Today is going to be a little different. It is a new year, and I have a confession for you. I need to get my exercise back on track. I have been gaining weight, and it isn’t fun. Blogging has been my dream job, but the sweet recipes are finally catching up with me.
You would probably laugh at me :-). I am not very coordinated, but I am starting to feel less embarrassed. (I am the one who hides in the back of the class and does every move opposite to the instructor!) This delicious Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothie Bowl with a chopped-up ZonePerfect’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Nutrition Bar is my new go-to breakfast.

Allergen Information:
This strawberry smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and soy-free. (Note, the energy bars do have nuts and oats.)
Are you ready to see how easy making this strawberry smoothie bowl is? Note: this smoothie recipe also makes a great Gluten Free Freezer Meal by making and freezing it for later.
This Vitamix is one of my favorite kitchen appliances of all time. I use it to make soup, ice cream, sorbet, smoothies, cream sauces, and more. It is quick and powerful. Clean up is also really easy!
How To Make A Strawberry Smoothie Bowl:
The first step is to chop up a protein bar into bite-sized pieces. These are good, so try not to pop too many into your mouth as you cut them. You won’t have any left for your strawberry smoothie bowl!
Step 1: Blend all smoothie ingredients in a Vitamix or Blender. Fresh strawberries give this breakfast smoothie a beautiful pink color!
Step 2: Top with your favorite ingredients, such as fresh strawberries, shredded unsweetened coconut, pecans, and protein bar pieces.Â
You can also make frozen popsicles out of this smoothie, as I did in this Fruity Protein Popsicles recipe.
Recipe FAQ:
I love thicker, creamier smoothie bowls, so I like to add certified gluten free oats to the smoothie. This thickens up the smoothie beautifully and adds extra nutrition too!
To keep the consistency of the smoothies, you can add mango, pineapple, or even your favorite nut butter to this smoothie recipe.
You can definitely use different fruits, so feel free to change things up and try fruits like raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, and more!
