Cookie Monster Smoothie Bowl

This Cookie Monster Smoothie Bowl is creamy, colorful, and loaded with nutritious ingredients while still feeling like a fun treat. I love how the blue spirulina gives it a vibrant hue, and the addition of keto cookie dough on top makes it extra indulgent without the sugar.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this smoothie bowl because it’s thick, refreshing, and packed with protein and healthy fats. The frozen banana, cauliflower, and avocado blend into a creamy base, while the protein powder and coconut milk make it filling enough for breakfast or a post-workout meal. I also enjoy how fun it looks bright blue with cookie dough chunks sprinkled on top.

2. I blend on high until thick and smooth, adding more milk only if needed to help it blend.

4. I break the keto cookie dough into chunks and scatter them over the bowl.
5. I serve right away with a spoon and enjoy it cold.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes about 1 smoothie bowl. It takes me around 5 minutes to prepare, so it’s a quick and easy meal or snack.

Variations

Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens, even though the spirulina keeps it blue. I also like to change up the toppings with sugar-free chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts. If I want it sweeter, I add a few drops of liquid stevia.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer eating this smoothie bowl fresh, since the texture is best right after blending. If I have leftovers, I store them in the freezer for up to 1 month and thaw slightly before re-blending. This recipe doesn’t need reheating.

FAQs

Can I make this smoothie bowl without banana?

Yes, I can replace the banana with more frozen cauliflower or avocado to keep it low-carb.

What kind of protein powder works best?

I like using a vanilla or unflavored protein powder, but chocolate also works for a different flavor.

Can I skip the spirulina?

Yes, the spirulina is just for color and a little boost of nutrients. The flavor doesn’t change much without it.

How do I make the texture thicker?

I use less liquid and make sure all my ingredients are frozen.

Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk?

Yes, any milk works, but I keep it keto by using unsweetened almond or coconut milk.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I don’t recommend blending it ahead, but I prep the frozen ingredients in a bag so it’s ready to blend quickly.

Does the cauliflower change the flavor?

No, it blends in smoothly and adds thickness without being noticeable.

Can I add chocolate to this bowl?

Yes, I often top it with sugar-free chocolate chips or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.

How do I make the cookie dough keto-friendly?

I use almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, and sugar-free chocolate chips for the dough.

Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?

I prefer frozen for the thick, ice cream-like texture, but fresh fruit works if I add ice cubes.

Conclusion

I love making this Cookie Monster Smoothie Bowl because it’s nutritious, fun, and feels like dessert in a bowl. With its creamy texture, bright blue color, and chunks of keto cookie dough, it always makes breakfast or snack time feel a little more exciting.
