Recipe Questions & Answers

→ Can I make this bowl ahead of time?

The smoothie base is best enjoyed immediately while freshly blended and thick. However, you can prep the fruit portions in advance and store them in the freezer. The toppings can also be pre-portioned in containers for quick assembly.

→ How do I make it completely dairy-free?

Simply swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or any other plant-based alternative. Use agave syrup instead of honey if you prefer to avoid bee products. The result remains just as creamy and delicious.

→ What if I can't find fresh guava?

Frozen guava works wonderfully and is often more accessible. Alternatively, substitute with additional mango, pineapple, or even papaya to maintain the tropical profile. Each substitution brings its own delightful twist.

→ How can I make the base thicker?

Use less liquid or add more frozen banana. You can also freeze the mango and guava beforehand instead of using fresh. A handful of oats or avocado can also boost creaminess without altering the flavor significantly.

→ What other toppings work well?

Sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, or cacao nibs add great texture. Fresh tropical fruits like kiwi, papaya, or passion fruit complement the flavors beautifully. A drizzle of almond butter or tahini adds richness and protein.

→ Is this suitable for meal prep?

While best fresh, you can freeze individual portions of the blended base in ice cube trays. When ready to eat, blend the frozen cubes briefly until smooth, then add your toppings. This method preserves texture and nutritional value.
