Storage Instructions (Because Life Happens)

The texture might get a little weird, so give it a quick blend before eating. Freezing? Not recommended unless you enjoy chewing your smoothie.

FAQs (Because You’re Curious)
Can I use frozen avocado?
Absolutely.
Frozen avocado works great and makes the bowl even creamier. Just thaw it slightly before blending.
Is this smoothie bowl vegan?
Yep, as long as you skip the collagen or use a plant-based alternative. Everything else is vegan-friendly.
Can I meal prep this?
IMO, it’s best fresh.
But you can pre-measure the ingredients and blend them in the morning for a faster fix.
What if I don’t have a high-powered blender?
No worries. Just blend longer and scrape down the sides. You might need to add a bit more liquid, though.
