Smoothie Bowl Tips
Smoothie bowls are a snap to make, but here are some tips to keep in mind.
- Pay attention to your measurements! It’s easy to add a dash of this and a bit of that, before you know it you could have a huge, calorie-laden bowl that might do more harm than good. By measuring your first few smoothie bowls you can rest easy knowing that your bowl is keeping you on track.
- Everyone has a different preference for texture. Try using less or more milk to get the right consistency. You might also like your smoothie bowl a little chunkier so you can taste the individual fruits.
- To make your smoothie bowl thicker, try using chia seeds, oatmeal, cooked quinoa or even avocado.
- Get creative! Once you try a few recipes, feel free to try your own blends that incorporate your favorite plant-based foods for a delicious and nutritious bowl.
Enjoy!!
