SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIE BOWL RECIPE IDEAS

They're highly sought-after, often incredibly beautiful, super delicious, and good for our bodies: smoothie bowls. This trendy breakfast is rightly on everyone's lips. One reason for this is certainly the fact that they can be combined in so many different ways and, what's more, they're packed with healthy nutrients – so they never get boring.

We at YLUMI also love colorful bowls and often boost them with our VANILLA GLOW PROTEIN to give our bodies that extra glow plus plant-based protein. Today we'd like to share various superfood smoothie bowl recipe ideas with you and provide you with valuable information about the most popular superfoods.

Superfood Smoothie Bowl – the basis

The basis of every smoothie bowl is a kind of thick smoothie, a pureed mixture of various fruits and/or vegetables. Your imagination is the limit.

Açaí Bowl

The açaí berry is the fruit of the cabbage palm, and its rich spectrum of valuable nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants makes it the Ferrari among superfoods. Açaí puree is available in frozen slabs, which are best mixed with a banana and other fruits for a bowl. There is also açaí berry powder, which you can add to any fruit puree.

Blue Smoothie Bowl

The blue smoothie bowl is also increasingly appearing on menus and Instagram. For this, fruit puree is blended with spirulina powder. This protein-rich algae is also a true superfood. It is said to have positive effects on the immune system, the skin aging process, and overall physical health.

Fruit puree

If you don't have any of the superfoods mentioned above at home, you can also create your own smoothie bowl using regular fruit or frozen fruit blends. Bananas provide a particularly creamy consistency. Vegetables like avocado, spinach, etc. are also acceptable. Just see what you have in your fridge.

Protein powder

To top off your healthy smoothie bowl and give it even more goodness, you can mix in the powder as needed. Vanilla Glow Protein provides radiant skin and strong, shiny hair, along with a creamy, vanilla flavor.

Superfood Smoothie Bowl – the toppings

Toppings are the icing on the cake for any smoothie bowl. The more colorful the better. Anything healthy and delicious is allowed here, too. Today we're introducing you to a few of the most popular superfood toppings for smoothie bowls:

Fruit

Are you a real fruit junkie? Then top your smoothie bowl with even more fruit. Bananas, berries, etc. – they all make wonderful toppings and look damn good, too.

Goji berries

This small berry is a true powerhouse and is highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is used, among other things, to support the immune system, strengthen the heart, liver, and kidneys, and treat high blood pressure. You can find it in dried form in most supermarkets and health food stores in Germany.

Coconut chips

Coconut is rich in high-quality oils, which contain a wealth of nutrients. Iron and vitamins E and K are just three of its important ingredients. As a topping, it adds a delicious flavor to any smoothie bowl, instantly reminiscent of a vacation under palm trees.

Nuts

We don't need to explain that nuts are a true superfood. The healthy fats and proteins they provide make them the perfect topping for your smoothie bowl. Almonds, cashews, and peanuts are especially delicious on top of a bowl.

cocoa nibs

Attention chocolate junkies! If you can't do without the delicious taste of chocolate in your smoothie bowl, top it with crunchy cacao nibs. Not only do they taste incredible, they're also incredibly healthy for your heart and soul. The feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin have a positive effect on your cardiovascular system and can relieve stress and tension.

Chia seeds

When the superfood wave hit Germany, chia seeds were among the first to join the party. This pseudocereal is rich in antioxidants and contains five times more calcium than milk. With 16 grams of protein per 100 grams, they're also a true protein bomb.

hemp seeds

Not only does their nutty flavor make them the perfect topping for any smoothie bowl, but hemp seeds are also a true superfood. They're packed with healthy fatty acids, proteins, and vitamins. They're also rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron.
