Making it Thick

A smoothie bowl is nothing more than a regular smoothie with a thicker texture. So, how do you make smoothie bowls thicker? Ice! It’s not just to make your smoothie refreshing but also to make it thicker. Chia seeds are also great for yielding thick smoothies since they absorb liquid quickly.

If you already blended your smoothie and it’s still thinner than desired, you can add oats, flax meal, or a few extra ice cubes. Boom! Epic thick texture in seconds.

Best Toppings

This Coffee Smoothie Bowl includes sliced strawberries, pumpkin seeds, mini chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. I love this combo, but honestly, whatever you like will make the best smoothie. Other toppings I usually include are berries, sliced fruit, dried fruit, nuts, granola, nut butter, hemp seeds, and sunflower seeds.
