This Blueberry Swirl Smoothie Bowl combines frozen banana, blueberries, creamy yoghurt, and a boost of protein for a breakfast that’s as delicious as it looks. Topped with fresh fruit, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of passionfruit, it’s the perfect way to fuel your day.
How to Get the Perfect Smoothie Bowl Consistency
The secret to a great smoothie bowl is achieving that thick, spoonable texture. Here are a few simple tips to nail it every time:
- Use frozen fruit as your base, it gives the bowl its creamy, ice-cream-like texture.
- Don’t overblend – pulse just until smooth. Overblending can warm the fruit and thin out the mix.
- Add liquid sparingly – start with just a splash of milk and only add more if the blender struggles.
- Throw in a few ice cubes for extra thickness if needed.
- Check the spoon test – your smoothie should be thick enough to hold up your toppings without sinking.

1 scoop of of vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup yoghurt of choice

- Add a splash of almond milk and a few ice cubes if needed. Overdoing the liquid will make it too runny.
