If you like to take your time in the morning and savor every bite (or sip) of your breakfast, you’ll definitely be into smoothie bowls. No matter which one you choose, a smoothie bowl for breakfast is the perfect way to kick-start your day, energizing your body with tons of nutrients.
So what is a smoothie bowl? It’s a normal smoothie, only served into a bowl and ready to be enjoyed spoonful by spoonful. Often they’re a little more substantial than a sippable smoothie and include healthy doses of greens, fruit, milk or yogurt (dairy or vegan versions), healthy fats and a superfood.
As berries of all kind are in full season now, packed full of incredible antioxidant and cancer-fighting benefits, I use them in smoothies every day. This blackberry-coconut smoothie bowl has became my favorite breakfast lately.
I’m in love with the glossy black color of the berries and I like the creaminess of coconut milk, but this is my go-to breakfast most of all because it’s nourishing and energizing enough so I don’t need any other snack until lunch. And, I must say, it’s delicious!

YUM!
This looks so lovely! Definitely worth a try
I really love a smoothie in the morning, so I’ll probably like this too! I like the chia seeds you added.
Is there anything that be used instead of banana?
This is absolutely beautiful!
This sounds so good! I have never heard of a smoothie bowl before, this sounds great and really easy. Do you have any recommendations for what brand I should choose for coconut milk? I am a fan of raw coconut in granola and coconut cake, etc but I don’t like coconut water that has loose leaves of coconut. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner?
Looks fantastic and a nice alternative to an acai bowl!
