Nothing is better than fresh summer fruits and serving it up this way is not only fun but easy. Almost as fun and easy as our Yogurt Banana Split and No Bake Apple Donuts.
My kids can be quite picky about what fruits they eat raw but put them in a smoothie and watch them disappear! Even berries they claim to dislike are enjoyed every sip of the way.
If desired, you can serve up your watermelon breakfast smoothie in a glass with a straw, but it's thick enough that you may need a spoon, so serving it up in a bowl is a great idea.

🛒 Ingredients
Frozen watermelon. Use store bought frozen watermelon or freeze leftover watermelon on a baking sheet overnight.
Blueberries. Fresh or frozen both work. Adjust the amount to deepen the purple color. Use extras in Red White and Blueberry Muffins or Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
Vanilla frozen yogurt. Keeps the smoothie thick and creamy. Regular or Greek yogurt can be used if needed.
See the recipe card below for full ingredients and instructions.
💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit blends are often cheaper than fresh and prevent waste. You can also freeze your own fruit when it's on sale to use later in smoothie bowls.
Stretch with banana. Bananas are one of the most affordable fruits and help thicken the bowl without needing extra yogurt.
Keep toppings simple. A few pieces of fruit or a sprinkle of nuts are plenty, no need for expensive superfood toppings.
Swap yogurt as needed. Frozen yogurt, Greek yogurt, or even regular yogurt all work, so use whatever option is most affordable or already in your fridge.
