How to Make a Thick Smoothie Bowl
If your cafe serves smoothie bowls, you already know the difference a perfectly thick base makes. It holds toppings, looks stunning, and keeps guests full longer. But getting that creamy, scoopable consistency—without a blender meltdown—can take a little know-how.
This guide walks you through the essentials, from ingredient choices to blending technique, plus pro tips to help Aussie cafes elevate presentation and speed up service. We’ll also spotlight some of our premium ingredients that add flavour, nutrition, and a touch of wow to every bowl.
What Makes a Smoothie Bowl Thick (and Why It Matters)
A thick smoothie bowl comes down to three things.
- High ratio of frozen to liquid
- The right thickeners (think banana, mango, avocado, Greek yoghurt, or plant-based alternatives)
- A patient, pulsed blending method
Why Thickness Matters
- Better texture. Think spoonable, not sippable.
- Topping support. Granola, fruit, seeds, and drizzles stay on top rather than sinking.
- Satiety. More fibre, less dilution. Guests feel nourished and satisfied.
In short, that’s less liquid, more frozen produce, and careful blending.
The Core Ingredients for a Thick Base
Choose a base that suits your menu and dietary preferences. Here’s how each ingredient pulls its weight.
Frozen Fruits (the foundation)
Banana
The secret to a smooth and creamy smoothie. Use ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen to lock in their natural sweetness and ensure a velvety texture every time. Bananas also serve as a natural thickener, making them a key ingredient in most smoothie recipes.
Mango
Adds both body and a deliciously sweet flavour. It’s natural sugars balance tart ingredients, and its silky texture enhances the overall consistency of your smoothie.
Berries
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries—berries not only bring a burst of vibrant colour but are also packed with antioxidants and essential vitamins. They pair perfectly with creamier fruits, such as bananas, to provide balance while boosting the health factor.
Pineapple
A tart, tangy fruit that introduces bright acidity to your smoothie. Like most fruits, pineapple works best when paired with bananas.
Tip: Pre-portion your frozen fruits in compostable bags or reusable containers. This ensures consistent yields, reduces prep time, and helps maintain a seamless workflow for faster service. Preparing in advance means you’ll always have the perfect mix of fruits ready to go!
Thickeners (extra creaminess)
Greek yoghurt
Its rich, creamy texture brings everything together for a smooth, satisfying consistency. It also adds a subtle tang that pairs well with fruity or nutty flavours. Plus, Greek yogurt is full of protein and probiotics.
Avocado
Avocado thickens the smoothie while giving it a smooth, rich consistency. Packed with healthy fats, it adds nutrients and keeps the smoothie filling. Plus, it blends well with both sweet and savoury ingredients, making it perfect for any smoothie recipe.
Silken tofu
Its soft, velvety texture blends easily, giving the smoothie a rich consistency without overpowering other flavours. Silken tofu is also a great source of plant-based protein, making it ideal for a nutritional boost.
Nut butters
They not only enhance the texture but also add a naturally rich flavour that pairs beautifully with fruits, chocolates, or even spices. Nut butters are also packed with healthy fats and protein, making your smoothie more filling and nutritious.
Powders and Add-ins
Protein powder
Whether you choose whey or plant-based options, these protein sources not only thicken your smoothies or meals but also help keep your customers feeling full and satisfied for longer.
Oats
Adding a tablespoon or two can enhance the texture and body of your dish without overpowering or altering its original flavour. It’s a simple way to create a more balanced and satisfying consistency.
Superfood powders
Superfood powders are a secret weapon when it comes to smoothie bowls. Vibrant fruits and vegetables can add colour, texture, and a nutritional boost, and can even replace a portion of the fresh fruit. Others, like flaxseed or maca powder, can elevate the nutritional status of your bowls dramatically. Using powders to their best advantage is an art in itself and something we will return to regularly.
We offer a premium range of add-ins to power up your bowls.
Organic fruit powders for vibrant colour and flavour
Protein powders and superfood toppings for functional nutrition
Vegan and artisan granolas for next-level crunch
Liquids (use sparingly)
Dairy milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut water, or even just water
Start with a splash. You can always add more—removing it is the hard part.
Step-by-Step: How to Make a Thick Smoothie Bowl
Here’s a reliable method your team can follow during a busy breakfast rush.
1) Prep your mise en place
- Pre-freeze fruit in standardised portions (e.g., 150–200 g per bowl).
- Keep thickeners and powders in labelled containers with portion scoops.
- Have toppings ready: granola, seeds, coconut, cacao nibs, sliced fruit, and nut butter etc.
Pro tip: It’s a balance between preparation and waste, but if you know what covers are likely to come in, then frozen fruit benefits from a 15-minute or so defrost before blending.
2) Add ingredients to the blender in the right order
- Bottom: Splash of liquid (30–60 ml to start).
- Middle: Frozen fruit and any powders.
- Top: Thickeners (yoghurt, avocado, nut butter).
This order helps blades catch and fold the ingredients without stalling.
3) Blend smart, not hard
- Start on low and pulse to break up large chunks.
- Increase to medium-high in short bursts.
- Stop and scrape down sides as needed.
If the blender stalls, add 1–2 tablespoons of liquid at a time. Patience pays off.
Pro tip: Use a tamper to push ingredients towards the blades for smoother blending without over-thinning.
4) Check texture and adjust
The goal is to achieve a soft-serve texture that forms peaks and can hold a spoon upright with ease.
If the texture is too runny, you can fix it by adding more frozen fruit or even a spoonful of oats or chia seeds. Simply pulse the mixture to combine everything evenly.
On the other hand, if it feels too stiff, try adding a small amount of liquid, just a drip at a time, and pulse until you reach the perfect consistency.
5) Serve immediately
Pour into a chilled bowl to keep the base thick longer and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon to create a canvas for toppings.
Toppings That Add Crunch, Colour, and Contrast
Balance is the secret: mix textures, flavours, and nutrition, but keep it simple. The key here is to complement your base with a few well-chosen toppings. Try using just one of each element and tread lightly.
Crunchy Elements
Granola
Granola adds a satisfying crunch and a touch of sweetness to your smoothie bowl, making it a versatile and delicious topping choice.
Nuts & Seeds
Nuts and seeds provide a crunch along with healthy fats, protein, and a dose of essential nutrients, making them a perfect addition to your smoothie bowl.
Cacao nibs
Add a bitter crunch that pairs beautifully with berry or banana bases. And of course, cacao.
Toasted Coconut
Toasted coconut offers a light, crispy texture and a subtly sweet, nutty flavour that complements a variety of smoothie bowl combinations.
Fresh Fruit and Colour
Try adding just a touch of the fresh version of whatever fruit is the feature of your base. A few chunks of fresh mango, for instance. Or play with contrast. A few ripe raspberries on top of a peach base, for example.
Creamy and Sweet Finishes
A drizzle of nut butter (keep it professional-looking with a squeeze bottle) or honey/maple syrup can tie it all together nicely.
Superfood Boosts
Adding superfood boosts to your smoothie bowls not only enhances their nutritional value but can also be a fantastic way to increase your profit margins.
Ingredients like chia seeds, matcha, or goji berries appeal to health-conscious customers who are often willing to pay a bit more for nutrient-rich options. These boosts add an extra layer of perceived value, making your smoothie bowls stand out in a competitive market.
Plus, their vibrant colours and unique textures can also make the bowls more visually appealing, contributing to that Instagram-worthy presentation everyone loves.
How to Troubleshoot Common Issues
Even seasoned teams hit the occasional snag. Here’s how to fix them fast.
Base too runny?
Add frozen banana or mango, or 1–2 tbsp oats.
Use a few ice cubes only if you’re out of frozen fruit (can dilute flavour).
Blender keeps stalling?
Check the order of ingredients and reduce the batch size.
Pulse and use the tamper; add liquid in teaspoons, not glugs.
Flavour is flat?
Add a squeeze of lime, a pinch of sea salt, or a date for sweetness.
Toppings sink?
The base is too thin. Reblend with more frozen fruit or a spoonful of chia.
Melts too quickly?
Chill bowls; keep fruit fully frozen; serve immediately.
Conclusion: Make Thick, Memorable Bowls Your Signature
A great smoothie bowl feels indulgent and nourishing at once. With the right ingredients, smart prep, and a few presentation tricks, your cafe can serve bowls that guests photograph, share, and return for. Start with a thick, creamy base, layer on crunchy, colourful toppings, and choose quality ingredients, like Opera Foods’ granolas, superfoods, and fruit powders, to deliver a bowl that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying.

From Acai Bowl to Smoothie Bowl. What’s The Difference?
Bowls are booming on menus across Australia. From the vibrant purples of acai bowls to the colourful medleys of smoothie bowls, these options are taking cafes by storm. They’re perfect for customers looking for a healthy, visually-appealing meal that tastes just as good as it looks. But while acai bowls and smoothie bowls may seem similar at first glance, there are some important differences. If you’re looking to spruce up your cafe’s offerings, understanding these differences could give you the edge in catering to your customers’ preferences.
Let’s break it all down—what makes these bowls unique, why your cafe should offer both, and how you can make them stand out.
What Is an Acai Bowl?
An acai bowl gets its name (and its rich purple hue) from its primary ingredient—acai berries. These berries, originating from the Amazon rainforest, are blended into a frozen puree that serves as the foundation of the dish.
Key Ingredients
The base of an acai bowl is typically made from acai puree, often blended with frozen bananas or berries to create a smooth, thick texture. It’s then topped with an array of fresh ingredients, such as granola, sliced fruits like bananas and strawberries, coconut flakes, and sometimes even a drizzle of nut butter.
Nutritional Benefits
Acai bowls are hugely popular among the health-conscious for good reason. Acai berries are loaded with antioxidants, which can help combat inflammation and support overall wellness. They’re also low in natural sugars compared to other fruits, making the dish a relatively guilt-free indulgence when prepared without added sweeteners.
Taste Profile
The flavour of an acai bowl is distinctive yet balanced—a bit tangy, a touch earthy, and undeniably refreshing. Acai is often described as a berry blend with a hint of dark chocolate, which explains why it pairs so well with fresh fruits and sweet toppings.
Learn how to create the perfectly balanced, crunchy acai bowl.
What Is a Smoothie Bowl?
Now, onto the smoothie bowl—a cousin of the acai bowl but with much broader versatility. Smoothie bowls are essentially an extra-thick version of a smoothie, served in a bowl and topped with crunchy, fruity, or creamy add-ons.
Key Ingredients
The base of a smoothie bowl typically consists of a blend of fruits (and sometimes vegetables), with liquid components like yoghurt, milk, or plant-based alternatives. Unlike acai bowls, the flavour combinations are endless. This is where you get to craft a range of simple yet stunning bowls. They usually, but not always, include some frozen elements to help with that all-important texture.
Nutritional Benefits
The beauty of smoothie bowls lies in their versatility. Want to add extra protein? Throw in some protein powder. After a high-fibre breakfast? Boost it with oats and chia seeds. Whatever the nutritional goal, smoothie bowls can be tailored to meet it, making them a hit with a variety of dietary preferences and needs.
Taste Profile
Smoothie bowls tend to be sweeter than acai bowls, reflecting the diversity of fruits and natural sweeteners they include. The taste depends entirely on the chosen ingredients, which means they can range from fruity and zesty to rich and creamy.
Key Differences Between Acai Bowls and Smoothie Bowls
Here are the key points that distinguish acai bowls from smoothie bowls.
Base Ingredient: Acai bowls are built around acai puree, whereas smoothie bowls use a variety of fruits (and sometimes veggies) as their base.
Nutritional Focus: Acai bowls are celebrated for their antioxidant-rich properties, while smoothie bowls offer broader nutritional versatility.
Taste and Texture: Acai bowls have a unique tart and earthy flavour, while smoothie bowls can be anything you want them to be.
Cultural Origins: Acai bowls have their roots in Brazilian cuisine, where acai is a dietary staple. Smoothie bowls, on the other hand, are a global health food trend.
Why Should Australian Cafes Offer Both?
For cafe owners in Australia, the real question is not which bowl to choose for the menu, but why not both? Offering both acai bowls and smoothie bowls could make your cafe a standout destination for health-focused customers and flavour seekers alike.
Catering to Diverse Preferences
Acai bowls tend to appeal to customers seeking a superfood-powered meal with antioxidant benefits, while smoothie bowls attract those looking for more variety and customisation. By offering both, you’re catering to two different types of diners without doubling your inventory.
Seasonal Appeal
While smoothie bowls are versatile enough to serve all year round, acai bowls have a refreshing, summery vibe that makes them particularly popular during warmer months. Highlighting these seasonal options on your menu can help you stay relevant as the weather changes.
Customisation Opportunities
One of the best things about both bowls is how customisable they are. Your cafe can easily offer extras such as protein powders, superfood boosts, or vegan alternatives. This not only attracts customers but also allows you to upsell for higher margins.
Tips for Cafes to Differentiate Their Bowls
Creating an acai or smoothie bowl isn’t just about throwing ingredients together—it’s about delivering an experience. Here are some tips to help your bowls stand out.
Presentation Matters
Customers are drawn to Instagram-worthy meals. Think vibrant colours, artful layouts, and playful garnishes. A beautifully presented bowl not only satisfies customers but also encourages them to share their experiences online—free advertising for your cafe!
Ingredient Sourcing
Consider your ingredients carefully. A few carefully chosen ingredients that go well together will stand out more than a mish-mash of flavours. They will also allow for far more versatility and variations.
Menu Descriptions
Use your menu to educate customers about the differences between the bowls. Highlight their unique benefits and origins, and offer pairings or popular options to guide undecided diners.
Offer Add-Ons
Superfood toppings like chia seeds, goji berries, or a dollop of almond butter can turn a standard bowl into a premium offering. Encourage customers to personalise their bowls with these add-ons. Remember, it is a fine line between showcasing your skill and allowing customisation. Consider ways to guide the customer in making flavourful choices.
Final Thoughts
Both acai bowls and smoothie bowls bring unique flavours, textures, and nutritional benefits to the table. Adding them to your cafe’s menu can diversify your offerings, attract more health-conscious diners, and give your brand a trendy, fresh appeal.

Boost your Brekkie: 8 Awesome Smoothie Bowl Toppings
What is a Smoothie Bowl?
Similar to an acai bowl, a smoothie bowl is a thicker, spoonable version of a regular smoothie. It is usually made with frozen fruits and vegetables, along with some liquid such as milk or juice. Served in a bowl, this thick, ice-cold base is the starting point for any number of toppings that not only boost the nutrient content but add contrasting tastes and textures.
Not only are they visually appealing and Insta-worthy, but smoothie bowls also offer a convenient way to maximise your nutritional intake at the start of the day. Or any time of day really.
So now that is out of the way, the next obvious question involves toppings for your smoothie bowls.
Our Favourite Toppings for Smoothie Bowls
Toppings add taste and texture to your smoothie bowl, as well as that all-important nutrient boost. You can pretty much put anything on there but here are a few of our favourites that are as nutritious as they are delicious.
Topping 1: Fruit Powder
Fruit powder is a game changer when it comes to smoothie bowl toppings. Made by simply dehydrating fruits and grinding them into a fine powder, it packs all the flavour of fresh fruit, but in a storage-friendly form. From tangy berries to tropical mango, fruit powder not only adds a vibrant color to your smoothie bowl, but also a concentrated punch of vitamins, antioxidants, and natural sweetness.
Try our range our fruit powders
Topping 2: Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are tiny nutrition bombs that make a great topping for your smoothie bowl. Despite their small size, they’re packed with dietary fibre, protein, and a load of essential minerals. Not only do they add a satisfying crunch to your bowl, but when soaked in liquid (like milk or yogurt), they form a gel-like consistency for an extra creamy texture. Try using both for an interesting contrast.
Our black chia seeds are organic
Topping 3: Black Sesame
Black sesame seeds are the grown-up sophisticated cousin of your standard white sesame seeds. They have a slightly different flavour profile, with a nutty and slightly bitter taste. They also contain a higher level of antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Plus, the colour is great and can be used to striking effect. Think two-tone, rather than a riot of colour.
These black sesame seeds will boost your bowl
Topping 4: Cacao Nibs
Cacao nibs are the perfect topping for those who want to indulge their chocolate cravings more healthily. Essentially they are pieces of cacao beans that have been roasted, separated from their husks, and broken into smaller bits. They taste like dark chocolate but with a raw, more intense flavour and a satisfyingly crunchy texture. Cacao nibs are loaded with fibre, protein, and beneficial compounds like flavonoids.
Try these organic cacao nibs for an antioxidant boost
Topping 5: Dried Fruit
Dried fruit offers yet another textural contrast, bringing an almost candy-like chew. With all the sharp sweetness of fruit, in a concentrated flavour, they are also a longer-lasting store-cupboard-friendly option. As much as we love raisins, we are thinking along the more interesting lines of sharp sour cherries or tangy blueberries.
Try these organic dried cherries
Topping 6: Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds aren’t about to win the pretty prize, but what they lack in insta-friendly colour they make up for in nutritional heft. They are a powerhouse of proteins and healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and they also serve as a rich source of dietary fibre and essential vitamins and minerals.
Our organic hemp seeds are hulled for better nutrient release
Topping 7: Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, bring a delightful crunch to your smoothie bowl. These tiny seeds are packed with protein, fibre, and a variety of essential minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. They have a subtly sweet and nutty flavour, which pairs well with virtually any combination of smoothie bowl ingredients. Beyond their taste and nutritional benefits, their vibrant green colour will brighten your bowl, for an aesthetically pleasing and incredibly healthy topping.
Try these special variety Styrian hull-less pumpkin seeds for an easier eat
Topping 8: Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is a fantastic addition to your arsenal of smoothie bowl toppings. This natural byproduct of the beekeeping process is nutrient-rich, and filled with proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It has a mildly sweet yet floral taste that compliments a variety of fruits and other toppings. Prized for its potential health benefits, bee pollen may help to boost immunity and reduce inflammation. But remember, a little goes a long way; just a sprinkle of these golden granules is enough to give your smoothie bowl a nutritional and flavorful boost.

Basic Healthy Smoothie Bowl Recipe
More of a template than an exact recipe, this will help you get to grips with the basics and also act as a blueprint for endless creations of your own.
- Choose Your Base: Start by selecting your base ingredients. This could be a selection of your favourite fruits, like bananas, frozen berries, or mangoes. You will need some kind of liquid to help it along, but not as much as a traditional smoothie.
- Blend: Add your base ingredients to a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth, even consistency. The mixture should be thicker than a traditional smoothie, allowing it to hold up your toppings.
- Pour and Spread: Pour your smoothie mixture into a bowl and spread it out evenly.

- Serve Immediately: Smoothie bowls need to be enjoyed right away. Grab a spoon and dive in!

How to make the perfect frosted berry acai smoothie bowl in a personal blender
We have all seen a perfectly frosted gelato style acai smoothie bowl, with its ice cream swirls and candy colours. But unless you have a really powerful blender the reality can be quite different. A dreadful crunching noise. The smell of burning motor. By the time you tentatively crush down all the frozen bits, allowing the liquid time to do its work, you have…yay…a smoothie. One that you could drink with a very thin straw.
It is entirely possible to summon up beautifully frozen treats with a personal blender, and we are going to show you how. All it takes is a little forward planning.
To make your frosted berry acai smoothie bowl you will need…
1 large banana worth of frozen banana chunks 4 average size coconut milk ice cubes, made from thick tinned coconut milk 1 cup frozen berries, mostly large ones like strawberries 1 tbsp acai powder 1 tbsp whey concentrate protein powder 1 tsp vanilla To garnish - Frozen berries Coconut flakes Granola Date syrup
How much time will I need?
Depending on the heat in your kitchen, you will need about 20 to 30 minutes waiting time to semi defrost your fruit and coconut ice cubes. Once that is done, it takes a few minutes to blend your acai smoothie bowl.
Step by step recipe for frosted berry acai smoothie bowl
Step 1 – semi-defrost
The crucial stage of getting a good texture in your smoothie bowl base is the partial defrosting of the ingredients. Leave the ingredients out to defrost slightly for about 20 to 30 minutes. If your kitchen is hot, they may need less time. You are looking to just take the edge off the hardness so that your personal blender can cope.
If you put the bowl into the freezer it will keep your frosted smoothie colder for longer.
1 large banana, frozen
4 coconut milk ice cubes
frozen berries
Step 2 – begin blitzing the ingredients
The coconut ice cubes are blended down first as they are harder than all the other ingredients. The whey concentrate and the acai powder add not only nutrients but help with the texture too.
Add the powders and blitz to a fine snow.
Step 3 – add the semi-frozen fruits
Add the semi-frozen fruits to the blender and pulse until the smooth. The combination of the ice and the powders, plus the softened fruits, helps the blender to cope without the ingredients melting down. Notice that we are not adding any liquid at all.
Step 4 – garnish
Add a little granola for crunch
some creamy coconut flakes
beautiful frozen berries
A drizzle of date syrup for extra sweetness.
Eat and enjoy. We hope you have fun experimenting with flavours and textures. Don’t forget to visit our bulk buy store for all your acai bowl ingredients.

Nutrition Pills! Why eat all those capsule cases?
There seems to be a new fad in eating nutrients in the form of nutrition pill capsules. I am not just talking about supplements that are made up multiple concoctions and mixes with interesting health claims. I am talking about simple ingredient products like fruit or vegetable powders. The internet has multiple actors pushing them. Probably as commission agents.
Their pitch asks us to blindly assume that the convenience of a pill is the only thing. Whereas these days you can buy powdered fruit and vegetable products in separate re-sealable packs and have them conveniently stored in your pantry. They are cheaper than the pills (less processing and packaging). You can see what you are eating. You still enjoy the convenience of not carrying and chopping raw vegetables. Yet you also have the added convenience of being able to sprinkle them on to any meal or to make your own, better tasting, smoothie variations, in just seconds.
Why ingest organic wholefoods for nutritional purposes in an artificial pill capsule?
Pill capsules were originally designed for ingesting nasty tasting chemical medicants that are hard to swallow, because they are objectionable to your taste buds. The ingredients for a pill capsule case itself is not something you would choose for nutritional purposes.
You may get to eat many pill capsule cases as you age and need to take medicants. So, don’t choose to eat those, when you can simply eat the natural fruit and vegetable powders on their own with no inconvenience or downside.
According to wikipedia.org, pill capsule cases are “made from aqueous solutions of gelling agents, such as animal protein (mainly gelatin) or plant polysaccharides or their derivatives (such as carrageenans and modified forms of starch and cellulose). Other ingredients can be added to the gelling agent solution including plasticizers such as glycerin or sorbitol to decrease the capsule’s hardness, coloring agents, preservatives, disintegrants, lubricants and surface treatment.”
Are Nutrition Pills Really Healthy?
The contents of the pill capsule cases might be healthy? Depending upon what is actually in them. However, the ingredients for the capsule casing itself is not something you would choose for nutritional purposes.
Many people looking to boost their nutrient intake are also focused on plant nutrition. Even if they are not Vegans vegetarians would not deliberately choose a product that is encased in an animal protein product. The other ingredients of these capsule cases are not typical high nutritional value foods. Another good question might be, what kind of ingredients are added to the contents of the pill to give it the viscosity required to make the product flow, so it can be easily packed by machines into the tiny capsules.
Know What You are Eating
Seeing what you are eating is another important issue with nutrition. The science of Powdered Fruit and vegetables has moved on to a process of slow drying of a puree. This naturally preserves the colours and nutrients of fruits and vegetables better. Some of the manufacturers are now using this method which produces much higher nutrient value in powdered products. Visual inspection will show users the consistency in granule size and colour that helps to show the quality of the product.
Why are you eating Nutritional Supplements in the first place?
People eat nutritional supplements for several reasons including to combat health problems, to guard against potential health problems, for body building and weight control, and some just to improve energy levels. Whatever your reason, continual consumption of pill capsule casings is probably not your intended goal.
Environmental hazards, artificial ingredients and pesticide levels are being blamed for the development of free radicals in your system that can cause serious health conditions as well as a slowdown of your general feeling of well-being. The modern approach to this problem is to change your diet to exclude the products most likely to be detrimental to your health and suppress your immune system. Also, at the same time to increase your intake of those products that are a benefit to your health.
More importantly to specifically boost your intake of those foods that are higher in the antioxidants that can boost your own immune system. This basic plan will assist with either recovery from health issues, avoiding health issues and just improving stamina and natural weight control. Fruit and vegetables are a large part of a healthy diet and it is a big chore to purchase, tote and prepare them in a busy world.
So powdered fruit and vegetables are becoming an important way to assist with nutrition. However, we suggest you instead buy the zip close packs and get the added convenience of being able to sprinkle them on to meals.
Boost Nutrients offers a range of Fruit Powders, Vegetable Powders and also seeds and other natural wholefood ingredients that are healthy high nutrient products. Our range is perfect to improve your nutrition and boost your immune health. They are idea for adding to; Smoothie drinks, Smoothie Bowls, Acai Bowls, Acai Porridge, Granola Bowls, Salads and many other meals.
