Smoothie Bowl Variations And Recipe Notes
If you need to swap some ingredients, or simply want to change the recipe slightly, here are your options:
- Swap The Strawberries: If you are swapping the strawberries, preferably use another red berry, such as raspberries.
- Add Something EXTRA: If you are feeling extra, you can add goji berry powder, protein powders, chia seeds, etc.
- Make It Richer: Dollop a tablespoon of nut butter. Cashew 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.
