Smoothie Bowl with Coffee

If you love coffee as much as I do or maybe you have a frappuccino habit but are trying to cut down on the calories, sugar, and fat that those provide with a healthier version, this Coffee Smoothie Bowl recipe will rock your mornings!

This refreshing bowl of protein, caffeine, and deliciousness is a smoothie and a cup of coffee in one. Making it is super easy and I sometimes serve it in a bowl or a huge mug. You know, old habits are hard to break.

This smoothie is lower in sugar and already has your morning cup of coffee in it. Plus, Greek yogurt provides an extra dose of protein, and you can make it different every time by adding your favorite toppings. Yum!

Ingredients

You’ll find the measurements in the recipe card, but first, check out what makes this Coffee Smoothie Bowl one epic meal you’ll feel good about eating:

  • Brewed coffee: it’s not a coffee smoothie bowl without it!
  • Unsweetened almond milk: or any other dairy or non-dairy milk you have around.
  • Liquid stevia: for a little sweetness.
  • Greek yogurt: adds protein and a creamy consistency.
  • Cocoa powder: delicious chocolate vibes!
  • Chia seeds: help thicken the smoothie.
  • Ice: adds volume and a thicker texture.
  • Toppings: your favorites, like nuts, seeds, shredded coconut, fruit, or chocolate chips.

How to Make a Coffee Smoothie Bowl

Maybe you already know how much I love pancakes, but when it comes to a breakfast that takes no time at all, nothing can beat smoothies! So grab your blender and let’s give your morning coffee a refreshing twist:

  1. Blend
    Place everything in the blender and blend. Stop and stir if necessary.
  2. Add toppings
    Pour the coffee smoothie into a bowl and add your favorite toppings

Check out this quick video recipe to see the amazing consistency of this smoothie bowl:

Making it Thick

A smoothie bowl is nothing more than a regular smoothie with a thicker texture. So, how do you make smoothie bowls thicker? Ice! It’s not just to make your smoothie refreshing but also to make it thicker. Chia seeds are also great for yielding thick smoothies since they absorb liquid quickly.

If you already blended your smoothie and it’s still thinner than desired, you can add oats, flax meal, or a few extra ice cubes. Boom! Epic thick texture in seconds.

Best Toppings

This Coffee Smoothie Bowl includes sliced strawberries, pumpkin seeds, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. I love this combo, but honestly, whatever you like will make the best smoothie. Other toppings I usually include are berries, sliced fruit, dried fruit, nuts, granola, nut butter, hemp seeds, and sunflower seeds.

More Smoothie Bowl Recipes

I usually start the day with my bulletproof coffee, but by making the different smoothie bowls in this series for you, I have become very fond of a cold breakfast and, of course, a liquid snack.

Once you start making smoothie bowls in the morning, you will find the flavors you love best as well. My favorites are Strawberry Smoothie Bowl and Peach Smoothie Bowl.

Oh wait! Did I mention my EPIC High Fiber Chocolate Smoothie Bowl and this Blueberry Protein Smoothie Bowl? Nop. I just can’t decide, guys. They are all nutritious and taste like dessert for breakfast!
