Hey everyone! What a festive week this one has been with Canada Day on July 1st and 4th of July for my American friends! I’m pretty stoked cause hubby and I are starting our staycation vacation this Friday. It’ll be nice to get a little break and just enjoy each other’s company. Fingers crossed for nice weather!

What is a Smoothie Bowl?

Ok, I will admit, I’m a little late joining the smoothie bowl train. I mean, I love smoothies and enjoy them on the regular. I always thought smoothie bowls were so pretty, but always wonder what was up with the whole bowl situation? Now? Love it! It’s basically a super thick smoothie. How a smoothie bowl differs from a smoothie, in my opinion, is all the fun, tasty garnish. Let out your inner Bob Ross here, people. You can pretty up your smoothie bowl with as little or as much fruit or garnish you wish.

I planned on sharing another delicious recipe with you guys today, but on a recent trip to the supermarket, I found these beautiful cherries…and on sale for $3.99 per pound! You know there was no passing that up! Considering that cherry season is so short, I had to get this cherry smoothie bowl recipe to you guys asap 😉

How to Make a Smoothie Bowl

Making a smoothie bowl couldn’t be easier! Seriously. Like, it takes about 5 minutes (yes, 5 minutes) of your time. You just place the frozen fruit in a processor, blitz a little, add a touch of milk, blend again and then you are done, son!

Tips for Making this Cherry Smoothie Bowl

Use frozen cherries and a frozen banana for the base of this cherry smoothie bowl. If you use fresh, it will not be thick.
Like your smoothie bowl more liquidy? Add a little more almond milk. Add a little at a time (about a teaspoon) because a little goes a long way.
Want more or less of cherries or berries on top? You do you!
This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed immediately. Have all your fruit garnish ready to go when the base is mixed up.
I garnished this cherry smoothie bowl with fresh cherries. For picture purposes, they weren’t pitted. Don’t forget to take those suckers out before you enjoy them!
Speaking of fresh cherries, if you just want to stick to the frozen variety, go for it! Just thaw them out a bit before garnishing that smoothie bowl.

How to Garnish this Cherry Smoothie Bowl

I garnished this cherry berry smoothie bowl very simply with just berries, but you can add other toppings that you like to really amp this smoothie bowl up! Some other garnish that I love are –

Chia seeds
Hemp seeds
Shredded coconut
Pumpkin seeds
Chocolate chips
Your favourite nuts
A drizzle of melted Nutella, peanut butter or almond butter

What would be your favourite garnish? I honestly think there’s no going wrong here!
