Dining Hall Hacks: How to Make a Smoothie Bowl

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at SMU chapter.

How to Make a Smoothie Bowl in Arnold Dining Commons

Step 1: Gather 4 Ingredients

This smoothie bowl only needs 4 ingredients, so it is super fast and easy to make before class. You will need a banana, granola, berries, and a smoothie made by the Arnold staff.

Step 2: Pour the Smoothie into a Bowl

Sometimes the smoothies are not thick enough to eat with a spoon. In this case, you can add yogurt to make it thicker.

Step 3: Add Banana

Cut up the banana and put it in the bowl. You probably won’t need the whole banana, so you can eat the leftover banana by itself.

Step 4: Add Granola

Arnold has the best granola–it is made from Nature Valley’s Oats n’ Honey bar. Add it to your smoothie bowl along with extra honey if the granola isn’t sweet enough for you.

Step 5: Add Berries

On a lucky day, Arnold will serve strawberries or blueberries along with their usual assortment of cantaloupe, pineapple, and honeydew melon. You can cut up some strawberries to add to the bowl or use blueberries, depending on what is available.

And there you have it–a smoothie bowl that will (almost) rival Nekter’s Acai Banana Berry Bowl.
