FAQs
Can I use fresh fruits instead of frozen?
Yes, but the texture will vary. Frozen fruits make the smoothie thicker and colder, which is great for a smoothie bowl.
Is this smoothie bowl healthy?
Absolutely! It has a good balance of fruits, healthy fats, and protein from the Greek yogurt.
Can I make this smoothie bowl ahead of time?
While it’s best fresh, you can prepare the fruit ahead of time and freeze it. Make the smoothie bowl just before you’re ready to serve it for the best flavor.
