Tips
- Frozen Fruit is Key: Use a frozen banana to create that ultra-creamy, thick smoothie bowl texture. If your banana isn't frozen, add a few ice cubes to achieve the right consistency.
- Blending Technique: Blend on high speed and be patient. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure a completely smooth mixture.
- Customize Your Toppings: While granola is delicious, don't be afraid to get creative! Try coconut flakes, sliced almonds, or even a drizzle of maple syrup for extra excitement.
- Ripeness Matters: Choose very ripe peaches for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Meal Prep Hack: You can prepare the smoothie base in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just add fresh toppings before serving.
- Texture Troubleshooting: If your smoothie is too thick, add almond milk gradually. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit or a handful of rolled oats.Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature – this smoothie bowl is all about that fresh, cool, creamy experience!
