The best smoothie bowls in Coral Gables
Coral Gables and Miracle Mile have a great selection of smoothie bowls — but the term "smoothie bowl" can mean different things at different spots. Some blend açaí as the base, others use pitaya or greens, and a few use frozen fruit blends. This guide breaks down the best options, what makes each one different, and where Banana Berry at 305 Alcazar Ave #1 fits in.
What is a smoothie bowl?
A smoothie bowl is a thick blended fruit base served in a bowl and topped with fresh fruit, granola, coconut, seeds and other toppings. It sits somewhere between a smoothie (drinkable) and a bowl of ice cream — thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Common smoothie bowl bases include:
- Açaí — earthy, antioxidant-rich purple berry
- Pitaya (dragon fruit) — sweeter, bright pink, high in vitamin C
- Green — blended spinach, kale or greens with fruit
- Frozen fruit blends — banana and mixed berries as the base
