When is the best time to have a smoothie bowl? Anytime!nd!
Are they just a smoothie in a bowl Yes. The main difference: the amount of liquid you use. You create smoothie bowls by adding ¼ to ½ cup of liquid instead of 1 to 1½ cups. Another difference is all the wonderful, multi-flavored toppings you can add once you transfer it to a bowl, like crunchy granola and fresh fruit..
Have you ever tried to make a vegan smoothie bowl but it wasn't quite what you expected Here you will find the 3 recipes for the best vegan smoothie bowls ever! (without pretention ) 😉)
Some things :
Use frozen fruit
Using frozen fruit will thicken your smoothie so you can eat it with a spoon.
Keep liquids to a minimum
Start with 2 tbsp and gradually add more if you feel the fruit is not mixing.
Always better to use a high-speed blender
Why? Because it is quite powerful and will help you blend all the ingredients in no time without the fruit melting and you having to add too much liquid. Don't forget to scrape the sides once or twice.
You'll burn out your blender motor if it's not powerful enough, if you don't add enough liquid. Trust me, I've burned one in the past!
Add protein powder
A plant protein powder will not only add protein to sustain you for a while, but will also make the consistency rich and creamy.
Use toppings with different textures
Creativity has no limits here. We love crunchy granola, chewy chunks of dried fruit and a few chunks of fresh fruit, cocoa nibs, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, chia seeds, rich and creamy nut butters. The options are endless.
Speaking of options, whether you're in the mood to go simple with just a few toppings or ready to create something more elaborate, there's a smoothie bowl recipe for you!
