Breakfast smoothie bowls are all the rage right now for a good reason! These healthy fruit and yogurt bowls are beautiful, healthy, and endlessly customizable ~ they’re gluten free, high protein, and so delicious!
Normally I’m not a smoothie for breakfast type, I’m just not into drinking my meals… but this is an idea I can get behind. With a healthy morning smoothie bowl, loaded with fruits, nuts, and granola, I get to spoon and crunch my way to a balanced and hearty start to the day.
The concept is uber simple – just whiz together your smoothie, spoon it into a shallow bowl, and top it with your favorite stuff. My bowl was rimmed with fresh blackberries pureed with 2% Greek yogurt. I wanted the base to be thick, so I didn’t add any other liquids.
The breakfast smoothie bowl is pretty much it’s own art form. It’s the perfect canvas to play with color, texture, and flavors all at once!
My toppings include strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, tangerine, banana, Spanish peanuts and honey flax granola. But of course this is the ultimate customizable recipe! Use whatever you love, what you have in your pantry, or what looks good at the farmer’s market.

Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh ripe blackberries, rinsed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- assorted fruits and nuts for garnish, I used strawberries, raspberries, tangerine segments, sliced bananas, chopped kiwi and Spanish peanuts,
honey flax granola (you'll have extra)
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp flax seeds
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- To make the granola, toss the oats with the oil, honey, and flax seeds to coat well.
- Spread the oats out onto a baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the oats are golden brown. I give the pan a stir several times during the baking. Let cool.
- To make the smoothie, put the berries in a blender and blend until pureed. Add the yogurt and blend again until smooth.
- Spoon the yogurt into a shallow bowl and top with assorted fruits and nuts. Sprinkle the granola over the top and enjoy.
Notes
- Use almond or coconut yogurt for a vegan smoothie bowl.
- Use frozen fruit for a super cool treat in hot weather.

This looks absolutely great and so delicious. I am addicted to smoothie bowls – thanks for this idea. X
I’m trying to find a way to adapt these for the colder weather — I can’t give them up!
I love it. I’m also not a meal drinker, so I will only occasionally have a smoothie. The idea of blending the fruit in with the yogurt as a base is a great idea. Normally I’ll put a little honey in my plain yogurt, then add a fruit. This looks so much better.
For the longest time I resisted smoothie bowls – if I wanted a smoothie I’d just drink it! But I finally tried an acai bowl and holy moly! It’s basically like healthy ice cream for breakfast! I *finally* get it. This smoothie bowl is the most gorgeous one yet.
the blackberry yogurt is what seals the deal for me–it contributes what i consider to be unparalleled beauty and a tasty flavor too!
Blackberries are the king of berries, if you ask me!
Almost too pretty to eat… Love the variety 😀 Perfect for wee family get together breakfast as well, just lots of yogurt and chopped fruits, seeds and nuts, yum ^ ^
Looks great! I think this is what foodies would call a ‘deconstructed smoothie”.
This is so gorgeous, Sue! Breakfast has never looked better!
This is such a brilliant idea! So much healthier than just plain yogurt.
Btw: I’m totally drooling over the fruit. Our strawberry season is not far away but for right now we can only get really bland tasting, woody ones that were picked too early and shipped too far. The ones in your smoothie bowl look so good!
My daughter is at a conference in San Diego, and called to tell me that these Breakfast Smoothie Bowls are Everywhere! Mostly made with Acai berries. That was the first I’d heard of them, and Serendipity! here is your gorgeous version.
I agree…I’d rather eat my breakfast instead of drinking it. Smoothies are what I enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up. Love the look of this bowl. Perfect for a summer breakfast!
