- Adjust Liquid Consistency: Add almond milk gradually to achieve your desired smoothie thickness.
- Experiment with Toppings: While granola is classic, try toasted nuts, chia seeds, or coconut flakes for variety.
- Serve Immediately: Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh to maintain their creamy texture and vibrant flavors.
- Optional Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for extra nutritional value.
- Spice It Up: Don't be afraid to experiment with additional spices like nutmeg or cardamom alongside cinnamon.
