Black Forest Chocolate Cake Smoothie Bowl

This rich and decadent smoothie bowl is the perfect combination of cherry, almond, and chocolate for a satisfying treat that also makes for a balanced, nutritious, meal option…

As the weather starts to change again (which I am very sad about because I missed nearly all winter in Australia because I was visiting my family), you crave cold things with warm flavors sometimes. Like tiramisu gelato and amaretto cherries. This is that. This is my love for cherry and almond flavored anything in a sweet frozen treat. Even better, this treat is a balanced meal that’s high in protein and wonderful fats from the avocado and nut butter. For more protein, though, you can add a chocolate protein powder, or, my go-to, collagen powder.

I wanted to address the elephant in the room. I know many of us don’t love banana in smoothies and smoothie bowls that aren’t all about banana. I get it, it can be really overpowering. That being said, it’s an amazingly creamy and sweet frozen fruit, and it just can’t even come close to dominating in here under all that rich flavor from the chocolate and the almond. Frozen cherries add a bright tartness that cuts through the sweetness and the richness, and all the yummy fats from the nut butter and the avocado make this even creamier and even more frozen-custard like.

This is probably my new favorite way to make a smoothie bowl and I find it so satisfying too. The only two ingredients that might not be staples in your kitchen are the frozen cherries and frozen avocado. It’s worth stocking your freezer with some just to whip this up, basically year-round. Pair it with a delicious vanilla yogurt and some stewed frozen cherries and you have a decadent dessert that doubles as a nutritious meal!

Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

This berry popsicle-inspired smoothie bowl is a refreshing and nutritious option for a summer breakfast or snack…

This smoothie bowl recipe is another go-to for me, alongside my Ocean Bowl. It’s banana-less, which is my usual preference, and the berry powder in this adds an almost candy-like quality to this bowl.

I love this bowl after a summer hike or a walk on the beach. It’s refreshing, hydrating, and filling. Best of all, it’s fairly easy to make and the main ingredients keep for a long time, so you can always have them on hand. To make it more filling, you could add a scoop of protein powder or collagen powder.

This recipe is super simple, the only frills are the powders which are totally optional! I added blue spirulina in this to give it a deeper purple hue, but in addition to almost all the other ingredients in this bowl, spirulina is a powerful antioxidant. Mangoes, blueberries, and açaí are great sources of vitamin C and antioxidants.

Antioxidants are important for neutralizing free radicals in the body. Oxidative stress, which can occur from pollution, excessive exercise, inflammation, certain foods like artificial sweeteners, and even mitochondrial activity, occurs when free radicals are not processed efficiently by the body. Oxidative stress has been linked to many diseases and health conditions. That’s why it’s important to try to minimize the production of free radicals in the body, and it’s also important to consume a diet rich in antioxidants.
