In 2015, the traditional smoothie gives way to the smoothie bowl . We no longer drink it with straw, we eat it with a spoon. Why ? Because it is embellished with fresh fruits and seeds (grated coconut, goji berries, chia seeds etc.) to make it a true ultra-healthy snack.

The smoothie bowl, nutritious breakfast or ultra-healthy snack

The principle of the smoothie bowl : a smoothie based on very antioxidant fruits in the bottom of a bowl, fresh fruits cut on top and a handful of seeds that sprinkles the whole. "Unlike traditional smoothies made with yoghurt, milk or even vegetable milk, the smoothie bowl contains only the fruit pulp," explains Angèle Ferreux-Maeght , queen of organic produce and author of " Délicieusement Green" .

We do not eat it with straw but we eat it with a spoon. Still, nothing to do with a dessert . The smoothie bowl is a nutritious breakfast or a snack for all that is healthiest. "The whole thing is to eat it separated from meals so as not to cut our digestion," she says.

Privileged Products and Banished Bowling Smoothies

The main thing when cooking a smoothie bowl : play with colors. It must be pretty and it makes you want. We can obviously mix vegetables and fruits, a good alternative if we do not consume enough, for example.

- We favor seasonal fruits and vegetables. Avocado, brugnon and cabbage kale or pear, banana and cabbage kale are 2 very good associations. Seeds level, we put on almonds, chia seeds, brazil nuts, seeds of pumpkin, sunflower or hulled hemp. Regardless, we always take care to soak before.

- Bowls made with citrus fruits (except lemon) are avoided , often too acidic for the stomach. Level seeds, we drop the peanuts, too fat.

The smoothie bowl, the new Instagram trend

It is well known, social networks are largely precursors of new trends. The world of food is no exception to the rule, on the contrary: we love to take a picture of what we eat, especially when it's beautiful ... This is how the smoothie bowl , after investing Instagram , makes its entrance in our kitchens. However, it has been consumed since the beginning of time in Brazil and California . "Surfers are followers of the smoothie bowl," explains Angèle Ferreux-Maeght. Wherever surf is developed, we eat it regularly. "
