FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit is recommended because it creates a thicker, colder smoothie bowl without needing ice. If using fresh fruit, add some ice cubes or freeze the fruit beforehand for a similar texture.
What toppings work best for smoothie bowls?
Popular choices include granola, sliced fresh fruit, chia seeds, coconut flakes, nuts, and a drizzle of honey or nut butter to add texture and extra flavor.
