Smoothies are very common in Bali, and one of the most popular menu choices at the cafes we frequented. While I was a fan of tropical smoothies before our trip around the world, I never took the time to make an actual smoothie bowl. And now, I prefer them over plain smoothies!
A smoothie bowl is essentially a smoothie of fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, or sometimes added veggies, which is blended and poured into a bowl, rather than a cup. Then, almost like yogurt, you add toppings: fresh fruit, like bananas or blueberries, granola, shredded coconut, flax seeds, hemp seeds, nuts, and more! This smoothie bowl recipe incorporates frozen acai berry, which I find at my local Trader Joe's. If you can't find it, no problem! Just substitute whatever frozen fruit you like.
Smoothie bowls are super versatile and can be customized to suit your dietary needs. I make gluten-free and dairy-free smoothies to keep my dairy intake at a minimum. I just feel better overall when I consume less dairy! Does anyone else feel that way too? Recently, this grain-free granola from Purely Elizabeth, has become a favorite - and I don't even miss the lack of grains. Who knew?! I love the Banana Nut Butter flavor and have been buying it regularly for the last month.
