This quick and easy peach raspberry smoothie bowl with fresh fruit and spinach makes for a healthy breakfast or snack.
I was compensated for participating in this campaign, but as always, the content and opinions here are my own.
Are you guys on board with the smoothie bowl phenomenon?
I kinda love it. I mean, I definitely love a smoothie. But there’s something about sucking it down through a straw and being done in 0.8 seconds that leaves me a little less than satisfied.
I like to eat my food, not drink it. (So you won’t see any juicing from me anytime soon.)
But a smoothie bowl? Loaded up with toppings? I’m totally in for that.
As are my kiddos. They love a smoothie in any form but they think these peach raspberry smoothie bowls with spinach are especially fun.
J kept saying, “Raberries swim in my bowl." Tee hee. We’re currently in swim lessons so this seems especially fitting. M liked the “sprinkles” — aka, chia seeds that I sprinkled on top.
And I love that it’s a super nutritious, wholesome bowl for them to enjoy at breakfast or for a morning or afternoon snack.
Bonus: It's super quick and easy to make.
Just throw everything into the blender and away you go! It even looks gorgeous in the blender, doesn't it?
Speaking of kids and healthy eating, I’m thrilled to help support a campaign by Produce for Kids® with Publix that launched last week and runs through June 29.
It will raise funds for local Feeding America® food banks and offer Publix shoppers healthy meal solutions, recipes and tips.
The campaign encourages people to add more fruits and vegetables to their carts this month to support healthy kids.
Visit ProduceForKids.com/Publix for more information and follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for more recipe ideas and healthy eating tips.
Tip: I use fresh fruit here, but frozen fruit can be used as well. Just make sure to allow it time to defrost a bit so you can blend it more easily.
So whip up a smoothie bowl and dig in to the taste of summer.
Enjoy!
XO,
Kathryn

I've recently gotten into smoothie bowls! Love how you can combine a bunch of ingredients from what's in the fridge and make something that not only tastes good, but looks pretty. So cute - raspberries swimming in the bowl 🙂 Great way to get the kiddos to eat their fruit and veggies. Love how you sneaked spinach in there. You would never had guessed from the colour. Pinned, of course! Have a lovely week, Kathryn!
Kathryn
Thanks Dawn! I'm all kinds of sneaky like that 😉 Except I tell them, so it's not really all that sneaky! Have a wonderful week!
Jessica @ Citrus Blossom Bliss
I've yet to make a smoothie bowl but I love how pretty and nutritious they are. The no smoothie bowl streak ends here!
Kathryn
You will love them Jessica! Endless variations and such a lovely way to start the day!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
All summer!!! This should be called a summer bowl not a smoothie bowl 😉
Kathryn
Good call Rebecca! It really is the taste of summer on a spoon 🙂
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary
I'm with you, I don't know why, but I'd much rather eat my food than drink it. So much more satisfying! I remember when my dad got me a juicer years ago for Christmas.. i was like, huh?? You know I'm never going to use this right? Lol. Anyways, love me some smoothie bowls and this one looks fab!! So pretty and delicious! Cheers, friend!
Kathryn
I'm with you - spoons over straws! XO

Smoothie bowls for the win - this one looks so good, I can't get enough of peaches and this is perfect for summer! Also I love that you snuck some spinach in there, great way to get those greens!
Kathryn
Thanks Michelle! Doesn't change the taste (or even color) but the spinach definitely adds a nice nutritional punch 🙂
Liz @ Ready to Yumble
Looks so fresh and delicious! I'm with you, eating a smoothie bowl >>>> juicing!
Kathryn

Rachelle @ Beer Girl Cooks
I've never actually had a smoothie bowl, but ever since I got a Vitamix, I've been blending up all kinds of produce! I wouldn't mind swimming in that bowl of deliciousness too!
Kathryn
DOOOO it Rachelle! You'll love the smoothie bowl fruity goodness for a morning fuel-up 🙂
Heather Seeley
First off, I think I would have to say peaches and raspberries at the top of my favorite fruit list so this smoothie bowl is looking all kinds of delicious! I will have to try making this for my littles, we are always trying to find something good and filling for breakfast. Can't wait to try it!
Kathryn
Thanks Heather! I love those two fruits too - and love them together 🙂 Hope you give this a try with your kiddos!

I'm always for smoothie bowls! Love these healthy peach-raspberry bowls. Looks delicious.
Kathryn
Aren't they such a fun and easy breakfast?! This is one of our favorite summer combos 🙂
Alli @ Tornadough Alli
Kathryn these look amazing. I've seen them around but haven't actually looked at a recipe until now. I think you have convinced me to make one of these delicious things. I agree when you'd rather eat and not drink your food. This looks to die for.
Kathryn
Thanks so much Alli! It's such a great way to start the day - and so super easy! 🙂
