Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen fruit to achieve a thick, creamy texture without adding ice.
  • If you want it sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup before blending.
  • For a dairy-free protein boost, try a plant-based protein powder instead of vanilla whey.
  • Swap pineapple for frozen berries if you prefer a different flavor profile.

Storage

This smoothie bowl is best enjoyed fresh to preserve its texture and flavor. If necessary, you can cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 24 hours, but the texture may become thinner. To re-enjoy, stir well and add a little more coconut milk before eating.
