Apologies…And I’ll Be Back Soon!!

June 19, 2011 by Meaghan Mountford

Dear Edible Crafts Readers,

So sorry for my delay in posting! I’ve been very, very ill this week and in the hospital, but I’m finally home and on the mend. I will be posting again soon, hopefully by tomorrow.

I have many submissions from the past week to sift through, but I’ll do my best to go through them all in the next few days, health dependent.

Thank you all for your patience!

meaghan

How to Make Thick Yoghurt Smoothie Bowls in the Ninja Slushie Maker

A quick, creamy breakfast with fresh fruit added on top

Smoothie bowls are one of those beautiful breakfasts that feel healthy and a little indulgent at the same time. Thick, cold, creamy, and pretty enough that you almost don’t want to eat them… almost.

The Ninja Slushie Maker takes all the effort out of it.
Instead of dealing with frozen fruit bricks or blenders that complain loudly, you simply mix your yoghurt base, chill it, and let the Ninja turn it into the perfect thick smoothie-bowl texture — no ice required.

If you are like me and come addicted to these smoothie bowls then you will want to invest in these double walled bowls, this is my favorite brand and these have been great. 

Then you top it with your fresh fruit afterwards so the bowl stays thick, cold, and spoon-worthy.

It’s easy, quick, and a lovely way to start the day.

Why Yoghurt Works So Well in the Ninja Slushie Maker

Yoghurt freezes into a silky, firm slush — similar to soft-serve but healthier and lighter. Because the machine creates the icy texture itself (instead of relying on ice cubes), the mixture never becomes watery or gritty.

Just smooth, cold, creamy perfection you can decorate to your heart’s content.

The Basic Yoghurt Slush Base

Once you learn this base recipe, you can create endless flavour combinations.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain or Greek yoghurt, chilled 
  • ½–1 cup milk of your choice (just enough to loosen the mixture) 
  • 1–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) 

Method

  1. Stir all ingredients together until smooth. 
  2. Chill the mixture in the fridge until very cold. 
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into the Ninja Slushie Maker. 
  4. Blend on the slush setting until thick, creamy, and icy. 
  5. Spoon into a bowl and add your fruit and toppings. 

This base has enough body to hold granola, berries, and nut butter without sinking.

Topping Ideas (Add These After Blending)

Fresh Fruit

  • Strawberries 
  • Blueberries 
  • Banana slices 
  • Mango 
  • Kiwi 
  • Peaches 

Crunchy Toppers

  • Granola 
  • Toasted coconut 
  • Chopped nuts 
  • Cacao nibs 

Extras

  • Honey drizzle 
  • Peanut butter 
  • Chia seeds 
  • Freeze-dried fruit crumbs 

Easy Flavour Variations

Berries & Cream Smoothie Bowl

Use vanilla yoghurt as your base. Top with raspberries, strawberries, and a sprinkle of granola.

Tropical Coconut Bowl

Add a splash of coconut milk to the base. Top with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and toasted coconut flakes.

Chocolate Yoghurt Bowl

Mix 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder into the base. Top with banana slices and a peanut-butter drizzle.

Meal-Prep Tip

Prepare the yoghurt base the night before and store it in small jars.
In the morning, just pour one jar directly into the Ninja Slushie Maker and you’ve got a thick, cold, ready-to-top breakfast in minutes.
