Blueberry and Pineapple Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls are the perfect breakfast or snack option with its creamy texture and refreshing taste. This blueberry and pineapple smoothie bowl has vibrant colors and is so delicious. Enjoy this perfect breakfast packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and natural sweetness.
Why a smoothie bowl and not just a smoothie? I thought the same exact thing and totally dismissed them when I first heard of them. I now realize smoothie bowls have a much different texture: being creamier and thicker. Hence the bowl and why you need to eat it with a spoon!
Smoothie bowls are also easy to customize with your favorite toppings such as this homemade blueberry syrup, crunchy granola, fresh fruit, dried fruit, or shredded coconut. Even if you live hundreds of miles away from the ocean, each bite of this recipe is like a tropical retreat.
I was first introduced to a smoothie bowl when on a trip with family. My sister-in-law made a few smoothie bowls and they looked AMAZING. The vibrant colors caught my eye, and the eye of my kids. My kids loved them and they were asking for more each day of the trip. Since we have returned home, I have tried several different flavors and haven’t found one we don’t like yet!

How to store
Store in the fridge for 24 hours in an airtight container. Re-blend with some ice if it is too watery. I also recommend storing it WITHOUT the toppings on.
If you make this in a large batch or have leftovers, I recommend placing it an airtight container in the FREEZER. It becomes too liquidly and runny in the fridge. I will move it to the fridge and let it thaw out overnight to enjoy first thing in the morning.
Tips for Success
Pour your liquid FIRST into the blender. This will help it blend a bit easier.
You may need to stop 2-3 times during blending to give the blender a good shake or open it and scrape down the sides with a spoon. This is because it is much thicker than a typical smoothie and uses less liquid.
Use unsweetened coconut milk as the fruit provides plenty of sweetness.
