- If you prefer a thinner consistency, gradually add more milk but remember the smoothie bowl is meant to be thick to hold the toppings.
- Use frozen fruits to achieve that creamy, thick texture without diluting the flavor.
- Experiment with other toppings like granola, nuts, or seeds to customize your bowl.
