# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The frozen banana creates an ice cream-like texture without any dairy or added sugar
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever is in your pantry or looking sad in the fruit bowl
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but looks impressive enough for Instagram
02 -
  • A frozen banana is non-negotiable for the right texture unless you want to add ice which will dilute the flavor
  • The smoothie base melts faster than you think so have your toppings ready before you start blending
03 -
  • Freeze your spinach in ice cube trays with a little water when it is about to go bad and use the cubes in future smoothie bowls
  • Invest in a good tamper tool for your blender if you make thick smoothies often as it saves so much scraping and stopping
