WHAT ARE DESSERT SMOOTHIE BOWLS?
Smoothie bowls, also known as Nice Cream, is essentially just frozen fruit & veggies blended together and topped with wholesome, tasty ingredients.
Most recipes consist of a base of frozen bananas blended with a smaller portion of other fruits, leafy greens or nut butters. Sometimes things like plant-based milk and yogurt are added to give it a smoother, creamier texture.
The bowls are then topped with tasty bits like dried fruit, granola, coconut shavings, nuts and seeds. You can drizzle your bowls with a little honey, agave, caramel, or chocolate sauce for an added bit of sweetness or decadence.
People enjoy smoothie bowls because they are more filling and satisfying than a regular smoothie. By adding the extra solid ingredients on top, you are providing a denser, more filling meal. Plus, they’re pretty, right?
