Rainbow Smoothie Bowl

Thank you, Breville for sponsoring this recipe!

Food presentation isn’t normally my strong point. I mean, I can make food taste good and look appetizing (hopefully) but when it comes to perfectly decorated plates and bowls, I’m usually hopeless.

I have tried the whole photogenic, Instagram-worthy smoothie bowl pictures in the past and usually, it looks like a mess.

However, I have struck a balance between something that looks good and is quick and easy to achieve with this Rainbow Berry Smoothie Bowl…

Breville sent me their Blend Active Pro Food Prep Blender to help create a smoothie bowl that was quick, easy, healthy and used readily available ingredients.

Like I said in the beginning of this post, this smoothie is so simple and it’s even kid-friendly too! And all ingredients can be found in the supermarket.

Assembling a smoothie bowl

Smoothie base

For the base of the smoothie bowl, I used a mixture of frozen berries, banana (you could use frozen banana for a thicker texture), chia seeds and some almond milk.

The chia seeds will thicken the smoothie, the longer it sits, so you could leave the blender bottle in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving if you want it to be slightly thicker, like a chia pudding.

Toppings

Then there are plenty of options for the toppings! Frozen fruit is really handy for both the base and the to add some colour on top. A bit of crunch from seeds, nuts and oats also makes delicious toppings. See my guide below:

Rainbow Fruits

Red – Strawberries, Raspberries, Cherries, Watermelon, Red Grapes

Orange & Yellow– Oranges, Mango, Apricots, Papaya, Passionfruit, Peaches, Banana, Pineapple

Green – Grapes, Kiwi

Blue & Purple – Blueberries, Blackberries, Purple Grapes, Mulberries

Other Smoothie Bowl Toppings

• Whole, chopped or ground seeds
• Chopped nuts
• Nut butter to drizzle on top
• Dessicated coconut
• Grated dark chocolate
• Cacoa nibs
• Granola
