A smoothie bowl is any mixture of fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, etc., that is blended into a smooth mixture and poured into a bowl. Breakfast smoothie bowls are usually topped with chopped fruits, seeds, nuts, and granola, and consumed with a spoon instead of drunk through a straw.
If a quick smoothie makes a great snack, a smoothie bowl can pack you up with enough nutrients to last you till lunch.
Think of it this way, if morning cereals and smoothies had a baby, well, this would be it.
In short, no, you don’t need a special blender for smoothie bowls. But only if the blender is powerful enough to fully extract and blend into a smooth consistency. Smoothie bowls should offer a creamy mouthfeel that can be topped with optional crunchiness.
Most smoothie bowls also include frozen ingredients and grains, so make sure that your blender is powerful enough to “digest” such foods with ease.
The key to making a creamy smoothie bowl lies in the extraction force, and we just made sure that you have some of the most powerful blenders to consider. So, which one of these extractors do you like best?
