My return to blogging has drawn me back down the rabbit hole that is Pinterest. And speaking of platforms that encourage hours of mindless scrolling, I must tell you: You haven’t lived until you’ve seen all 36,264 #grazingtable posts on Instagram. Srrrrsllly tho.
Anyway, the point is, it’s been a long and intense search for inspiration to fuel my dive back into recipe creation, food styling and photography. So imagine my delight when I stumbled upon AlphaFoodie’s breathtaking smoothie bowls. I did not know this was a thing, but I’m fairly certain it’s part of the #grazingtable / #avocadotoast / #ramen conspiracy designed to keep us all wide-eyed and drooling at the alter of foodstagram.
At first, there were so many questions …
What are smoothie bowls?
(Smoothies. In bowls. With impossibly photogenic and decidedly unrealistic garnishes.)
Ok, so how do I make a smoothie bowl?
(Make a smoothie and pour it into a bowl.)
How do you eat a smoothie bowl?
(With a spoon. Duh.)
SIGN. ME. UP.
The Triple B (Berries, Banana, Beetroot powder) Smoothie Bowl
You can't go wrong with a berry banana smoothie. Beetroot powder is rich in antioxidants, calcium and other nutrients (so Google tells me). Greek yogurt, honey, flax and OJ round out the mix.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mixes berries
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt
- 1 tsp beetroot powder
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp flax seeds
Instructions

Blend all ingredients. Pour into bowl. Garnish with berries, shredded coconut, flax seed and, if you're feeling insta-ready, melon-balled dragonfruit.

As an official taste tester of BWB this blew me away and was fun to drink. The dragonfruit makes for an exciting touch and made me wonder, “Man, Dragonfruit is totally underrated!”
