Notes
Smoothie Bowl Tips
Frozen fruit: To get that soft-serve ice cream consistency, most of the fruit needs to be frozen. The only fruit I didn’t freeze were the orange slices. To freeze, spread fruit chunks in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Flash freeze for 2 hours, then transfer to resealable freezer bags. Use within 2 months.
To blend: Start on low speed with frozen ingredients, otherwise your vessel will freeze. Seriously. Pun intended.😉
Use little liquid: The better the high-speed blender you have, the less liquid you’ll need. Add a couple tablespoons at a time if needed.
Freeze the liquid: You can also freeze whatever liquid you’d like to add in ice cube trays then drop in the blender.
Add raw oats or protein powder if the smoothie seems thin.
