Want to turn this smoothie into a thicker, spoon able bowl? It’s easy with a few simple adjustments:
- Use less liquid – Start with about half the liquid and add only as needed to blend
- Add more frozen ingredients – Frozen fruit (especially banana) makes it thick and creamy
- Blend until thick – You’re aiming for a texture you can eat with a spoon
Pour into a bowl and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of granola for extra texture and staying power.

This turned out to be really, really good. I just used more pineapple than I should and it got too thick to drink, but not thick enough to spoon! Oh well, it still tasted great!
