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.

So refreshing and tasty! I’m all about this. I’ve been on an acai bowl kick lately, but making my own smoothie bowls sounds amazing! 🙂
I’ve never tried an acai bowl, that will have to be next for me, the color is awesome!
What a great way to start the day! I most always have a fruit and grain-filled smoothie in the morning but will have to try this ‘composed’ smoothie bowl too.
What a beautiful and yummy breakfast. And I absolutely love this food styling!
Thanks Vivian, the colors of the fruit really make it easy 🙂
I just heard of smoothie bowls for the first time just the other day and now here they are again. I have to say yours is the tastiest looking one I’ve seen thus far! I love that your smoothie looks thick. That just sounds so satisfying! MmmmMMmm! Thanks for the recipe!
These are so easy to vary, too, Danielle. Let me know what you think if you try one!
Yup, I’m another that really doesn’t like to drink breakfast. But I can get behind this smoothie bowl! It has texture — something I can sink my teeth into. 😉 Really nice — thanks.
What a gorgeous, healthy way to start the day, Sue!
Now…if you just lived next door and could deliver that to me every morning, I’d be in heaven.
I’m very much with you on the smoothie for breakfast thing. I love them, it’s just hard to have them for breakfast sometimes. This bowl looks delightful and so very mouth and tummy satisfying!
I saw this for the first time the other day and thought it was brilliant. You made it beautiful with a combination of my favorite breakfast ingredients. What a wonderful way to start the day!
Such a beautiful bowl and I can’t imagine a better way to start the day!
Guess what I’m having for breakfast? Yogurt, rhubarb and granola! I’m just missing some fresh fruit and nuts! Love this idea!
