Love Potion Smoothie Bowl Recipe

I made this Love Potion Smoothie Bowl when I wanted something bright, healthy, and a little magical. From the moment I blended the ingredients, I knew it would be more than just a smoothie—it’s a treat for the eyes and the taste buds. The vibrant pink color immediately lifted my mood, and the creamy texture was irresistible.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Frozen strawberries – 1 cup gives the bowl a natural pink color and sweet flavor; frozen keeps the texture thick
  • Frozen raspberries – ½ cup adds tanginess that balances sweetness and enhances color
  • Small cooked beet – ½ cup chopped (adds earthy sweetness and deep pink color; cooked blends better than raw)
  • Frozen banana – 1 medium adds creaminess and natural sweetness; freeze ripe banana for best flavor
  • Greek yogurt – ½ cup adds protein and richness; plain yogurt keeps fruit flavors dominant
  • Almond milk – ¼ to ½ cup helps blend ingredients without making the bowl runny; add gradually
  • Honey or maple syrup – 1 to 2 teaspoons optional (enhances sweetness if fruit is tart)
  • Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon gives a dessert-like aroma and depth of flavor
  • Toppings – as needed: sliced strawberries coconut flakes, chia seeds, granola (adds texture and visual appeal)

Method
 

  1. I start by gathering all frozen fruits and chopping the cooked beet into small pieces. Smaller chunks blend faster and create a smooth texture. Prepping ahead ensures everything goes into the blender quickly.
  2. I add frozen strawberries, raspberries, banana, beet, yogurt, vanilla, and honey to the blender. Then I pour in a small amount of almond milk. Less liquid keeps the bowl thick, so I only add more if necessary.
  3. I blend on low first, then increase speed, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed. The goal is a soft-serve texture—not a smoothie drink. This is my favorite part because you see the vibrant pink come to life.
  4. I always taste before serving. If it needs more sweetness or a stronger vanilla note, I add a tiny bit. These small tweaks make the flavor truly pop.
  5. I spoon the smoothie into bowls right away, making sure the surface is smooth for topping. It’s best served cold, so it keeps that creamy, thick texture.

Notes

  • I always use frozen fruit to ensure the bowl is thick, not watery.
  • Cooked beet is softer and blends without leaving chunks.
  • I blend just enough to combine ingredients; over-blending warms the bowl.
  • Chilling my serving bowls beforehand keeps the smoothie icy longer.
  • I keep toppings minimal to let the natural pink color shine.
