​Ok, time to make yourself a smoothie bowl! Here is a step-by-step for building your bowl, followed by 3 delicious smoothie recipes you can use as the base. 

1. Prepare the Bowl

Select a tropical fruit as a vessel for your smoothie; we used a small watermelon. Slice the fruit in half (sharing the other half with a friend, or saving for later) and scoop out the interior. You can add the scooped-out fruit to water for a refreshing infusion!

2. Prepare the Toppings

There are so many options for smoothie toppings! We enjoyed sliced fruit, hemp hearts, coconut shavings, granola, dried goji berries, and raw coco nibs. Simply slice fruit, such as strawberries or bananas, and arrange all toppings into prep bowls.

3. Add the Smoothie

Pour the smoothie directly from the blender into the fruit bowl (scroll down for an amazing “Pre-Workout Energy” recipe). Extra smoothie can be refrigerated for later, unless you plan to top-up your bowl for seconds that is.

4. Decorate

Time to get creative! For a truly Insta-worthy smoothie bowl, carefully spoon your toppings over the mixture in a pleasing pattern. I created a spiral design, but rows also look great. Using small cookie cutters, stamp out delicate shapes from slices of dragon fruit and arrange over the toppings. Add edible flowers for extra fancy presentation.
