FAQs
Can I use fresh fruit instead of frozen?
Frozen fruit helps create the thick, creamy texture typical of smoothie bowls. Fresh fruit can be used, but you may want to add ice or freeze the fruit beforehand for the best consistency.
Is spirulina safe for everyone?
Spirulina is generally safe for most people, but if you have allergies or medical conditions, consult your doctor before adding it to your diet.

Notes
- Soaking chia seeds is essential to unlock their gelatinous texture, which adds thickness to the smoothie bowl.
- Frozen Greek yogurt adds creaminess and chill but can replace with plain Greek yogurt if needed, though texture will differ.
- Adjust the thickness by adding a splash of water or milk if the smoothie is too thick to blend.
- Bee pollen is optional but provides extra immune support and nutrients; be cautious if allergic to bee products.
- This bowl is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day; toppings should be added just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
