Smoothie Bowl Recipe: Ingredient Substitutions
Frozen Fruit. Choose your favorite frozen berries/fruit. The fruit must be frozen to achieve the proper thickness and consistency.
Banana. If you don't prefer bananas, you use another starchy food like avocado for creaminess, you will need to add more honey if you make this substitution.
Almond milk. Any non-dairy milk works excellently in this recipe. I love using coconut milk for a tropical flavor. You can also use regular dairy milk.
