FAQs

1. Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

For the base, frozen is best for texture. You can freeze fresh blueberries for a few hours before using.

2. Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes—use coconut yogurt or a plant-based Greek yogurt alternative.

3. How do I thicken the smoothie bowl?

Use less liquid and more frozen fruit, or add 1–2 tablespoons of oats or chia seeds while blending.

4. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?

Yes, but Greek yogurt gives a thicker, creamier result and more protein.

5. What blender works best?

A high-speed blender works best for frozen fruit, but pulse slowly with pauses if using a lower-power model.

6. Can I sweeten it more?

If needed, add a bit of honey, maple syrup, or a medjool date during blending.

7. Is this a good post-workout meal?

Yes—it provides carbs, protein, and antioxidants. Add protein powder to increase recovery benefits.

8. What’s a good nut-free topping?

Try sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or hemp hearts for crunch.

9. How do I make it kid-friendly?

Use mild fruits like banana and berries, skip chia if preferred, and let kids pick their toppings.

10. Can I meal prep smoothie bowls?

You can prep the fruit and freeze it in portions, but blending should be done fresh for the best consistency.
