It’s never to late to start eating healthy. Being healthy should be enjoyable and beginning the day with a healthy smoothie bowl makes it easy to kick start the 3-5 serves of fruits and vegetables that nutritionists recommend*

Get Started

All you really need to kick start a healthy smoothie bowl is a good blender, a handful of fresh or frozen fruit or greens and your liquid of choice.

Here is an easy process to follow when blending the perfect smoothie 

1. Begin with liquid

Always begin your smoothie blend with 1 cup of liquid. This can be either:

• Plant Milk
• Yoghurt
• Fruit Juice
• Coconut Water

This will prevent your blender blade from damage and ensure smooth blending.

2. Next add fruit and/or vegetables

Add in ½ - 1 cup of fruit or vegetables some popular choices being -

• Bananas
• Strawberries
• Blueberries or raspberries
• Mango
• Honeydew melon
• Watermelon
• Papaya (Paw Paw)
• Cantaloupe (Rock melon)
• Cherries
• Apples
• Oranges or lemons
• Pomegranates
• Kale
• Kiwi Fruit
• Avocado
• Spinach Leaf
• Carrot
• Beetroot
• Cauliflower
• Pumpkin

 3 The Blend

Here it’s a little trial and error, because some fruit and vegetables have more water content than others, it's best to start your blend slowly adding more liquid if required.

Once you have the right ratio established you can mix and match fruit and vegetables or even add a protein or superfood to colour, boost nutrition and keep you feeling fuller longer.

Popular nutritional additives are:

• Protein Powders
• Coconut Oil
• Acai Powder
• Macca Powder
• Superfood Powders
• Diet Supplements

3. Add a Sweetener

Finally add a sweetener to taste

• Honey
• Maple syrup
• Natural sugar alternatives
• Sugar free sweeteners

Then simply pour into a coconut bowl and enjoy the blend!

Congratulations, now once you have your blend ratio established there really is no limit to the delicious DIY smoothie bowl blends you can make.

Caring for your Coconut Bowl

Your Coconut bowl and its accessories are 100% plant based, hand polished with coconut oil and like all natural products, will need some special care.

But don't worry, it's not hard.

Here's a few tips.

• Only hand-wash in warm soapy water (normal dishwashing detergent is fine).
• Do NOT put your bowl or accessories in the dishwasher or leave soaking in water for a long time.
• Do NOT place your bowl in the fridge, freezer, microwave or conventional oven.
• Your bowl is suitable for either hot or cold food but sudden changes in temperature can affect the bowl. Rinse first with either warm or cool water to reduce the risk of damage.

Polished Finish Bowls

• The shine on your polished bowl and spoon may fade after several uses, so polishing them with Virgin Coconut Oil or Coconut Wood Wax will restore their natural lustre.

Natural Finish Bowls

• Do NOT put coconut oil (or any other oil) or wax on a bowl with a raw/natural finish. It will soak into the porous/raw finish and darken the colour dramatically.
• Simply wash the bowl and dry with a towel and then allow to dry.
• You may polish the inside of the bowl with oil, being careful not to get it on the outside.
