Pricing Your Smoothie Bowl Recipes

Setting the right price for your smoothie bowls and getting your smoothie bowl recipes right is crucial for profitability and customer satisfaction. Several factors come into play, and understanding these will help you determine a competitive and fair price point for your business.

Ingredients Costs

The cost of smoothie bowls is primarily determined by base ingredients like frozen fruit and juice (pre-portioned sachets offering consistent per-serving costs and reduces waste). Toppings significantly influence overall expense, as premium or exotic options and protein add-ons typically warrant additional charges.

Overhead Costs

Operational costs for smoothie bowls encompass business premises expenses like rent and utilities, labour involved in preparation and topping, ongoing equipment maintenance for items such as blenders and refrigeration, and the cost of packaging including the bowl, lid, spoon, and supplementary items.

Location, location, location

Smoothie bowl pricing varies significantly based on location and establishment type; urban centers like London can command higher prices (£8-£10) due to increased overheads and demand compared to smaller towns (£6-£8), and trendy cafes or health food bars can typically charge more than traditional eateries.

Recommended Retail Price (RRP) in the UK:

Based on current market trends and considering the factors above, a general RRP for a smoothie bowl in the UK could range from £7.95 to £9.95.

  • Basic Bowl (2-3 standard toppings): £7.95 – £8.95
  • Signature Bowl (4-5 varied toppings, including a premium option): £8.95 – £9.95
  • Premium/Customisable Bowl (extensive topping choices, including superfoods/protein): £10+
