Tips

When choosing fruits and berries for a green smoothie bowl like this, you want the ripest ones. Because when they reach the right level of ripeness, they have the perfect consistency and the most potent and delicious flavours. If you use frozen fruit, you can freeze the fresh fruit yourself just when the fruit reaches that perfect ripeness. As a little bonus, using frozen fruits saves you from having to use ice cubes and potentially water down the overall taste.

Tips

Everyone knows just what taste and texture tickles their fancy, and that is why you should feel free to adjust the basic ingredients as you go. If you want a creamier version, simply add a bit extra skyr, or, maybe, a bit more avocado or banana. Just make sure to counterbalance the other ingredients every time you adjust something.

Questions about green smoothie bowls

While green smoothie bowls are extremely simple and easy to make, we still want to make sure that you face no problems when making one. So, keep reading below our frequently asked questions about this easy treat!

What is in a green smoothie bowl?
Our green smoothie bowl has skyr, banana, spinach, and avocado in it to build a flavourful, creamy smoothie with fresh and sweet flavours and beautiful colours. Spinach and avocado not only bring the green colour, but they also add a delightful flavour and texture. To give it a zing of freshness and a kick of mild, pleasant heat, we also add a dose of lemon juice and some fresh ginger. While it does taste extremely good by itself, we highly recommend that you make sure to add some toppings as well to get the full taste and texture experience.
What toppings to use for a green smoothie bowl?
Crunchy granola, chewy coconut flakes, and sweet berries and fruits are all perfectly tasty toppings to sprinkle on your green smoothie breakfast bowl. No matter what you choose, the most important thing is that the toppings add some different textures, for example, juicy, soft, chewy, and crunchy. We opted for various sweet, juicy berries and sweet fruit to complement the crunchy and chewy toppings, so get out your favourite fruits and berries and get topping!
How long will a green smoothie bowl last?
It is best to enjoy green smoothie bowls immediately to get the best and freshest flavour and colour. But if you want to save it for later, you can store it for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container – without the toppings! It might darken slightly because of oxidation, but the lemon juice will slow the process down. Before eating it, blend or stir it and add toppings.
