How to Store
- Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh.

- Do not add toppings until ready to eat.
- Stir before serving, as texture may thicken slightly.
What Not to Do
- Do not blend too long—over-blending warms the bowl and thins the texture.
- Avoid adding too much liquid at once; start with less and adjust.
- Do not add toppings before blending—they should go on after to stay crisp.
Tips & Variations
- For extra thickness, use all frozen fruit and minimal milk.
- Swap banana with frozen mango for a tropical twist.
- Add nut butter or seeds for healthy fats and more protein.
- Use dairy-free yogurt to make it vegan-friendly.
