Tips & Notes
- Any plant-based milk works here — oat milk (GF) gives the richest mouthfeel; almond milk keeps it lighter.
- The riper (more spotted) the bananas, the sweeter and more intensely flavored your result will be.
- Toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, for a deeper, nuttier topping.
- For a softer bowl, blend with 1 cup almond milk instead of 1/2 cup. It melts faster, so serve it right away.
Common questions
What makes a smoothie bowl thicker than a smoothie?
Less liquid and more frozen fruit. About 1/2 cup almond milk to 3 cups frozen berries and banana gives a soft-serve texture that holds toppings.
Can I use a berry blend with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries?
Yes. Any frozen mixed berries work at the same amount; raspberries add a few more seeds and a tarter flavor.
Which granola can I use on a smoothie bowl?
Only granola labeled gluten-free. Many granolas use ordinary oats, which are commonly cross-contaminated with wheat.
