Tropical Smoothie Bowl - Fab Food 4 All

Having only recently made my first smoothie I decided it was time to bite the bullet and make a smoothie bowl. So today I made this Tropical Smoothie Bowl which totally perplexed my hubby who asked what on earth it was (obviously doesn’t read food blogs which are awash with them)! With a mango as a starting point I had a little fridge raid, added a couple of kiwi fruits, juice of an orange, a banana and some coconut extract.

Oh my this was good. Now I know why smoothie bowls are so popular! My son refused to try my Tropical Smoothie Bowl but my daughter tucked in with relish and declared it “lovely” when she got back from school. Hubby also approved after his initial scepticism! I couldn’t see myself making this for breakfast (just not a morning person) but I think it would make a fabulous fat free dessert or just a great after school school snack.

    I love the smoothie bowls and think its a great idea. I have been making my own for a while. Now I have cottoned on to flavoured Kefir and Banana and Oat drink from M&S, I use that as my base. I have been adding lychees which are really sweet and juicy and sprinkling with toasted nuts.
    There is no limit to these.

    Great idea to make a tropical smoothie bowl. I prefer them for dessert to breakfast too, great to get that creaminess without any cream!

    Ha-ha! So a Smoothie Bowl is a cold fruit soup! Gosh these crazes…. lol Still if it gets people eating more fruit, it can’t be a bad thing, can it?
    This combination sounds really good!

    We are big fans of smoothie bowls, as it’s nice to add toppings to the smoothie and it always feels like bit more of a meal that drinking it out of a glass.

    I’m new to smoothie bowls. I like it that there is no added sugar – just the natural sugars of the fruit.

      Yes, at least this sugar is coming packed with nutrients:-)

    This is perfect for me! I have a bowl of soaked porridge oats every morning with nana, strawbs, kiwi and grapes. Then I make a green smoothie with spinach, avo and whatever I can find in the fridge. 😀

    I love a smoothie bowl! We eat a lot of fruit salad, and when I first got my braces I used to throw it in the blender and drink it like soup, which my OH and daughter thought was hilarious. Apparently I was ahead of the trend!!

    The only reason I prefer eating my smoothies out a bowl (rather than drinking them) is because I find it so much more satisfying! I think it tricks my brain into thinking I’m eating something whereas drinking it through a straw just doesn’t cut it for me! Also, it gives you a chance to add so many more lovely toppings! Love the tropical theme of this smoothie 🙂

      Thanks:-) You’re right Nadia, there’s a lot more scope for a bowl but I suppose if you’re in a hurry a smoothie in a glass is quicker:-)
