Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes
If you haven’t got some of the ingredients, or want to swap some of them, or even add extra ingredients, check out my suggestions below:
- Swap The Strawberries: You can completely remove them as an ingredient without substituting or using another type of fruit of choice.
- Add Something EXTRA: If you are feeling extra, you can add matcha powder, cacao, and other superfoods you have and love.
- Add More Protein: If you are not vegan, add 1/2 cup of yogurt, but reduce the almond milk to 1/4 cup. You can also use protein powder to increase the protein.
- Make It Richer: Dollop a tablespoon of nut butter. Almond butter works wonderfully!
My Tips For Making The Perfect Smoothie Bowl
- Use Frozen Fruit: If you don’t have frozen fruit, this recipe won’t work. Make sure you stock up on some frozen fruit before you make this smoothie bowl!
- Use a High-Speed Blender: To make this smoothie bowl, you will need a high-speed blender. I love using a blender with a pushdown stick.
- Chill The Serving Bowl: Place the serving bowl in the fridge or freezer whilst you are preparing the smoothie. It helps your smoothie stay cooler for longer.
- Add Toppings: Add toppings that complement the smoothie bowl. I love adding seeds, nuts, even granola, etc.
- Eat ASAP: As soon as the smoothie bowl is served, eat it immediately, as it will start to thaw.

If you like your smoothie bowls super thick, you will need to use a high-speed blender.
Otherwise, lower-speed blenders will work, but you may need to add more liquid resulting in a thinner smoothie bowl.
