3. Dry ingredients add some oomph.

Don’t just use fruit in your base. Rolled oats, chia seeds, and nut butters add flavor and thickness, which keeps toppings from sinking to the bottom of your bowl. Plus the they’re packed with fiber and protein, which keep you full until lunchtime, Russell says. Also consider powders, like matcha, spirulina, turmeric, maca, or maqui, or vegetables like kale, which add concentrated flavor and an extra boost of nutrients. Either blend powders into your smoothie or use them to create stunning designs on top of your bowl (or both!).
