Last week, I had the crazy delicious idea to put candy eggs on top of a smoothie bowl for Easter.
I was SURE that someone had done this before, so I took to Pinterest to find a recipe. But I searched, and searched, and there was nothing!
Not a single candy egg smoothie bowl recipe that I could find.
Have I somehow out-#basic-ed Pinterest? Lol.
I guess you can be the judge of that -- with my Candy Egg Smoothie Bowl recipe, below.
I hope you like my super simple candy egg smoothie bowl recipe!

Candy Egg Smoothie Bowl Recipe
This smoothie bowl takes <5 minutes to make!
You just measure out a few smoothie ingredients, throw them in the blender, and add a few toppings. That's it!
For the base, I used Greek yogurt, frozen fruit, vanilla almond milk, and extra vanilla extract.
And the toppings are fresh raspberries, cacao nibs, and -- of course -- the candy eggs.
It's easier if your cat helps! 😜
See below for the detailed recipe, including the exact steps and measurements I used.
Below that are a few extra variations to try.
I hope you like it! ❤️
Candy Egg Smoothie Bowl Recipe
INGREDIENTS
For the smoothie (serves 2):
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- ~3 frozen cherries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (I used Fage Total; for a sweeter bowl, use plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt instead)
- 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk (I used Califa Farms)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
For the toppings (per bowl):
- 1 handful fresh raspberries
- ~1 tbsp cacao nibs (I used Navitas - which are way cheaper online, FYI!)
- 1 handful speckled candy eggs (I used Whopper Robin's Eggs)
Tools:
- Vitamix, or other super strong blender (best for the frozen fruit)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add frozen strawberries, frozen cherries, yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract to blender (in that order)
- Blend at Level 5 (about half power) for 20-30 seconds, until smooth
- Pour into bowl
- Gently add toppings (so they stay on the top) -- including raspberries, cacao nibs, candy eggs, and any other desired toppings
- Enjoy!
Candy Egg Smoothie Bowl - Variations
If you want to make a few tweaks to my smoothie recipe above, here are some ideas:
- For a sweeter smoothie, sub either plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt for the Greek yogurt I used
- For an even simpler recipe, just use a flavored yogurt as the base for these toppings (instead of the smoothie)
- Go crazy with fun toppings! Fruit, granola, coconut flakes, and a bunch of other toppings would be great on this smoothie base.
If you make this with any other fun variations, let me know!
