What is a smoothie bowl?

What exactly is a smoothie bowl? Basically, put traditional healthy recipes in a glass into a smoothie to take another level. While sipping, enjoy it like a soup and add delicious toppings such as low-carb fruits, seeds, and nuts!

It takes your smoothie to the next level and it’s much more satisfying for a meal, as you have to chew the food rather than take a sip of it. Some of us need a bit of texture and crunch, but enjoying a smoothie bowl with toppings such as nuts and seeds is a delicious way to go.

Enjoy a meal on the go for a busy morning or enjoy post-workout snacks.

Why is chewing more important than just sipping?

One of the reasons I love making smoothie bowls rather than drinking smoothies is because they help me chew food.

Adding toppings like chia seeds, hemp hearts and nuts gives you extra texture and crunch that tells your brain that you really have eaten your meal.

Chewing doesn’t just break down food:

It activates satiety hormones that show bloating in your brain. Eating with a spoon rather than sipping can slow you down and give your body time when it’s satisfied. The added textures are useful for the sensory experience of eating (crunching, chewing, and flavor release). This is part of the reason why food feels more enjoyable and complete. Solid toppings slow the digestion of stable blood sugar and keep you fully satisfied for longer.

Therefore, although this recipe can be easily made as an easy-to-drink blueberry flavored smoothie, we highly recommend enjoying it as a smoothie bowl with toppings. You will find it not only is it more filling, but also more satisfying – proof that chewing is really important!

Low carb smoothie

Traditional smoothie carbs

Usually, smoothie bowls can be loaded with carbohydrates, especially if you add a variety of fruits that are high in carbohydrates. Most smoothies made with fruit and dairy products have around 27 grams of carbohydrates, which are 8 ounces, which is very expensive for those who drink ketogenic foods.

The key to keeping your keto smoothie low carbs is the amount of fruit you use. Raspberries and blueberries are great fruits found in low carb diets, as they are low in their glycemic index.

You’ll be surprised at how small fruits go a long way, but with some special ingredients, this will be a very fulfilling meal.

Our smoothie is a large 16 ounce serving with 9 grams of carbohydrates in total. All nutritional data and complete recipes can be found in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

If you’re on a keto diet, you’re very limited in all your carbohydrates per day. All the ingredients in this fantastic smoothie are keto, but if the carb count is too high, you need to adjust it. I’ve included some notes to help lower carbs.

Everyone who follows a keto lifestyle is different from their carbohydrate intake. There are total carbs and some countnet carbs, but adding fresh blueberries or freezing them into your diet is a very good thing for you as the berries are full of antioxidants.

Brenda’s Chef’s Notes:

You can use your favorite milk in this smoothie bowl.

Frozen berries work well with this and don’t need that much ice to make them cold. If you use fresh berries, you should add at least one tables of ice.

Xanthan Gum is an option, but it helps you make a lovely, rich and delicious smoothie bowl.
