Recipe FAQ's
There's really not much difference aside from the fact that a smoothie is served in a glass and a smoothie bowl is served in a bowl. Most smoothie bowls are a little thicker, as you can eat them with a spoon. And smoothie bowls typically have toppings of fresh fruit, granola, seeds or other things.
Yes, you can drink this as well, either way works!
Reduce the water in the smoothie before blending. You can always add in more liquid, but you can't take it out. So, if you like a super thick smoothie then use less liquid at first and only add more as needed. Also, use a blender tamper when you are blending as this will help you get a thicker smoothie without adding in more liquid.
Yes, feel free to use a regular vanilla yogurt or even a flavored one that you like as well. Strawberry, blueberry, mango, anything would be really good!
Yes, if you use a coconut based (or cashew based) yogurt then this is dairy free.
Yes, you can add your favorite protein powder for an extra boost of protein. I actually prefer just organic collagen peptides for a natural protein source.
Yes, feel free to use any kind of fruits to make the rainbow. There's many other fruits that will work just as well. Raspberries, dragon fruit or watermelon work for the red or pink color. Other yellow fruits you could use include passionfruit, peaches, nectarines or banana slices! Instead of oranges you could use mango, papaya, or apricots. For green fruit, you could swap in green grapes. In place of the blackberries, you could use plums!
In addition to the fresh fruits, you can also add chia seeds, hemp seeds, granola, toasted coconut or even a drizzle of nut butter like cashew butter.
Smoothies are best when enjoyed right after blending. If you are trying to save time in the morning, you can prep the fruit topping in advance. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge. Then you can just blend up and top in the morning.
