Tips
It is a good idea to ensure that all ingredients are cold when added to the blender. Even if the bowls are chilled after blending, cold ingredients help create a thick, ice-cream-like texture with a deliciously creamy mouthfeel. If the ingredients are room temperature, the smoothie can be slightly waterier. The cold ingredients may also reduce the chilling time afterwards, meaning you can enjoy a refreshingly cool meal sooner than the suggested 30 minutes.
Tips
For an extra creamy texture, use frozen banana. This is also a good way of saving overripe bananas from going bad. Just chop them and store them in the freezer for the next time you are making a smoothie bowl.

Enjoy an avocado smoothie bowl with dates and green apples
Morning, afternoon, or evening, there is no wrong time to savour a spoonable smoothie bowl with rich avocado, sweet dates, and fresh apples. Though the main ingredients are rarely combined, the result is nothing short of mouth-watering. Just like our green smoothie bowl, this one gets its vibrant colouring from the spinach and avocado.
Indulge in the perfect combination of creaminess, tanginess, and sweetness
The flavours of this banana and apple smoothie bowl with avocado are well-balanced. The wonderful sweetness of the banana and dates pairs nicely with the creamy richness of the avocado. Skyr provides a refreshing counterpoint to this natural sweetness as well as the velvety texture of the avocado. So too does the crisp green apple. Together skyr and apple serve to make the avocado smoothie bowl fresh and vibrant.
The nutty flavour of the almonds adds depth, and provides a nice contrast to the sweetness of the fruits. If left a little chunky, they can also provide a delightful crunch, which offers a pleasant contrast to the otherwise smooth texture.
Topped with fresh berries, chia, and granola
An avocado banana smoothie bowl becomes even more scrumptious with well-selected toppings. Berries are an obvious choice. They imbue it with freshness, and their natural brightness makes for a great contrast to the creamy base. Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries bring a complex sweet-tart flavour that freshens the eating experience and makes it even more colourful and visually appealing.
Elevating your avocado berry smoothie bowl with crunchy selections takes it to another level. Chia seeds and granola are excellent choices as they not only provide a nice crunch but also add flavour. Their subtle nuttiness and earthiness complement the creamy base and the sweet berries well and serve to create a harmonious meal. Finally, green apple sticks bridge the gap between the two types of toppings, bringing both freshness and crunch.
Feel free to adjust the recipe as you please
The great thing about an avocado smoothie bowl with apples is that it tastes great with plenty of different ingredients and toppings. We advise keeping the avocado, banana, and skyr to ensure a great mouthfeel.
If you do not have any almonds in your pantry, you can easily use another nut type, like hazelnuts or walnuts, to provide the same nutty undertones. Instead of regular milk, you can find inspiration in our blueberry smoothie bowl and use coconut milk. Doing so will give the smoothie base a sweeter taste with tropical undertones.
If the idea of a tropical twist appeals to you, you might like to add dried coconut flakes to your list of ingredients. The flakes will provide a crunchy and somewhat chewy texture, just like they do in our blackberry smoothie bowl, which is also topped with herbaceous fresh mint leaves, another option you might like to explore.
