Green Matcha Smoothie Bowl by Cooktoria

Matcha is our go-to drink whenever we go to a coffee shop. We never thought to include it in a smoothie, but it makes perfect sense. As Cooktopia says, matcha has an ongoing list of health benefits, including disease prevention and metabolism boosts. The author combines it with kiwis and bananas to become a green delight.

Mermaid Smoothie Bowl by EatingWell

Something about blue foods is exciting—almost like a childlike urge to gravitate toward unusual colors. This mermaid-inspired one from EatingWell packs on even more charm because, well, mythical creatures! Aesthetics aside, this smoothie bowl has to be the most succulent on the list because of its tropical blend of pineapple, blue spirulina and Fuji apples.

Strawberries & Cream Smoothie Bowl by The Hint of Rosemary

If we were to purchase a smoothie, it would probably be a strawberry one. So, we had to find at least one recipe that included our usual. But this isn't your average strawberry bowl. It's strawberries and cream. That means it'll be much sweeter. It has vanilla and milk to balance the tart berry flavor.
