Make Your Own Smoothie Bowls

Fresh Direct · May 28, 2015 ·

We do things a little bit differently here at FreshDirect, and by differently we mean we drink bone broth from cups and eat our smoothies in bowls. But if Instagram has taught us anything, it’s that styling a smoothie bowl is actually way trendier than eating a smoothie. Too bad because our easy versions are too good not to eat. Learn how to create your very own smoothie bowls after the jump.

Mean Green Smoothie Machine

What You’ll Need:
2 big handfuls of spinach
1 cup of almond milk
1 cup of frozen pineapple
1 cup of frozen mango
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup of ice
Chia seeds
Toppings: chia seeds, mango, coconut, blueberries

What to Do:
Blend spinach, almond milk, pineapple, mango, banana, and ice together in a blender until smooth.

The recipe will yield two smoothie bowls. Pour half of your smoothie into a bowl and freeze the remainder. (The next day simply re-blend the frozen smoothie and enjoy a bowl two days in a row.)

Add your favorite toppings. We suggest fresh mango, chia seeds, coconut chips, and blueberries, but have fun with your favorite produce.

Dragonfruit Punch

What You’ll Need:
2 packs of Pitaya Dragon Fruit
1/2 cup of frozen berries
1/2 cup of almond milk
1 frozen banana
Toppings: goji berries, nuts, kiwi, flax seeds, blackberries

What to Do:
Blend two packs of Pitaya with frozen berries, almond milk, and a frozen banana until smooth.

Pour your smoothie into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. We think our goji berry nut mix, which is chock-full of almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, is a great topping with a nice crunch that pairs well with the subtle dragon fruit flavor. We also added tart kiwis and blackberries to this purple smoothie.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Power

What You’ll Need:
1/2 cup of almond milk
2-4 frozen bananas
4-8 tbsp. of unsweetened cocoa powder
2-4 tbsp. of peanut butter
1/2 cup of ice
Toppings: hazelnuts, bananas, sesame seeds, coconut, dark chocolate, sea salt

What to Do:
Blend almond milk with frozen bananas (we used two here but suggest up to four depending on your taste preference and how much smoothie you want to make), unsweetened cocoa powder (again, play with the amount depending on how much chocolate flavor you want), peanut butter, and ice until smooth.

Chocolate and peanut butter call for more chocolate, right? We topped this creamy smoothie with more chocolate chips, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, coconut chips, and just a sprinkle of sea salt.

There's nothing better than organic salmon, and th There's nothing better than organic salmon, and there's no better salmon than from Norway. When you're looking for somehing new to revive your palate after all that holiday eating, try @seafoodfromnorway_us's receipt for Norwegian Salmon with Hot Honey Glaze. Link in bio to shop ingredients

What you'll need:
1 - 8 ounce Norwegian salmon fillet, skinned, deboned and divided into two 4 ounce fillets
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon sambal
1 tablespoon sliced red or green chilies

What you'll do:
1. In a heavy bottom sauce pan over medium high heat, add honey, sambal and chilies. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and set aside. The longer the honey sits the more flavor the chilies release.
2. In the meantime, pat salmon dry and season with salt, coriander, smoked paprika and fresh cracked pepper.
3. Add oil to a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, add salmon to the pan, presentation side down.
4. Cook the salmon for four minutes; flip and cook for another three minutes. Top salmon with glaze while in pan, to coat each filet.
5. Transfer to serving plates, top with more chili sauce, serve with brussels sprouts or your favorite vegetable, if desired.
