Notes

  • Freeze ripe banana slices completely for the thickest consistency.
  • Begin with only ¼ cup milk.
  • Different protein powders absorb different amounts of liquid.
  • Add extra milk one tablespoon at a time.
  • Use Greek yogurt rather than thin regular yogurt for a thicker bowl.
  • Don't overblend, as friction can begin warming the mixture.
  • Add toppings immediately before serving.
  • Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh.
