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!

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.

Did you know?
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!

How to make Super Greens Smoothie Bowl
Step 1:
1. Add the bananas, pear, zucchini, coconut milk, and lemon juice to a blender container, followed by the dates, chia seeds, Just Blends Supergreens powder, spirulina, salt, and spinach.
Step 2:
2. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend until creamy, starting at low speed and working up to medium and then high speed. Stop and scrape down the sides of the container, as needed, or use 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.
Step 3:
3. Scoop the bright green mixture, which will be the consistency of loose pancake batter, into 2 or three bowls. Top with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, your favorite granola, and a generous dollop of nut butter, of course!
Enjoy as the easiest energizing breakfast or mid-day pick me up snack!
