Smoothie Bowl Price Guide
This is a general overview of the costs for each item, but please note it’s not comprehensive as I’m missing some receipts. I’ll update this post if they become available. Prices can vary by store, region, and even country, so keep in mind that the listed prices might not reflect current local rates. The prices listed are per item, not the total cost.
For example, the Carlo’s Granola, which I purchased on clearance, was $6.05 per bag. I bought six bags, as it’s challenging to find tasty, budget-friendly grain-free, gluten-free granola. At $6.05 per bag, the cost comes to $1.17 per day when spread over the 31 days of July.
Items bought on clearance at Kroger are noted as such. Typically, their clearance prices are about half of the regular retail price. TJ’s is Trader Joes.
If you have a chest freezer, look for items on sale or clearance and stock up. Better yet is if you garden to freeze your own items. I buy fresh items a lot as they will expire faster than any other items. You can find greens on sale. I watch the flow of the grocery stores I tend to go to – see when they restock as that is when they’ll mark down items getting ready to expire. If you go through those items fast enough, it may be worth your time to try this as well. I restocked one of the collagen powders today and while the store currently has a very limited time sale of 40% off, this particular collagen powder expires in the middle of next month. I asked the store manager if he would mark it down further as the servings go past the expiration date. He was able to do so and I am happy I asked.
Note: For my July Smoothie Bowl Challenge, the 3-tier cart as a smoothie bowl station worked wonderfully. Now, I have dedicated a cupboard to my smoothie bowl supplies that also houses additions to my salads, and I have my juicing jars back. The cart is currently a staging area for an organization project.
