CassieSmoothie Bowls. They’re a mood… but they can be hard to perfect.
I love smoothie bowls for breakfast, or even lunch. And it’s funny, because I often crave them in the winter… is that weird? My ideal day of food would be a cozy oatmeal bowl topped with peanut butter, cinnamon, and chopped apple in the morning, alongside a steaming mug of black coffee. For lunch, a smoothie bowl made of frozen banana, spinach, mixed berries, nut butter, and a splash of almond milk with all the toppings. And for dinner… probably fried chicken and sweet potatoes. I’ve recently become a fried chicken drumstick fanatic.
Any way. Smoothie bowls.
The right consistency is THIIIICK.
Like, DQ-blizzard-test proof.
How to get it that way?
1. Use frozen bananas. Always.
2. Lots of ice ice, baby.
3. Frozen berries.
4. Only as much liquid as won’t break your blender.
Follow the instructions below for the perfect smoothie bowl. Ideally use a powerful blender (like the VitaMix).

Method
1. Place the chopped bananas and berries in the bowl of your blender. Blend these first, until they resemble crumbs.
