FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Yes, but frozen strawberries help give the bowl its thick, creamy texture. You can add ice cubes if using fresh fruit.
What type of yogurt works best?
Greek yogurt gives a rich, creamy consistency, but any yogurt — dairy or non-dairy — will work.
How do I make the smoothie bowl thicker?
Use less liquid and frozen fruit for a thicker texture that holds toppings well.
Can I make it ahead of time?
You can blend it the night before and store it in the fridge, but the texture is best when freshly made.
Is it okay to use other fruits?
Absolutely! This recipe works great with mango, pineapple, or mixed berries.
How can I add more protein?
Add a scoop of protein powder, chia seeds, or nut butter before blending.
Can I make this without banana?
Yes — replace it with more strawberries, mango, or a few ice cubes for thickness.
What toppings go best?
Granola, nuts, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and fresh fruit are all delicious and add great texture.
Can I use water instead of milk?
Yes, though milk adds a creamier texture and richer flavor.
Is this smoothie bowl vegan-friendly?
It can be! Just use plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk.
