy Fat: Full-fat coconut milk helps all the flavors in the smoothie bowl come together. It also makes the bowl rich, creamy and filling.

Spirulina, a blue-green microalgae, contains the highest protein percentage per ounce of all protein, whether plant or animal-based. Just one teaspoon contains a whopping four grams of protein and is one of the most nutrient-rich foods on earth!

The Peas Be Green Smoothie Bowl (Raw & Vegan)

The Peas Be Green Smoothie Bowl (Raw & Vegan)

I’m rather sentimental about this raw green smoothie bowl recipe because it’s the first smoothie bowl recipe I ever created. Who knew that blending fruits and vegetables (and nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes) could be so delicious! I pretty much became a blend-a-holic after that, combining as many different whole plant foods that my imagination would allow.

This green vegan smoothie bowl is ridiculously thick and creamy, almost like pudding. The creaminess comes from the avocado and bananas. Peas are also a naturally sweet legume. And, when combined with fruit, make the whole bowl seem more like a dessert than a healthy breakfast.

Smoothie bowls are such a quick and simple way to get loads of nutrients all in one, easy to digest, meal. And, you can customize the toppings to your heart’s content, like fresh berries and your fav granola. Once you discover the joy of creating smoothie bowls, you can easily add them to your breakfast rotation, depending on what ingredients you have on hand.

If you make this recipe, I’d love to hear how you enjoyed it in the ratings and comments below. And be sure to share your creations on Instagram and tag me @vegeta.full.

The Broccoleany Smoothie Bowl

The Broccoleany Smoothie Bowl

The Broccoleany Smoothie Bowl

Jump To Recipe

What was your favorite vegetable growing up? As a kid, mine was definitely broccoli. The reason why I liked this cute, tree shaped brassica, was because it didn’t taste “vegetabley”. Broccoli, once steamed until soft, becomes wonderfully mild and neutral tasting. Typically, we think of broccoli as a side to savory dishes. But its mild flavor is essentially undetectable in sweeter dishes too, like smoothie bowls. (kinda like how zucchini disappears in zucchini bread)

The flavor that shines through in this green superfood smoothie bowl is lemon. Each delicious bite tastes bright and citrusy, almost like pie filling, but refined sugar free, sweetened only with fruit. Just stuff all that healthy goodness into a blender, blend until creamy, and top with your favorite nuts and seeds for added nutrients and crunch.

It’s so satisfying to sit down to a sweet and creamy, dessert for breakfast treat, while getting 4 different types of green vegetables at the same time. Savory broccoli, sure….sweet broccoli…heck yah!

The Clean Green Smoothie Bowl

The Clean Green Smoothie Bowl

The Clean Green Smoothie Bowl

Jump To Recipe

If you are new to the world of green smoothies and feeling cautious about eating that bright green color, I promise, after the first taste, you will be excited to spoon up some spinach. Green smoothies are such an easy and delicious way to add superfoods to your diet. The star of the show, spinach, is nice and mild, which allows the sweet pineapple and spicy ginger to really shine through. I like to use full fat coconut milk in this recipe which adds a luxurious creaminess, but feel free to use regular coconut milk or coconut water to make it a light breakfast or an energizing snack. This is my go-to bowl if I’m short on time and need to get in some tasty quick greens. It’s also comforting to know that you’re eating multiple servings of fruits and vegetables even before heading out the door! This nutrient dense smoothie bowl tastes wonderful topped with fresh figs, pineapple and coconut flakes. But it makes a great backdrop for almost any mix-ins you have on hand, from fresh berries to your favorite granola.

The Clean Green Smoothie Bowl Ingredients (vegan, gluten & oil free)

Ingredients

2 large ripe bananas

½ cup of full fat coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can)

1 inch piece of raw ginger, skin on and sliced

1/8 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of frozen pineapple chunks

2 packed cups of fresh spinach

Fresh figs, pineapple and coconut flakes for toppings

Makes 2 bowls

The Clean Green Smoothie Bowl Method (vegan, gluten & oil free)

Method

1. First add the bananas and the coconut milk to your blender container. Feel free to use regular or lite coconut milk if you prefer. But, full fat coconut milk makes for a richer, creamier and more filling smoothie bowl.

2. Next add the raw ginger and the salt. So why not peel the ginger? Simply because it’s not necessary! Fresh ginger peel will be undetectable after blending. Leaving the peel on also wastes less of this flavorful, root not to mention time digging around all those nooks and crannies with a vegetable peeler or a spoon.

3. Now it’s time for the frozen pineapple chunks and the spinach. 2 cups of packed spinach is about 2 large handfuls.

4. Secure the lid on the container and blend, starting on low and working up to medium speed until the ingredients are creamy and fully incorporated. This will take about a minute or more depending on your blender. If you have a Vitamix, use the tamper to push the food down and around toward the blade. Or just stop and scrape the sides of the container as needed.

5. Pour the sweet green mixture which will be the consistency of a thick smoothie into two bowls and top with fresh figs, pineapple and coconut flakes.

Enjoy as a superfood breakfast or an energizing snack!

The Pistachio Almond Smoothie Bowl

Jump To Recipe

Just like the beloved pistachio almond ice cream, you’ll go nuts over this pistachio almond smoothie bowl. I’ve taken the same great combination of flavors and given them a whole food plant based twist. The base of our smoothie bowl is white beans which are undetectable in taste and, combined with the healthy fats of pistachios and avocado, make it a totally delicious protein bomb. It blends up into a beautiful pale green color that comes naturally from the avocado. I love to add in a small zucchini with the skin on for an extra green vege boost. This is a smoothie bowl I crave after a long run or just when I’m extra hungry, as the dense nutrients of the nuts, beans and avocado, blended with sweet bananas and dates, are super satisfying and filling.

winter smoothie bowls resized for blog (37 of 42).jpgThe Pistachio Almond Smoothie Bowl Ingredients (vegan, gluten & oil free)

Ingredients

1½ cups of white beans (1 15 oz can) drained and well rinsed

2 large very ripe bananas

4 large pitted medjool dates

½ cup of unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon of almond extract

1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt

1 ripe avocado

¼ cup of shelled pistachio nuts

1 small zucchini (about 4”) optional but recommended

Cherries, coconut flakes, chopped pistachios for toppings

Makes 3 bowls

The Pistachio Almond Smoothie Bowl Method (vegan, gluten & oil free)

Method

1. First up let’s add the base to the blender container followed by the sweeteners. These are the beans the bananas and the dates. If using canned beans, drain and thoroughly rinse the beans to avoid a beany taste. One 15 oz. can is approximately 1½ cups. If you have cooked dried beans, just measure out 1½ cups. Very ripe bananas are naturally very sweet and, along with dates, make for a pleasantly sweet smoothie bowl without adding any refined sugar.

2. Next add the liquids and the flavorings: the almond milk, almond extract and salt. Don’t worry, your smoothie bowl won’t taste salty; adding salt will just help marry all the lovely flavors together.

3. Now comes the fun part, adding in the healthy fats. These are the avocado (peeled and de-stoned) and the shelled pistachio nuts. These ingredients add a wonderful creamy richness, keeping you full for a long time. I also like to add in a small zucchini for an extra vege boost. Zucchini blends up wonderfully creamy, and has a mild almost undetectable flavor. They also give the smoothie bowl a nice overall texture and color.

4. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend on medium speed util creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary or by using the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using. If the mixture is not swirling freely while blending, just add in a bit more almond milk.

5. Scoop the lovely pale green mixture, which will be the consistency of loose pudding, into three bowls and top with cherries, chopped pistachios and coconut flakes.

2 large ripe bananas

2 large medjool dates, pitted

1 large ripe avocado

2 cups of fresh spinach, packed

Method

1. First, add the liquids to the blender container: ¼ cup of full fat coconut milk and the zest & juice of 1 medium lime. You can easily zest and juice your own lime by zesting the lime first on a microplane and then cutting it in half and squeezing out all of the juice, fishing out any seeds. Follow this by adding the sweeteners: 2 large ripe bananas and 2 large pitted medjool dates.

2. Next add the base: 1 large ripe avocado and 2 packed cups of fresh spinach. Last, but not least, is 1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt. Adding salt to your smoothie bowl will help marry all the lovely flavors together.

3. Secure the lid on the blender container and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary or by using the tamper if you have a Vitamix. This may take up to a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you use.

4. Scoop the bright green, creamy mixture, which will be the consistency of loose pudding, into two or three bowls and top with pineapple chunks and coconut flakes. Enjoy as a delicious healthy breakfast or nutrient dense snack!
