- The secret to making the best smoothie bowl is to use a tamper. It allows you to push ingredients around without touching the blades. This is key for breaking down the frozen fruit.
- Oat milk tastes best great in this smoothie bowl, but you can also use other milks like almond milk, soy milk, or cow's milk.
- Always use ripe avocados. You can tell an avocado ripe if it yields to gentle pressure.
- For the best flavor, use ripe bananas. Look for one with a yellow skin and some brown spots.
- Before freezing a banana, slice it first. Never put a whole frozen banana in your blender, as this can damage the blades.
- Add a bit of milk and blend for 10 seconds if the smoothie bowl is too thick.
- If possible, enjoy your smoothie bowl right after making it. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days, but it will lose thickness over time. It will also turn slightly brown because of the avocado.
