Best Vegan Oreo Smoothie Bowl

This vegan Oreo smoothie bowl is a decadent healthy dessert packed with nutrients and powerful antioxidants—easy to make at home in just 5 minutes with a handful of simple ingredients.

Why You’ll Love This Smoothie Bowl

• Delicious Oreo flavour
• Super thick
• High in antioxidants

This vegan Oreo smoothie bowl is the ultimate healthy dessert with a super rich and creamy consistency. It’s also quite nutrient-rich for a dessert and is completely plant based! Enjoy it any time of the day for a satiating and healthy(ish) indulgence.

The base of this smoothie bowl is made with frozen coconut milk and bananas. Coconut milk has powerful antioxidants called phenolic compounds. Antioxidants are important because they protect the body from radical cell damage that occurs over time, helping to prevent chronic diseases. Coconut milk is also highly satiating and contains vitamins E, K, B6 and calcium.

Bananas have lots of fibre, which acts as a prebiotic for good gut bacteria. That makes them a great food for a healthy digestive system. It’s easy to achieve the perfect smoothie bowl consistency when combining these two frozen ingredients! Bananas are also a rich source of minerals, potassium and vitamins A and C.

Ingredients Needed

These are the ingredients you will need to make this vegan Oreo smoothie bowl.

Himalayan salt: Balances out the sweetness and brings depth to the other ingredients.

Vanilla extract or bean: Both work well, use whichever you have on hand.

Oreo cookies: The star ingredient! This recipe uses the classic type of Oreo cookies, but the gluten-free variety can also be used if needed. The finished smoothie bowl will taste exactly the same!

Frozen coconut milk cubes: Pour full fat coconut milk into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 6 hours before using.

Frozen bananas: Creates the thick, creamy base of the smoothie bowl and adds sweetness.

Coconut milk: The liquid that brings all of the other ingredients together to blend smoothly and adds a creamy consistency.

Variations

Add protein powder

If you wish to add protein powder to this Oreo smoothie bowl use plain, vanilla or chocolate vegan protein powder. Any of these flavours will go well. Avoid adding tropical, fruity flavoured protein powders because they will clash with the other ingredients.

Try an alternative plant milk

This recipe uses coconut milk but you can try using any plant based milk you prefer. Some alternatives include soy, almond or cashew! You can also make your own plant milk from scratch.

Adjust the consistency

If you prefer a thicker consistency you can try the recipe using a bit less liquid than what is suggested. If you want a thinner consistency, try adding a bit of extra liquid to the recipe.

Instructions 

• Add all ingredients to blender.

• Start blending at low speed for 5-10 seconds. Increase to high speed and blend for 1-2 minutes. Use the blender tamper to push ingredients down towards the blades.

• Scoop into a bowl and add desired toppings. Serve your vegan Oreo smoothie bowl immediately!

Prep & Blending

Add ingredients in the correct order

Always add liquid ingredients to your blender first. Then add powders, nut butters, nuts and seeds. Then add fresh greens and fresh fruit. Finally add your solid ingredients like frozen fruit. If using a small blender container with a twist on lid, reverse the order so that when you turn the container over to blend the frozen ingredients are farthest away from the blades.

Use a tamper

Push ingredients down towards the blades while blending using the tamper that comes with your blender. This helps to avoid thick smoothie bowls from getting stuck, so you don’t have to stop blending and scrape down the sides of the container.

Avoid over blending

Try to blend your smoothie bowl for less than a couple of minutes. If blended for too long, even thick smoothie bowls will become thin. This is because the heat generated by the blades and motor of the blender heat up your ingredients while they are being blended.

Use a high power blender

For smoothie bowls that have a perfectly smooth and creamy texture use a high powered blender such as a Vitamix. A Vitamix can break down any ingredients to much finer particles than standard blenders, and more nutrients are released. A high speed blender also reduces the time you need to blend your recipe, which helps keep it nice and cold.

Chill your bowl

By placing your bowl in the freezer for a few moments you can help your smoothie bowl stay cool for longer. This way it won’t start melting instantly while you are eating it. This is especially helpful if you’re in a hot climate. Pop it into the freezer while you are prepping and blending, then take it out when it’s time to pour your finished smoothie bowl!

FAQ’s

Can I add even more Oreos to the smoothie bowl?

Yes, you can add 2-3 more cookies into the blender, keeping the rest of the recipe as is. Avoid adding more than this as the texture will become too dry and thick to blend properly.

Does it work with gluten free Oreos?

Yes, this recipe works just as well with the gluten free version of Oreo cookies!

Can smoothie bowls be refrigerated?

Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed immediately after blending, while they are freshest. However you can refrigerate most smoothie bowls for 1-2 days in an airtight container such as a jar. Be aware the consistency will not be as thick as a fresh smoothie bowl.

Can I make smoothie bowls without a high speed blender?

Yes, you can still make smoothie bowls with a regular blender. It might take more patience depending on the recipe, but it can work. Turn off the blender to scrape down the sides of the container, and secure the lid before continuing to blend. Repeat as needed. Alternatively you can add a small amount of additional liquid to the recipe, which should help.

How can I increase the protein?

If you wish for your smoothie bowl to have a higher protein content, you can simply add (more) protein powder to the recipe. Plain unsweetened plant based protein will work in any smoothie bowl. Alternatively you can try adding hemp seeds or even silken tofu.
