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.
