This quick and easy smoothie bowl with peaches, raspberries and spinach makes for a healthy breakfast or snack.
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 and spinach smoothie bowls 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.
And super fast. 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. You know I’m all about that! Just shop at Publix this month and buy produce from the participating sponsors to help raise money for those in need.
Here are the 13 fruit and veggie suppliers supporting the campaign: Avocados from Mexico, Driscoll’s, Fresh Express Salads, Del Monte, Wonderful Pistachios, BUDDY FRUITS, Crunch Pak, Coast Tropical Florida, HMC Farms, Brandt Farms, Marie’s Dressing, Shuman Produce and J&D Produce “Little Bear.”
Plenty of great fruits and veggies to choose from!
Last year, the campaign raised more than $206,000, which provided 2,275,295 meals to families in need through Feeding America. Very impressive.
Visit ProduceForKids.com/Publix for more information on how to support the campaign and follow Produce for Kids on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for more recipe ideas and healthy eating tips.
And then whip up a smoothie bowl and dig in to the taste of summer.
Enjoy — and have a great start to the week!
Peach, raspberry + spinach smoothie bowl
This easy fruit and greens smoothie bowl makes a healthy breakfast or snack!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, pit removed and roughly chopped
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and broken into chunks
- 6 oz. package raspberries
- 1 big handful fresh spinach leaves
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use non-fat)
- 1/3-2/3 cup milk (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-2 teaspoons honey (optional/as needed, see notes)
- Topping ideas: sliced banana, sliced peaches, raspberries, chia seeds, granola, shredded coconut, crushed cereal
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (except the toppings) in a blender, starting with just 1/3 cup milk. Blend well. Add extra milk as needed to get it to your desired consistency.
- Pour smoothie into a bowl, add desired toppings and serve!
Recipe Notes
I use soy or regular (2% or skim) milk for our smoothie bowls, because that’s what I keep on hand. You could certainly use almond milk as well.
If your bananas and peaches are very ripe and sweet, you probably won’t need any honey. Blend everything together, taste your smoothie and then add honey, a teaspoon at a time, if you want it a bit sweeter. (Also, honey is not recommended for babies under 1 year old, so leave it out if yours are that young.)
This made enough for 4 smoothies for my kids, but they are young. If older kids or adults are eating these, it would be enough for 2-3 large smoothie bowls.
Extras of the smoothie may be kept, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

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!
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!
I’ve yet to make a smoothie bowl but I love how pretty and nutritious they are. The no smoothie bowl streak ends here!
You will love them Jessica! Endless variations and such a lovely way to start the day!
All summer!!! This should be called a summer bowl not a smoothie bowl 😉
Good call Rebecca! It really is the taste of summer on a spoon 🙂
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!
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!
Thanks Michelle! Doesn’t change the taste (or even color) but the spinach definitely adds a nice nutritional punch 🙂
Looks so fresh and delicious! I’m with you, eating a smoothie bowl >>>> juicing!
Ha, glad you’re on team smoothie bowl with me! Thanks Liz!
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!
DOOOO it Rachelle! You’ll love the smoothie bowl fruity goodness for a morning fuel-up 🙂
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!
Thanks Heather! I love those two fruits too – and love them together 🙂 Hope you give this a try with your kiddos!
This looks so pretty…and I love peaches and raspberries! I think I’ll try this for breakfast soon 🙂
Hope you do Wajeeha! It’s such a yummy, healthy start to the day 🙂
I’m always for smoothie bowls! Love these healthy peach-raspberry bowls. Looks delicious.
Aren’t they such a fun and easy breakfast?! This is one of our favorite summer combos 🙂
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.
Thanks so much Alli! It’s such a great way to start the day – and so super easy! 🙂
I love how you snuck the spinach in there! Spoons over straws cracked me up! Thanks for sharing this with us at Throwback Thursday this week!

Haha, thanks Mollie 🙂
