Breakfast That Looks Like Art (And Takes 10 Minutes)


Smoothie bowls are the ultimate GF breakfast: naturally gluten-free, packed with nutrients, endlessly customizable, and they look gorgeous.


The key to a great smoothie bowl vs. a regular smoothie? Thickness. A good bowl is thick enough to eat with a spoon and hold toppings.

    The Master Formula


    Every smoothie bowl follows this ratio:


  • β–Ί1.5 cups frozen fruit β€” (main flavor)
  • β–Ί1/2 cup liquid β€” (less than a smoothie = thicker)
  • β–Ί1 scoop protein β€” (optional but recommended)
  • β–Ί1 tbsp thickener β€” (banana, avocado, or nut butter)
  • β–ΊToppings β€” (this is where the magic happens)

  • Pro tip: Use frozen fruit, NOT fresh + ice. Frozen fruit gives you that thick, ice cream-like consistency without watering it down.

    Celiac Safety Glossary

    Gluten
    Gluten is a family of storage proteins (prolamins and glutelins) found naturally in cereal grains like wheat (including varieties like spelt, kamut, and farro), barley, and rye, which acts as a binder to give food elasticity and shape.
