Do you celebrate every breakfast as if it were your last? Or do you prefer the first meal of the day without a lot of frills? No matter what type of breakfast you are: With smoothie bowls, it has never been easier to start the day fresh. Not only can you prepare them in no time, but you can also easily adapt them to your taste and needs. With our tips you can create the perfect smoothie bowl breakfast.
Just mix it, Baby
Banana, mango, berries or dragon fruit: the basis of your refreshing breakfast is of course fruit. With our bowls you no longer have to worry about the right quantity or composition - our four different flavors are already perfectly seasoned. To prepare it, all you need is a pack of Wholey, 150 ml of water and a blender - the basis of your smoothie bowl is ready.
Here’s how it works:
- Remove the package from the freezer and place in the blender or smoothie blender.
- Add 150 ml of water. Put the lid on and off you go: mix for 60 seconds. If necessary, push the frozen mixture back into the knives using a pestle. Don't have a blender? No problem. You can also mix your bowl in a tall mixing vessel with a hand blender until creamy to the desired consistency. This may take a little longer than using a blender, but it's definitely worth the effort.
- Pour the creamy smoothie into your favorite bowl.
Kein Spaß: It really is as simple as that!
Our tip: Instructions are annoying and preferences vary. When preparing the bowl, however, it is best to stick to the 150 ml water specification. A thick consistency is best for your bowl. To do this, use a pestle to push the frozen ingredients from the edge of the container to the blade when mixing. If you use too much liquid when mixing, your smoothie bowl will not be nice and creamy, but far too runny. If your bowl is too thin, the toppings will sink to the bottom of your cereal bowl forever and you will have to replace your spoon with a straw. And nobody really wants that.
Top it like it’s hot
Hurray, we already have the basis. Now it's time to get down to business - or rather, to top it off. Toppings play a huge role when preparing your smoothie bowl. Granola, coconut chips, etc. are much more than just nice to look at. They decide whether the bowl satisfies your hunger and whether it lets you start the day with a satisfied grin on your face.
When it comes to toppings, it's like having roommates: everything can be done, nothing has to be done. You can highlight your bowl with selected superfoods, decorate it with homemade granola or fruit hearts - or simply grab the good old crunchy muesli.
Since you can combine the toppings as you wish and again and again, boredom at the breakfast table will now be a thing of the past. And let's be honest: A smoothie bowl without toppings? Without us!
We recommend a topping mix of the following three building blocks. Simply select one or two ingredients from each category:
- Crunch: not only ensures that we have something to chew, but also fills us up. For example, choose between granola, roasted oat flakes, quinoa granola, puffed cereal pops or crunchy muesli
- Fruits: Banana slices, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, mango, passion fruit… Everything is allowed! The only important thing is that you chop the fruit into snackable portions beforehand. The bowl is particularly pretty with a bunch of currants, pomegranate seeds or a sliced passion fruit
- That certain extra: We love superfoods! Step up your breakfast game and treat yourself to something special to top it off: cocoa nibs, coconut chips, chia seeds, pistachios, poppy seeds, cashews, nut butter, sesame, dark chocolate drops...
You need something quick, but at the same time you don't want to compromise on crunch, fruitiness and that little extra? At Wholey you can also order unusual toppings online . From crispy Omega-3 suppliers to your floral beauty to tropical crunch with extra fiber, you're spoiled for choice!
Extra tip for hungry breakfast lovers
Fruit is all well and good – but do you need something real to bite into to fill you up? We feel you. Our tip: put granola, overnight oats or chia pudding in a bowl, then pour the smoothie over it and serve with other favorite toppings. An extra spoonful of nut butter on top will satisfy even the hungriest of smoothie bowl skeptics.
