    WHY THICK SMOOTHIE BOWLS ARE ACTUALLY HEALTHY FOR YOU <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Smoothie bowls are an excellent healthy treat for weight loss, gut health, and they are even kid friendly! They are a great way to pack in nutrient dense fruits. Instead of ice cream or sorbet which is high in refined sugar, make a simple smoothie bowl!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fruits are ultra high in so many nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants that help with gut health, reducing inflammation, and getting your body the nutrients you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I make my thick smoothie bowls as a dessert, but you can easily make them as a breakfast. See my FAQ's below on how to make one as a healthy breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    WHAT KIND OF BLENDER SHOULD I USE FOR A THICK SMOOTHIE BOWL?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I make all my new thick smoothie bowl recipes in my vitamix blender<\/a>. My older recipes were made in my ninja blender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You do need a quality blender. But thick smoothie bowls are possible with a cheaper blender if you have a little extra time to keep turning the blender off and stirring it until it is totally pureed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    TIPS FOR AN ULTRA THICK SMOOTHIE BOWL <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Use only frozen fruit<\/strong>. Don't add fresh fruit if you want an ultra thick smoothie bowl! Fresh fruit is too watery and you will end up with a soupy texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Use just a splash of milk<\/strong>. Just a splash of milk will get your blender going! That is all you need. About \u215b cup milk per 1 cup of frozen fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep blending until it is creamy.<\/strong> Keep pushing frozen fruit down towards the blades either with your blender tamper, or by scraping it down with a spatula. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don't be tempted to add more liquid<\/strong>. Don't add more liquid to get it smooth faster, this is a smoothie. Just keep blending until it is pureed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Invest in a high quality blender<\/strong>. If you plan to make a lot of smoothie bowls, investing in a good blender with a strong motor that can quickly cut through frozen fruit is a really good idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
