Tips for Making the Perfect Smoothie Bowl

To make the perfect smoothie bowl, make sure to follow these recommendations!

Be sure to use a frozen berries and a frozen banana, to achieve a thick consistency.
Start off by only adding 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk and only add more if needed.
Use a high-speed blender, with a tamper, to ensure that your smoothie bowl achieves a thick and creamy texture.
Place your serving bowl in the freezer before you begin preparing this recipe and remove it when smoothie is ready. This will ensure that your smoothie bowl stays cold as you enjoy it.

Fresh versus Frozen Fruit

The key to making smoothie bowls extra creamy is adding frozen fruit. Through adding in frozen fruits to your smoothies, you will achieve a thicker result, so that you can add toppings, without them sinking. Also, don’t add too much liquid, because it is a smoothie bowl after all. I usually start with a little non-dairy milk and add more, if needed, until I reach the desired thickness.

Yes! To increase the protein content of this smoothie bowl, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder. I recommend using a vanilla flavor for this smoothie bowl recipe.
