All the classic blueberry muffin flavors in a rich and creamy smoothie bowl! This vegan blueberry muffin smoothie bowl is quick, simple, and great for a nourishing breakfast to energize you through the morning.
Before we get into the usual food talk, I want to acknowledge how chaotic/scary/unknown life is feeling lately. I hope you’re all safe and healthy, and that you’re taking the necessary precautions and being proactive to protect yourselves and loved ones. It’s so so important to be informed and take things seriously, but also not to panic. Knowledge is power, and I like to think positive thinking goes a long way, too. We’ll get through this if we work together and act out of care not only for ourselves, but for everybody else, too.
Sending you all love, light, and happy + healthy vibes, as always.
Now, let’s get into this dreeeeamy bowl.
So, I’m normally a smoothie girl. But this vegan blueberry muffin smoothie bowl may have me fully converted to team smoothie BOWL.
This bowl of course has all the creamy, dreamy, classic smoothie bowl perks. But on top of that, it also has all the flavors of the beloved blueberry muffin. Again, normally I’m all about chocolate, but there’s something about a blueberry muffin that just hits the spot. And even better if it’s in smoothie bowl form, right?
Let’s dooooo this!
Ingredients for a vegan blueberry muffin smoothie bowl
- Frozen banana: frozen banana gives the smoothie bowl its creamy texture as well as sweetness.
- Frozen blueberries: frozen blueberries provide all the sweet blueberry flavor and lots of antioxidants.
- Protein powder: protein powder gives the smoothie bowl a great thick texture, and makes it more satiating. I always use Complement protein because it’s the best quality, super simple and clean vegan protein you’ll find, but any vegan protein should work (though it may slightly change the texture/flavor).
- Water: a little liquid helps everything blend together.
- Raw granola: you can add whatever you like on top, but the one essential topping for this bowl is a generous sprinkle of raw vegan granola. This really gives that chewy, sweet, streusel-like feel, similar to a blueberry muffin top.
Tips for making a vegan blueberry muffin smoothie bowl
- Freeze your bananas when they’re super ripe. Always wait to freeze bananas until they’re super ripe and spotty. This is when they have the most sweetness and banana flavor.
- Add as little liquid as possible. I start with just 1/4 cup of water, then add little by little just to help the blender get things going. The less liquid you add, the thicker and more ice cream-like it will be.
This vegan blueberry muffin smoothie bowl is perfect any time of day, and the combination of nourishing fruit, healthy fats, and plant-based protein will satisfy you and power you through the busiest day. Plus, all the blueberry muffin feels going on make for such amazing texture and flavor!
