Smoothie Bowl Ideas For Special Events
If you're looking for something refreshingly healthy to serve guests at your next special event, consider putting smoothie bowls on the menu. Not only are the bowls fresh and delicious, but they're also easy to customize and will please party-goers of all ages.
Smoothie bowls typically consist of a blend of both fresh and frozen fruits, yogurt or a milk of your choice, and toppings including seeds, nuts, and granola. You can also add any other ingredient you'd find in a traditional smoothie, but these versions are poured into a bowl rather than a cup. Eating smoothies with a spoon instead of through a straw will allow you to add thicker ingredients, and turn them into more substantial meals.
Smoothie bowls are perfect party food because guests can make their own creations, and easily eat them as they mix and mingle with the crowd. If you'll have young attendees, provide child-friendly ingredients, which will also encourage them to eat healthier.
Serve smoothie bowls at any type of event or special occasion, including kids' and adults' birthday parties, family and corporate holiday get-togethers, anniversary and graduation celebrations, bridal and baby showers, and even wedding receptions. Although they are traditionally served for breakfast, smoothie bowls will work for brunch soirees, lunch, or even as light and healthy desserts at dinner parties.
Here are some smoothie bowl ideas to get you started.
1. Tropical Smoothie Bowls
If you're planning a tropical-inspired event complete with island-themed decorations and music, treat guests to coordinating smoothie bowls. Either buy them pre-made from a restaurant or assemble them yourself. You can also set up a buffet-style table with various ingredients and have guests make their own bowls.
As one option, blend coconut milk with any type of fresh or frozen tropical fruit, such as mango, papaya, and pineapple. Pour the mixture into a bowl and top with macadamia nuts and dried, shredded coconut. You can also add sliced fruit on top, as well as granola.
2. Color-Themed Smoothie Bowls
Another fun way to serve smoothie bowls at a special event is by coordinating the color to the theme. For instance, mix up pink bowls for a girl's baby shower. Start by blending red fruits, such as raspberries and strawberries, with Greek yogurt or regular, coconut, almond, or oat milk.
Pour the mixture into bowls and top with more berries sliced bananas, raspberry or strawberry jam, chia seeds, and any type of nuts.
