Summer smoothie bowls – they really are a match made in heaven. The perfect solution for wanting a cool, refreshing drink AND wanting to eat something with a spoon.
Our smoothie bowls use a base of frozen fruit – always frozen for thick smoothie bowls! – and yoghurt or milk (feel free to swap in non-dairy milk and yoghurt, if that suits you). We add some crunchy, nutrient-packed toppings and voila! This combo makes 12WBT smoothie bowls delicious and filling – they’ll fuel your day, your workout and everything that comes in between.
