Adding fresh fruit is a classic and simple way to top off your smoothie bowl. Sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi are all great options. They add natural sweetness, texture, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Dried Fruit

Dried fruit is packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Dried fruits like apricots, raisins, and prunes are high in potassium, which is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure and preventing strokes. They are also rich in iron, which is essential for healthy blood and oxygen transportation throughout the body. Additionally, dried fruits are a good source of dietary fiber, which can help promote regularity and aid in digestion.

Some of our favorites are dried Goji, apricots, figs, and golden berries.

Granola

Granola is a great addition to any smoothie bowl. It adds a crunchy texture and can provide a good source of fiber and healthy fats. Look for low-sugar options or make your own with rolled oats, nuts, and seeds.

Nut Butter

Nut butter is a tasty and healthy way to add some protein and healthy fats to your smoothie bowl. Try almond, peanut, or cashew butter and drizzle it on top of your bowl or mix it in with your smoothie. If you're feeling crazy you can even try a drizzle of Nutella on your bowl!

Coconut Flakes

Coconut flakes add a tropical twist to your smoothie bowl and can also provide some healthy fats. Look for unsweetened options to keep added sugars in check.

Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. They can also help thicken your smoothie bowl and add a fun texture.

Cacao Nibs

Cacao nibs are a chocolate lover's dream. They add a rich, chocolatey flavor to your smoothie bowl and also provide antioxidants and iron.

Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds are another great source of protein and healthy fats. They also add a nutty flavor to your smoothie bowl and can help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Bee Pollen

Bee pollen is a nutrient-dense superfood that can add a sweet, floral flavor to your smoothie bowl. It's also packed with vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and iron.

Nuts

Nuts are a nutrient-dense food that are a great source of healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Nuts are also a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium.

Smoothie bowls offer a fun and creative way to enjoy a healthy and delicious meal. The best toppings are those that add texture, flavor, and nutrition. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect smoothie bowl topping!
