FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Fresh fruit can be used, but frozen fruit helps create the thick, spoonable texture typical of smoothie bowls. If using fresh fruit, add ice or freeze the fruit beforehand for best results.
What toppings work best on smoothie bowls?
Toppings like sliced fresh fruit, chia seeds, granola, nuts, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey add texture and flavor. Choose toppings based on your taste and dietary preferences.
