My newest breakfast obsession! I have been making these pretty much every day for the last couple of weeks now and absolutely love them! Super delicious and nutritious! I have gotten several requests for the recipe, but to be honest with you all no two powerbowls I’ve made so fare have been the same. And that’s the beauty of it..you can easily change it up every single day to fit your needs and likings. You can make a chocolate powerbowl, a berry powerbowl, a banana powerbowl, a tropical powerbowl,…the options are endless! Depending on what you use you can easily get a different outcome every single time. I have posted a video on my instagram account before on how I make these but after getting multiple requests to do a blog post finally have decided to write a blog post on these powerbowls aswell.

Step 1: basically you want to start of with some kind of fruit.
You could use anything, a banana, berries, apple, nectarine, pineapple….anything! The choices are endless! Keep the final product you want to create in the back of your head. So for instance if you want to make a chocolate powerbowl your best options are probably a banana or dates. However if you’re opting for a tropical powerbowl, you might want to stick to more of the tropical fruits like pineapple or mango.
Step 2: Add the liquid
You could use anything ranging from raw cows milk, to coconut milk, coconut water or even just plain water. Whatever you have around that day, are in the mood for and floats your boat.
Step 3: Add the protein powder
I personally like using the protein blend form sunwarrior, a clean, healthy, raw and vegan protein powder. But you could use whatever protein powder you have/like. Depending on the powerbowl I’m making I’ll either use vanilla, chocolate or neutral. (If you’d like you could also go ahead and add some oats at this point).
Step 4 (Optional): Add that nutritional punch
Now this is where the fun part begins. I personally like to throw a bunch of superfoods and/or greens into my powerbowls for that added nutritional punch and benefits. if you don’t add too much you usually can’t taste it and still get all the benefits. Win win situation. You definitely don’t need any of these items to make a powerbowl thought and can very well also make it without.
Examples of superfoods I like to throw into my bowl:
- Handful of spinach
- Avocado
- Raw cacao powder (if making a chocolate powerbowl)
- Spirulina
- Aloe Vera
- Mesquite
- Lucuma
- Maca
- Physillium husk
- Cinammon
- Barleygrass
- Wheatgrass
- Reishi mushroom powder
Step 5: Blend
Now just blend everything together until you’re left with a thick smoothie like consistency.
Step 6: Add topping
You could use anything you like. Here are a few examples and the items I personally love topping my powerbowls with. This gives it that nice crunch and makes the whole thing interesting.
- Raw Cacao Nibs
- Shredded Coconut
- Bee Pollen
- Fruit
- Cruhsed nuts
- Nut Butter
- Buckwheat
- Oats
And you’re done 🙂 Enjoy! If you end up making one and would like to share, I would love to see all the wonderful creation you all come up with! So feel free to tag me in your pictures or send me your wonderful creations.
Have a lovely and healthy day guys, xxx
