What is a Smoothie Bowl?

A smoothie bowl is a thick, spoonable smoothie served in a bowl and topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, seeds, and granola. Unlike traditional smoothies, a smoothie bowl base is made thicker—think soft-serve consistency—so you can pile on delicious toppings without them sinking. Smoothie bowls are a fun, customizable way to pack in nutrients, and adding Dandy Blend brings a unique, caffeine-free depth of flavor to every recipe.

3 Smoothie Bowl Base Recipes with Dandy Blend

With these three Dandy Blend smoothie bowl recipes, you can enjoy a variety of flavors and textures while fueling your body with wholesome ingredients. Try each smoothie bowl recipe and discover your new favorite way to start the day.

Pro tip: the key to thick bases is a lower and slower blend speed. Try avoiding a fast, high-powered blend, or you may end up with a drinkable smoothie instead.

1. Cozy Spice-Inspired Smoothie Bowl Base

  • ¾ cup milk of choice (almond or macadamia work great in this one)
  • ½ cup frozen cooked sweet potato
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon powdered Dandy Blend
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice

Blend all ingredients until creamy and thick. Pour into a bowl and top with cacao nibs, granola, or extra cinnamon for a cozy fall treat.

2. Classic Berry Smoothie Bowl Base

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk of choice (we like almond or coconut milk for this one)
  • 1 teaspoon powered Dandy Blend
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • 1 cup ice

Blend on low until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency. Scoop into a bowl and top with sliced fruit, coconut flakes, or chia seeds for a refreshing smoothie bowl recipe.

3. Mocha Banana Smoothie Bowl Base

  • 2 frozen bananas
  • 1½ cups milk of choice (we like almond or oat for this one)
