Sometimes smoothie bowls can be a lot of work. The thicker consistency makes it harder to blend and can take a long time to mix.
If you find yourself facing this problem consistently, we will have tips down below to help you solve the issue!
However you make it, the outcome is delicious! It has a slightly crunchy texture and the raspberries aren’t overpowering.
We have been making this recipe almost every other day so it is absolutely a must-try!
This post is all about the best raspberry smoothie bowl recipe.
If you’re looking for a pick-me-up, this smoothie bowl is the perfect way to take a snack break. The blend of sweet and tart is well balanced and especially with the weather, this smoothie bowl is an excellent method for cooling down.
It really should be featured in a series of “I can’t believe it’s not dessert” because it definitely tastes like ice cream!
The fruits also give the consistency a thick and silky smooth texture that is absolutely irresistible.
Not a fan of bananas? Not a problem, this just means you add less to the recipe. To keep the proper consistency, you may need to add more frozen fruit.
First of all, here are the materials you are going to need:
A blender
Two measuring cups: ½ cup and ¼ cup
A spoon
A bowl
If you happen to be looking for a new blender, we suggest this one from Amazon.
This Ninja Compact Processing Blender has many pieces you can switch out depending on what you’re blending.
This product is especially great for making smoothies on the go because they have cups that you can take with you.
Or, if you are making a smoothie bowl, you can grab a spoon and eat right out of the cup.
Next up, the ingredients!
For this recipe, you will need:
2 whole frozen bananas (cut into thirds)
½ cup of raspberries
¼ cup of almond milk
¼ cup of chocolate chips
*Almond milk will make the raspberry smoothie bowl taste sweeter, however, any milk you have will work just fine.*
Make sure that if you are freezing, your own bananas, you take off the peel before freezing them. A frozen banana with its peel is very challenging to take off and use.
For this recipe, we chose to use fresh raspberries, because even now the end consistency is not as thick, and the raspberry flavor can be tasted more.
The end is ultimately up to you but if you want a richer, fruity taste then fresh raspberries are the way to go.
With all of that covered, it’s time to reveal the steps for this raspberry smoothie bowl!
Step 1:
Cut the two frozen bananas into thirds, and add them to the blender.
Step 2:
Add ½ cup of raspberries, ¼ cup of milk into the blender.
Depending on your preferences, you can use ½ cup of frozen raspberries instead to create a thicker consistency.
*Keep in mind that this can result in less raspberry flavor and more of a banana taste.*
Step 3:
Blend until everything has been mixed together. This usually takes about 30 seconds.
Step 4:
Add ¼ cup of chocolate chips to the mixture. Blend for 5 to 10 seconds.
If you prefer not to add chocolate chips, you can skip this step.
However, if you are looking for another topping to add to this recipe, spinach is another option.
Step 5:
Pour into a separate bowl or whatever you are going to use.
Here are some really great coconut bowls with wooden spoons from Amazon.
They work well for smoothie bowls but you can also add salads or other dishes to them. They add the presentation to your meal.
Step 6:
Enjoy!

Although the portion is on the smaller side, this raspberry smoothie bowl is super thick and absolutely delicious!
