smoothie bowl with fruit toppings Looking to satisfy a sweet craving but don’t want to forfeit nutritious ingredients? Our easy smoothie bowls are the perfect start to the day or even a mid-day, hearty snack. We’ve created two recipes that include a variety of fruits and vegetables such as raspberries, cauliflower, broccoli and more. Plus, both recipes include our Primal Kitchen Vanilla Whey Protein Powder for an added boost of protein.

Since these smoothie bowls also call for frozen fruits and vegetables the prep time is minimal. Using frozen fruits and vegetables will also make the smoothie bowls thick and spoonable. We’ve listed a variety of topping ideas to use as the finish touch but the sky’s the limit with toppings! Use your favorite nuts, seeds, fruit, or anything else you’d like.

How to make smoothie bowls

First you’ll want to gather al your ingredients together. For the pink smoothie you’ll start with cauliflower rice, raspberries and milk into a blender. If you’re looking to make the blue smoothie you’ll start with placing the broccoli, berries, and milk into the blender.

Notes

Use any combination of berries you like. Strawberries, blackberries and raspberries have lower overall carbs than blueberries.

Using frozen fruits and veggies will help ensure your smoothie is thick and spoonable. Start with ½ cup of milk and add more if needed to help the smoothie blend.

Frozen steamed zucchini is also a great lower carb option to add in!

I used full fat almond milk for this recipe but feel free to use any milk you’d like, or you could use water.

For an added protein/nutrition boost, add more protein powder or consider adding in some Primal Kitchen collagen protein as well!

The sky is the limit with toppings! Use your favorite nuts, seeds, fruit, or anything else you’d like.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
