- Extra toppings like sliced fruits, nuts, or coconut flakes can add a wonderful crunch and flavor to your smoothie bowl.
- For an extra cool treat, chill your serving bowls for 10 minutes before filling them with the smoothie.
Storage and Substitutions
Refrigerate any leftover smoothie base in an airtight container for up to 1 day. To keep the toppings fresh, add them just before serving.
If kiwis are not in season, you can substitute them with fresh pineapple or mango for a tropical twist. For cucumber, a light and crisp apple works beautifully too.
