Tips for the Perfect Smoothie Bowl
Use Frozen Fruit: The key to a thick, ice-cream-like texture is starting with fully frozen fruit.
Add Liquid Sparingly: Start with a small splash of liquid—just enough to get the blender moving. You can always add more if needed.
Adjust Sweetness: If your fruit isn’t sweet enough, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup works perfectly.
Substitutions
Protein Powder: Skip it altogether or opt for a plant-based variety to suit your preferences.
Fruit Swaps: Swap in your favorite fruits like pineapple, peaches, or raspberries for a new twist.
Toppings: Don’t like chocolate granola? Try shredded coconut, chopped nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon instead.
