FAQs
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Using fresh strawberries will work, but your smoothie bowl might not be as thick or cold. Add a few ice cubes or freeze the banana slices to maintain the creamy texture.
Can I prepare this smoothie bowl in advance?
While the smoothie base can be blended ahead of time and refrigerated overnight, it’s best to add toppings just before serving to preserve their texture and flavor.
