Tips for making a great smoothie bowl
Smoothie bowls are definitely one of the easiest and low-effort treats you can prepare in your kitchen. However, there are still some tricks you can use to make the absolute best bowl ever! Here are some of the most useful tips to keep in mind while making your favorite smoothie bowl recipe:
- Add in extra ice, milk, or fruit- If your smoothie is too thin or thick, try adding in some ice or an extra dash of milk! These extra additions will really change up the texture, so you can enjoy your smoothie however you want.
- Keep the blender on low- Mixing your smoothie on a low blender setting is key! This step is what really helps to create that creamy and smooth consistency most smoothies have.
- Use flavored honey sticks- These recipes use regular honey to sweeten up the smoothie. While delicious as is, you could choose to incorporate your favorite flavored honey sticks instead for an extra boost of flavor!
