Morning Mocha Smoothie Bowl

Smoothies and frappucinos have had their day, and now it’s time for a smoothie revolution. A revolution in the form of a little something called a smoothie bowl. This Morning Mocha Smoothie Bowl is a finger-lickin’ good breakfast that whips up in seconds but fills you up so much more than a smoothie ever could.

Morning Mocha Smoothie Bowl

So what exactly is a smoothie bowl? Well it’s pretty simple really. You’ll make yourself a smoothie that’s a bit thicker than one you would drink, then pour it into a bowl. Now onto the fun part. Top it with whatever your heart desires! You can get really fancy with it or go for the minimalist approach. I’ve topped this mocha smoothie bowl with sliced bananas, chia seeds, sliced almonds, and shaved chocolate (Jamie Oliver has a great tutorial on how to shave chocolate here). I’m guessing you’re a coffee fan since you are looking at this mocha smoothie bowl. So if that’s the case, you will want to check out this recipe for our Loaded Coffee Smoothie, perfect for on-the-go mornings!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 tablepoon brown sugar
• Ice, as needed

This recipe makes one big or two small mocha smoothie bowls, though I think you’ll find yourself wanting more, more, more! Any leftovers can easily be stored until the next morning, or mixed with a touch of milk and drank as a smoothie if you’re on the go.
