Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes

You can easily change the recipe if you want.

Plenty of ways to customize it to suit your ingredients or taste preferences.

Feel free to experiment on your own, or you could try some of my recommendations below:

  1. Add Another Fruit: Add 1 ripe banana, for a sweeter and creamier smoothie bowl.
  2. Swap The Fruit Juice: Cut down the sugar content by replacing the pineapple juice
  3. Add a Citrus Element: I know this may sound strange, but I added 1/2 orange once, and I loved the citrus taste! Try it and let me know what you think!
  4. Add More Protein: If you are not vegan, add 1/2 cup of yogurt, but reduce the coconut milk to 1/4 cup. You can also use protein powder to increase the protein.
  5. Boost With Superfoods: You can add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or anything else you like or fancy.

How to Make The Perfect Pina Colada Smoothie Bowl

  1. Use Frozen Fruit: Planning ahead and freezing your fruit ahead of time is crucial. Alternatively, you can pre-buy frozen fruit. I always have frozen fruit ready to go in the freezer.
  2. Use a High-Speed Blender: To make this smoothie bowl, you will need a high-speed blender. Or, you could make this smoothie bowl using a food processor.
  3. Chill The Serving Bowl: I like to freeze my serving bowl for 5-10 minutes while I am preparing the smoothie. It helps keep the smoothie cooler for longer once it’s served.
  4. Enhance With Toppings: Add toppings that complement the smoothie bowl. I love adding seeds, nuts, even granola, etc.
  5. Eat ASAP: As soon as the smoothie bowl is served, eat it immediately, as it will start to thaw. It’s like ice cream!
