This delicious triple berry smoothie bowl is a vibrant and flavorful option. It’s vegan, banana free, and made with a colorful mix of berries and creamy toppings.
My love for smoothie bowls is nothing new. I've been raving about them for years and I pretty much have one every single day.
But in the last few months, I’ve found my favorite combination. One that I come back to over and over again. It’s simple, just sweet enough, and has the most velvety smooth texture.
This triple berry smoothie bowl has quickly become my go to favorite.
Inside our Our Triple Berry Smoothie Bowl
The first thing we need to talk about is the ingredients. I’ve been making this smoothie bowl on repeat for the past few months and I’m obsessed. I used to think you had to add a lot of bananas to get that ice cream like texture, but I’ve found you can still make a delicious smoothie bowl using a different mix of fruits.
Here's what's inside our bowl:
- Fresh zucchini
- Avocado
- Protein (either powder or hemp seeds)
- Cascadian Farm's Harvest Berries
- and coconut water/almond milk
It's truly that simple and it's seriously the BEST combination!
How to make the Perfect Smoothie Bowl
The trick to a perfect smoothie bowl is getting a texture that's thick enough to hold your toppings and that you can eat it with a spoon. I don't know where eating your smoothie with a spoon started, but I am so down!
The key things you need to have when you're making a smoothie bowl are:
- Something frozen
- Something creamy
- Just a touch of liquid
For our something frozen, we're using Cascadian Farm's Harvest Berries, which is a blend of organic strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. I love this blend of berries because it not only has the best color when they're all blended together, but each berry has their own flavor and bring an amazing natural sweetness to the bowl.
Cascadian Farm has long been my one of favorite frozen fruit companies. Their products are all organic (they've been an organic farm since 1972!) and they have a ton of amazing options that you often have trouble finding organic. And guess what? Cascadian Farm is actually a real place in Washington State AND I get to go there in a few short weeks The Feedfeed!!

Getting a Smooth Texture Everytime
For our something creamy, we're using a blend of fresh zucchini (you could also use frozen) and avocado.
Zucchini might seem a little strange, but trust me, it’s one of my favorite ingredients to use in smoothies. When blended, it creates an amazingly creamy texture and has almost no noticeable flavor.
And avocado? You probably already know how creamy it is. It really helps give this triple berry smoothie bowl that ultra velvety texture.
For the liquid, you can use whatever you like, but don’t add too much. That’s how you’ll get a nice thick texture – I usually go with ¼ to ½ cup of liquid.
Topping Our Triple Berry Smoothie Bowl
I'll be honest and tell you, most of the time my smoothie bowls do NOT look like this! Usually, I just throw everything on top and immediately start devouring it, buuuut it's actually really easy to make a smoothie bowl pretty.
All you need to do is:
- Make sure the top of your smoothie bowl is totally smooth.
- Pick an area of your smoothie bowl you want to decorate! I usually do the side like this or a small strip of toppings on the left or right (kind of on a third of the bowl if you were to divide into three sections)
- Choose your toppings! Go with contrasting colors, use fresh ingredients that are in your smoothie already and always add some crunch.
And that's pretty much it!
my go to berry smoothie
Not only does this smoothie work well for breakfast, it also makes a great option any time of day. I like to add vegan vanilla protein powder for extra flavor, but you could also use hemp seeds, a spoonful of peanut butter, or another mix in you enjoy.
With so many great ingredients blended together, this smoothie bowl is rich, creamy, and incredibly enjoyable to eat.
