TIPS ON MAKING THE BEST EVER THICK PINEAPPLE BANANA SMOOTHIE BOWL

USE FROZEN FRUIT & VEGGIES ONLY. Frozen fruits and vegetables will make your smoothies super thick and creamy. Fresh fruits will make your smoothie bowl really watery. Don't use any fresh fruit in this pineapple banana smoothie smoothie bowl unless you're using it as a topping.

DON'T USE TOO MUCH LIQUID. Only start with a splash of liquid in your pineapple smoothie bowl and add more only as needed to get the blades of your blender going. Too much liquid will make your smoothie bowl watery and unable to support toppings.

USE YOUR TAMPER OR STIR DOWN DOWARDS THE BLADES. Keep pushing chunks of frozen fruit towards the bottom of your blender until it is smooth and creamy.

DON'T OVER BLEND. Once your smoothie is smooth, stop blending it! If you keep blending for too long it can start to melt and you won't have a super thick bowl.

To make this tropical pina colada inspired smoothie bowl is super easy! People ask me all the time how I get my bowls so thick, and the trick is really in the frozen fruit! And of course not having the heat too high in your house so it doesn't melt.

Start by adding the frozen banana, frozen pineapple, and coconut water to your blender.

Turn your blender on low. You will notice that it is not blending quickly. This is okay! You will have to turn your blender off a few times and push the frozen chunks down:

Just look at that perfect texture:

Scoop the smoothie into a bowl and add your toppings.

I love to add mango flowers to mine. They're pretty easy to cut also. You just need to make sure you are using a very sharp knife and that the mango is ripe!

Add your other healthy smoothie bowl toppings and enjoy! This is a pretty big smoothie, so you can always share it with someone!
