Haaay, friends!

I’m still going strong with the “New Year, New You” theme, and today that includes a healthier (and prettier!) way to do breakfast!

In Thursday’s post, I mentioned that I don’t partake in fad diets, but instead I aim to lead a healthier lifestyle. For me, that means eating less dairy and incorporating more plant-based meals into my regular diet.

In case you are a die hard meat and ‘taters kind of person and you LIVE for cheese (just like Boy) you may thinking “Kill me now! That sounds ridiculously HARD!” But trust me, it’s NOT!

Simply swapping out ONE hearty bacon, egg and cheese breakfast for ONE of these puurrr-tty smoothie bowls (even just once a week) is a small victory and will help you on your path to being healthier in 2018.

Because, health may seem hard, but feeling healthy doesn’t have to be!

Can I get a woot-woot? (<– Wait. Are we still saying that in the New Year?! Or is that sooo 2017??)

Berry Citrus Smoothiec Bowl

Fruity, sweet and sour, this creamy and thick smoothie bowl has a luxurious and rich mouthfeel.

Topped with sliced bananas, tart grapefruit, juicy raspberries, sweet coconut flakes, jeweled pomegranate arils and mild chia seeds, this pretty in pink bowl is loaded with flavor AND better for you ingredients.

Packed with nutrients – think amino acids, fiber, omega 3-fatty acids, potassium, protein, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, – this smoothie will give you a healthy new year glow while providing energy and sustenance.

Aaaand, thanks to Silk Almond, this beautiful bowl is also dairy free AND lactose free.

Speaking of Silk Almond, have you tried it before?! It is my GO-TO lightened-up milk replacement.

Silk Almond is made of simple and natural, great tasting ingredients and it’s produced WITHOUT GMO’s. It’s lower in calories than milk, yet packs 50% MORE calcium and it’s a great source of antioxidants.

Basically Silk (and this smoothie bowl) are the PERFECT way to start the day and will help you on your path to a healthier GREATNESS in the new year.

How to make a smoothie bowl thick?

The trick to making your smoothie bowl thick and creamy is to use frozen fruit, and to use enough of it! While you need to make sure your bananas and berries for this smoothie bowl are frozen, it is okay to use fresh, peeled grapefruit! However, if you want to go the extra step and freeze the segmented grapefruit, go for it!

I used 3 frozen bananas in the recipe below, and my smoothie bowl was thick enough for my liking (meaning it was thicker than a traditional smoothie you drink with a straw). If you want a super thick berry citrus smoothie bowl, add an extra 1/2 – whole banana. You can always add more Silk Almond Unsweet Vanilla if you need to thin it out.

How to smoothie bowl?

Smoothie bowls are ALL about the toppings, so make sure you don’t skimp!

The toppings not only add texture, but they also add a ton of flavor.

Plus, it’s how you can customize the smoothie bowl to your exact taste (and the toppings look pretty too!!).

I’ve listed a few topping options that pair well with this smoothie bowl in the recipe below, but feel free to use your your imagination! The sky is the limit!

Recipe Notes, Tips & Tricks for Berry Citrus Smoothie Bowl:

  1. As I stated above, make sure your bananas and raspberries are frozen as this will lend a thicker and creamier texture to the smoothie bowl.
  2. For easier cleanup, segment the grapefruit over a bowl or blender to catch juices. Just be sure to not include the pith or seeds in the smoothie.
  3. The amount of honey you use in this berry citrus smoothie bowl depends entirely on personal preference. I used 3 tablespoons because I like my smoothie bowl on the sweeter side. However, if you prefer a strong tart flavor to your smoothie, you may want to only use 1-2 tablespoons of honey. You can also substitute agave nectar for the honey if desired.
  4. If you want your smoothie to have notes of coconut (versus just the coconut flakes garnishing the top of the bowl), substitute the Silk Almond Unsweet Vanilla for Silk Almond Coconut Blend! And, if you are a huge fan of coconut, you can also add a tablespoon or two of coconut flakes to the blender with the fruit in step 1 of the recipe.
  5. While the smoothie mixture is best when served fresh, leftovers will keep in the freezer for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container. Let the smoothie thaw before enjoying.

Nutrient dense and packed with ALL the flavor, this Berry Citrus Smoothie Bowl is perfect for breakfast, snack-time or even dessert. Get this smoothie bowl into your morning (or evening) rotation and start being THE BEST version of you!

Until Thursday, friends, cheers – to a healthier new you!

XOXO

    I’m with you…no fad diets, just some well-balanced eating with the major percentage of it being plant-based! We are on the same page friend! These are about the prettiest smoothie bowls ever I love everything that you’ve packed in here. I have everything I need for them except grapefruit so I need to get some and whip this up!

    I totally agree with you….Im so sick of the advertisements for fad diets on the TV (and hearing about people talk about their ‘new diets’ at the start of January) but like you, eating healthy is for life and I agree that incorporating plant based (healthy!) meals into your diet are delicious and so easy! This smoothie bowl looks so colourful and delicious!

    Beautiful pictures! I make my smoothies almost the same, only the fruit changes according to what I happen to have. I always buy more bananas than we can eat, so that I can freeze them when they are really ripe, my kids love their cold, creamy smoothies or the plain banana ice cream I sometimes make. 🙂
