Viva Bowls has brought much excitement and buzz to Newark within the past few weeks. The anticipation of smoothie bowls on Main Street has been built up ever since the trend started. They offer a healthy and affordable way for a nutritious and delicious snack or meal. Kelly Hartranft, owner of Viva Bowls, was eager to open her store front at 280 East Main Street Suite 110. In hopes of opening more stores within the area and state, she is excited to serve her healthy smoothies and fruit smoothie bowls to UD's community.
So far, her store is already providing plenty of wholesome and tasty options that have been in high-demand since the opening of Viva Bowls. The popularity of this new spot has proved the quality of whats being offered. If you have not heard of the widely popular trend of smoothie bowls, they consist of a variety of fruit bases blended with a liquid (usually almond or coconut milk) and topped with any amount of superfoods to add a delicious and nutritional crunch.
The combinations at Viva Bowls start with choosing between pitaya, açaí, green or banana bases. Pitaya includes dragon fruit, banana, mango, and almond milk, while açaí is a blend of banana, berries, and coconut water. The Green base has avocado, spinach, mango, and vanilla almond milk, and the banana base consists of banana, local DE honey and almond milk.
Once the base in chosen, one has the freedom to choose the desired toppings. The options include superfoods like chia seeds and goji berries, fresh fruit and nut butters. The delicious coconut peanut butter and vanilla espresso almond butter are made in-house and definitely the best way to top a bowl off. They add a creaminess and nutty flavor that blends well with the fruit base. All bowl options turn out to taste as good as they look and are accompanied with a flower on top to finish it off.
