Strawberry Maca Smoothie Bowl

Last Updated on December 20, 2023 by Christin Gillespie

This Strawberry Maca Smoothie Bowl is such a delicious treat. It’s a healthy vegan and gluten-free breakfast that comes together in 5 minutes. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy this tasty smoothie bowl with a spoon!

A strawberry and banana smoothie is great on its own, but when you add maca powder, it takes it to a whole new level. These two fruits, along with maca powder, blend perfectly together to transpire a nutritious and delicious smoothie bowl. It’s a great breakfast, snack, or post-workout fuel.

What is Maca?

Maca powder is highly nutritious, loaded with vitamins, and has so many benefits. It also increases energy and is loaded with fiber, to keep your digestive system happy. Plus, maca has a nutty flavor, which makes it a perfect addition to this smoothie bowl recipe.

Strawberry Maca Smoothie Bowl Ingridents

This maca smoothie bowl only requires 5 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make.

• Organic Frozen Strawberries: Strawberries are packed with antioxidants and contain several vitamins.
• Organic Banana: A frozen banana adds more sweetness and creaminess to this smoothie bowl.
• Organic Unsweetened Non-dairy Milk: You only need a little liquid to blend, since it’s a smoothie bowl. I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk that you enjoy.
• Organic Maca Powder: The essential ingredient for this maca smoothie bowl.
• Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Flaxseeds are loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

How to make this smoothie bowl

This Strawberry Maca Smoothie Bowl is so simple to make. It just takes no time to enjoy this delicious and nutritious treat.

1. Add: To begin, add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend: Starting on a low speed, use a tamper to help ingredients blend. Pausing & scraping down sides of the blender as needed. If necessary, add additional non-dairy milk in 1/4 cup increments, until a thick, smooth texture is achieved.
3. Serve: Transfer to a chilled bowl. Top with chocolate coconut granola and melted dark chocolate. Enjoy!

Smoothie Bowl Toppings

It wouldn’t be a smoothie bowl, without toppings. I topped my Strawberry Maca Smoothie Bowl with my homemade chocolate coconut granola and a drizzle of melted dark chocolate, but you can top your maca smoothie bowl treat with whatever you like!

Fresh versus Frozen Fruit

The key to making thick and creamy smoothie bowls is by using frozen fruit. Using frozen fruits will thicken your smoothie, so that you can add toppings, without them sinking. Also, don’t add too much liquid, because it is a smoothie bowl after all. I usually start with a little non-dairy milk and add more, if needed, until I reach the desired thickness. 

Tips for Making the Perfect Smoothie Bowl

To make the perfect smoothie bowl, make sure to follow these recommendations!

• Be sure to use a frozen fruit to achieve a thick consistency.
• Start with a little liquid as possible, and add more only as needed. You can always add more, but once you add too much, you can’t go back! Pausing in between blending to scrape down sides helps as well.
• Use a high-speed blender, with a tamper, to ensure that your smoothie bowl achieves a thick and creamy texture.
• Place your serving bowl in the freezer before you begin preparing this recipe and remove it when smoothie is ready. This will ensure that your smoothie bowl stays cold as you enjoy it.

Smoothie Bowl FAQ’s

Can I make this Smoothie Bowl a Smoothie?

Most definitely! This smoothie bowl can be as thick or thin as you desire. Add extra non-dairy milk, about a cup, to make this smoothie bowl a smoothie.

Can I add Protein Powder?

Yes! To increase the protein content of this smoothie bowl, add a scoop of your favorite organic protein powder. I recommend using an unflavored version for this smoothie bowl recipe.

Unfortunately, no. I do not recommend making this smoothie bowl in advance. However, you can definitely prep all the ingredients the night before by adding them to a freezer safe bag. That way when you’re ready for it, all you need to do is add the ingredients, along with non-dairy milk to your high-speed blender.
