A cool, silky, nutritious smoothie—poured in a bowl and adorned with flavorful toppings—what’s not to love about the smoothie bowl trend? It’s the perfect light, satisfying breakfast, lunch, or snack. This vegan, gluten-free Watermelon Chia Ginger Smoothie Bowl calls upon a blend of sweet watermelon, creamy bananas, spicy ginger, and chia and hemp seeds—topped with a creative combo of berries, coconut and granola—creating a balanced, healthy meal to kick start your day. Pour it into a glass jar, top it, and tote it along for a meal on the go. Everyone will be ogling your gorgeous plant-based creation for sure!
The chia seeds create a gel-like consistency, thickening up the smoothie bowl to a creamy texture. If you chill it overnight, it will be even more firm—providing a thick, spoonable texture. Plus those chia seeds are packed with protein and healthy fats. You can get this recipe done in under 10 minutes! Great for meal prep too.
