The key to making the best smoothie bowl is to use a tamper. It allows you to push ingredients around without touching the blades.
When freezing bananas, always cut them into coins first. This will make it easier for your blender to break down.
For the best flavor, choose ripe bananas. You can tell a banana is ripe if it has a yellow peel with some brown spots.
To keep it healthy, use a cocoa powder with little to no sweeteners.
Instead of oat milk, you can also use any milk you like, including dairy and other plant-based milk like almond or soy.
If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
Since smoothie bowls are mostly made of frozen fruit, it's essential to use a tamper when blending the ingredients. A tamper will push the frozen fruit toward the blades, which will promote efficient blending.
Smoothie bowls taste best freshly made. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in airtight container, but it will become thinner over time. Enjoy it within 1-2 days.
