03 -
  • After years of making smoothie bowls daily, I have discovered that temperature is everything. For the best eating experience, your freezer should be set to 0°F or slightly below. This ensures your frozen ingredients maintain optimal texture without ice crystals that can water down your smoothie.
  • Additionally, chilling your serving bowls for 5 minutes before filling creates a smoothie bowl that stays thick and spoonable right to the last bite.
