Ingredients list
- Frozen Blueberries – For this raw fruit bowl we decided to use frozen blueberries, but you can certainly use any type of berries that you like. Keep in mind that using frozen berries will make for a very refreshing dessert-bowl.
- Avocado – Avocado is one of the best ways to incorporate those healthy fats into your daily meals routine. But that’s not all that avocado has to offer … avocado also comes with potassium, a bit of magnesium and plenty of gut-friendly fiber. Make sure to use a perfectly ripen avocado and go organic if possible, since organic avocados are always delicious and have that perfect green color on the inside.
- Apple – Use a few apple slices to add texture and a sweet-ish taste to this delicious raw vegan bowl. What kind of apples do you enjoy most?
- Banana – Sweet, packed with potassium, magnesium and healthy fiber, banana is definitely the way to go for adding sweetness to a raw fruit bowl like this one.
- Pomegranate – I used the seeds from a fresh pomegranate but you can definitely use frozen pomegranate seeds just as well. In fact, using frozen pomegranate seeds will make this raw fruit bowl even more refreshing.
- Almond Butter – Nut butters come with plenty of healthy fats and protein, plus other beneficial nutrients like an assortment of vitamins and minerals. In case you don’t like almond butter (or you’re looking for a different flavor) you can successfully use cashew butter and even peanut butter instead. Due to health reasons, I advise you to choose organic peanut butter only.
- Cinnamon Powder – One of my favorite spices for all kinds of desserts and hot beverages, cinnamon gives a sensational flavor to most desserts where fresh fruits are used.
- Cardamom Powder – Another one of those miracle asian spices, cardamon goes hand in hand with both vanilla and cinnamon. For this dessert we haven’t used vanilla, but you can definitely add it as an extra or use it instead of cardamom.
This vegan raw bowl can be upgraded!
This simple raw fruit bowl is delicious by its own but, in case you want to mix-up the flavors a bit, you can definitely customIze it with different extras or substitutions. Check-out some of my ideas below:
- Seasonal Fruits – How about adding fruits that are in season where you live? For instance, you could use peach, nectarines, strawberries and even grapes will work great with this vegan fruit bowl.
- Tropical Flavors – You can definitely include any of the following tropical fruits in your raw fruit bowl: mango, papaya, pineapple are awesome choices! Why not include a few pieces of Galia melon or Cantaloupe melon as well?!
- Raw Nuts – For texture and more healthy fats, as well as plenty of protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber, you can definitely add a few raw nuts. Walnuts, pecans or cashew nuts, or even a handful of pine nuts could be added to this raw fruit bowl.
- Other Nut Butters – You can definitely replace almond butter with cashew butter or peanut butter. And in case you feel adventurous, you can even use hazelnut butter which has the strongest flavor of all. One note: should you decide to go with peanut butter, make sure to use organic peanut butter since that is the healthiest version of peanut butter.
- Dark Chocolate – 1 or 2 squares of dark chocolate won’t hurt anyone, right?! If you ask me, I will be using 85% dark chocolate or more.
- Medjool Dates – Drop 1-2 medjool dates into this fruit bowl for extra sweetness, as well as for more nutrients like potassium and magnesium (great for recovery after a long walk or run in the forest).
- Vanilla Powder – Along with cinnamon and cardamom, vanilla is one of my top absolute favorite spices to use in desserts, smoothies or hot beverages. You can use it instead of either cinnamon or cardamom, or as an extra.
- Pinch of Salt – Optionally you can also mix a pinch of salt, and this works great in case you feel the need to balance those healthy fats.

This raw fruit bowl was delicious and super fruity, with a nice combination of fresh fruits and creamy nut butter. I can’t say that I need anything else to eat for a few hours … niiiice!
My wife suggested that we try to eat more fruits and I found this recipe randomly on google. She was super excited when I made it and loved it!
I eat daily raw fruit bowls like this one and I can confirm that it tastes amazing! Love the addition of healthy organic nut butters that give it that extra creamy texture.
In case you don’t like almond butter, you can safe.y use something like cashew butter and even coconut butter or pistachio butter.
