Ninja Creami Smoothie Bowl
Smoothie bowls are one of the best things to make in the Ninja Creami! You can make them ahead and get that perfectly scoop-able smoothie.
Ingredients
- Frozen or fresh fruit (I use frozen for convenience)
- Liquid/Milk (I use almond milk, but this could be any milk that you prefer, or even another drink like juice)
- Toppings (To add after you spin)
I blend up all my ingredients in a regular blender first to create a consistent base to freeze. I use a 2:1 fruit to milk ratio. To fill each container, I blended 2 cups of fruit with 1 cup of liquid.
I spin them without adding much extra liquid, for more of an ice cream texture. But you could fill them a bit less before freezing and add more liquid in the spinning process.
After the Creami base is ready to eat, top with your desired extras! I got French Vanilla Almond granola to add.

So glad you're diving into the world of Ninja Creami fruit smoothie bowls! Once you master the basic recipe, there's so much more you can explore to make them truly your own. I've found that experimenting with different fruit combinations is half the fun. While my go-to is often a blend with a Good & Gather Triple Berry Blend for that vibrant color and antioxidant boost, don't shy away from tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, or even a mix of banana and spinach for a green boost you won't even taste! For liquids, Good & Gather Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk is my staple for a creamy, low-calorie base, but coconut water can give you a lighter, more refreshing feel, especially with tropical fruits. If you're looking to add a protein punch, a scoop of your favorite protein powder (vanilla or unflavored works best) blends in beautifully before freezing. Just remember to adjust your liquid ever so slightly to maintain that perfect consistency. Sometimes, after the first spin, your smoothie bowl might still look a bit crumbly – don't worry, that's totally normal! This often happens if your mixture was slightly too frozen or had less liquid. My trick is to add just a tiny splash of extra milk (start with a tablespoon!) and hit the 'Re-spin' button. This usually transforms it into that silky, scoopable texture we all crave. Avoid adding too much liquid at once, as it can turn it soupy. Another pro tip: the type of fruit matters! High-water content fruits like watermelon might yield an icier result, while bananas and avocados create a naturally creamier base. For the best ice cream texture, I find that a good mix of berries and a creamy element (like a bit of banana or even some Greek yogurt blended in before freezing) works wonders. And toppings! Oh, the toppings! Beyond my beloved Good & Gather French Vanilla Almond Granola, think about shredded coconut, chia seeds for extra fiber, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, fresh fruit slices, or even a dollop of nut butter. These aren't just for decoration; they add texture, flavor, and extra nutrients, making your smoothie bowl a complete and satisfying meal. Making these bowls ahead of time is a game-changer for busy mornings. I often prep several containers on a Sunday, so I just have to pull one out, spin it, and add toppings throughout the week. It’s like having a healthy, homemade treat ready at a moment’s notice! Experiment, have fun, and enjoy your delicious, perfectly customized Ninja Creami creations!
