This smoothie bowl made with blueberries, peaches and acai is a great healthy way to start the day! Top with pecans, shredded coconut or anything else you prefer.
This is my first entry into a recipe contest! A few days ago I saw that Sambazon started a smoothie bowl recipe contest inspired by the World Cup. The rule was to choose a country that's in the running, create a recipe, photograph it and submit.
Game on!! This is my type of contest. I of course picked Greece, purely based on the fact that I am 100% Greek, and nothing to do with how good they are at soccer...lol. My brain went to work, and a design instantly came to me.
Ingredients
Here is what you need to make this smoothie bowl:
- Frozen blueberries
- Frozen peaches
- Frozen acai
- Milk
- Nut butter
Blueberries are currently in season and our local market has the most amazing local organic ones right now so it was an obvious choice of ingredient. Plus, they represent the colors of Greece so win win for me!
Since peach season is also on it's way, I threw those into the mix, and of course had to include my beloved pecans.
Hemp seeds were an obvious, and coconut is white which goes with the blue to make the colors of the Greek flag, so it all came together nicely. This smoothie bowl tasted as good as it looks so celebrate some soccer and give it a try!

Blueberry Peach Acai Smoothie Bowl
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup frozen peaches
- ¾ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup frozen acai
- 4-6 tablespoons dairy-free milk , use canned coconut milk for the most creamy version milk
- 1-2 tablespoons pecan butter , or other nut butter
Toppings:
- blueberries
- shredded coconut
Instructions
- Place frozen peaches, blueberries and acai into a blender.
- Pulse to chop into small pieces, you almost want it shredded. Make sure you pulse and not blend so that it doesn't get stuck.
- Add the milk and nut butter if using.
- Blend or pulse on low while stopping to move the mixture around. If you have a vitamix, the tamper will work well for this. Do not blend on high or the heat will melt the mixture.
- Once it is the consistency of a thick frozen yogurt, pour into a bowl and serve topped with the toppings you want!
Notes
- This works best using only frozen fruit. You can freeze fresh fruit to use at a later date.
- By blending the frozen fruit first, you are getting it into small pieces so that it blends smoother and faster.

Do I add a banana? It is not listed in the ingredients only in the directions.
