How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?

Yes, but using frozen banana helps achieve a thicker, creamier texture for the smoothie bowl. Fresh banana will make it thinner unless you add more ice.

Can I prepare the smoothie bowl in advance?

You can blend the base in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours, but for the best texture and taste, add toppings just before serving.
