Are you over the ‘green smoothie’ trend? Why not try a blackberry smoothie bowl. With only three ingredients and a short pulse in the blender, the resulting mixture will be thick, smooth and delightfully sweet. Easy, homemade watermelon popsicles are served on the side for a fun breakfast for kids.
For an added nutritional boost (and pop of color), you can make some watermelon popsicles ahead of time. Simply blend some watermelon and a bit of honey until smooth, pour into popsicle molds and freeze.
When the popsicles are solid, add them to your bowl as an extra special way to enjoy your breakfast. Kids especially love them!

Blackberry Smoothie Bowl Ingredients
- frozen blackberries - I buy them pre-frozen from the grocery store for convenience.
- Greek yogurt - I use full fat but you can go with light Greek yogurt if you prefer.
- honey - You can substitute with agave nectar if desired. I find that agave blends better into cold smoothies than honey.
- toppings - Add some fresh blackberries, mint, cantaloupe (check out how to peel and cut a cantaloupe), strawberries, pineapples, chia seeds, and/or oats to further boost the nutritional benefits of this beautiful smoothie bowl and add some contrasting textures.
- watermelon - To make the natural watermelon popsicles.
*Check recipe card for ingredient amounts.
