Notes
- Use frozen pineapple for a thicker consistency. If using fresh pineapple, add 2-3 ice cubes.
- For meal prep, portion and freeze fruit ahead of time in bags.
- The smoothie bowl should be thick enough to eat with a spoon. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit.
- Consume immediately for the best texture, especially to maintain the crunchiness of the puffed rice.
- For extra protein, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the base mixture.
- To make it vegan, substitute maple syrup for honey.
