smoothie bowl recipe
Ok but they could open a smoothie bowl shop and i would totally go
There a smoothie bowl açaí place called playa bowls
Me to
Yes
@MonA LiSa Heree! ….
RIGHT
1) cold fruit
2)small amount of liquid "splash"
3) have a blender
4) scrape the sides of the blender
5) get "cute" bowls... no... get THEIR bowls that "keep the smoothy colder for longer"
they said so much and absolutely nothing at the same time i-
Here's my best tips, so you at least get some benefit for clicking on this video:
Try to have the fruit pieces cut evenly small or use fruits that are water-based to mix in (pineapples, melons, apples, pears, grapes, etc). This way you're getting added sweetness, but without needing to oversaturate your smoothie with a liquid base. Also, most people start on the highest setting which can burn out your motor, when you should always start low and slow. Make sure your softest fruits are on the bottom so that they can liquefy and offer enough of a smooth base for the more fibrous foods/veg on top to blend properly. Use the tamper to press down, but also make sure to move the fruit around to allow air to flow in. You want to create a vortex in the middle, so opening up pockets of air on the sides and near the blades will allow the food to coalesce through the center. This will give you a fluffier and creamier texture. Once you see about half of it has gotten smooth, you can start ramping up the speed. If that's still giving you problems, make your smoothie in batches. Start with a 1/3 of the fruits you intend to blend and add more fruit through the lid as it blends. To avoid slushy results, throw fruits in the freezer for at least 2 hours or more. If you have rock-hard frozen fruit, make sure to thaw them for up to 15 min prior to blending. I also make sure my blender carafe has also been sitting in the fridge, so that it counteracts the kinetic heat that builds up while blending. Your bowl and spoon should also sit in the fridge, this ensures you can enjoy your smoothies, without them thawing while you eat. The best bowls that retain cold temperature are made of stainless steel, NOT coconut bowls lol.
I literally just commented that their last tip was beyond gross. I hadn’t read yours first, but you summed it up great. They just literally said that a half of a coconut shaped bowl that was lined with plastic will keep your smoothie cold for longer LOL!
Omg seriously. What the hell did I just watch;_; is this for little kids or
OMG XD, love this. I immediately came to comments to see if anyone summarized it
thank you
"you need a good blender"
my blender: starts smoking
But i don't have an expensive blender but still i make thick smoothie bowls i always use normal whole milk 1/4 cup i don't measure particularly but estimate and add the softest fruit to the bottom like banana then mango and then strawberry i always make this one its good so it might help you
🤣🤣🤣
Relatable
I KNOW SAME
Same 😭
I don't have a fancy blender, but what I have found helps to get the right consistency is using frozen banana and half an avocado! I use an açaí packet, frozen banana, avocado and a splash of almond milk and OMG!! The first time I did it I thought to myself "Twin Coast would approve!!!" hahaha Since I don't have a fancy blender I do have to start and stop a couple times to mix it up, but its worth it!!!
Looong comments
I'll try, thanks for the advice!
1. All ingredients have to be frozen
2. Only use minimal amount of liquid
3. Blender quality makes a difference
4. Stop and start when blending (scrape and push the contents down in between blends)
Putting the bowls you are going to use to eat it out of in the freezer also keeps the smoothies from melting fast!
Thanks
Many coconut bowls tell you not to freeze them. I would read about your particular bowls first before freezing them
That's good to know thank you
Thansk
I tried it, it works enough that i’ll take time into doing it but definitely does not stop it completely
comments: my blender doesn’t get my smoothie bowl thick and smooth
ashley and taylor: you don’t need a good blender, you need our coconut bowls and everything will be fine
lmaoo
I had a ninja but my ex took it last week so I gotta get a new one... but before then I was making amazing smoothies because of you two. The tips on using less liquid worked so well... Thank you 💖
I say steal the blender
"you need to have the twin coast coconut bowls for it to be thick and taste good"
shameless plug
LIES!
They tried to sneakily put it in but uhh...
🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
😭😭
epic tip: if you have a kind of bad blender and it comes out too runny because you have to add more milk because otherwise it like absolutely breaks then make it liquid-ish till it’s fully blended then add in more fruit later to make it creamy :)
i have tried it with a little bit of milk and it works and it looked pretty thick and tasty thank you for your amazing recipes!!!!
Me: I have a ok blender...
The smoothie: starts blowing up....
Me: uhhhh that’s still ok right?
Omg 🤣
Literally meeeeeeee😭😭
😂 LOL
I don’t have a fancy blender, so my smoothies never come out right
@•LeiaWasTheImposter • i have ninja one
@Daphnie Tudor better off hunting down a used vitamix or blendtec. Ninja have all plastic drive components, and a blade design that’s a gimmick.
Ya dont need an expensive blender or even a blender I use a food processor and it works although I want a ninja now
@Geese-ette. 200+ or 100+ 😥
@•iihxneybee• Lmao the newer ones are like 500
i find that even with a good blender, my smoothie bowls take some time to fully blend and it gets all over the sides.
I usually only make small amounts for my sister and myself. I don’t want to throw away what I don’t eat if I make too much, so do you have tips for making smaller amounts?
I don’t know where I found this but put in a bowl and cover with cling wrap or foil and put in the refrigerator and the next day or whenever you are going eat the smoothie bowl leave it out for a little while (not too long) and get a spoon mash the smoothie bowl(not the actual bowl) into pieces and put it in your blender and add very tiny amount of liquid like a few tablespoons and it should be good as new.
Using a food processor and assembling my fruits from soft ones first to firmer ones on top really helps. I used to think i have to blend the harder ones first but that always gives me juice lol. Also i barely ever use liquid
My favourite smoothie has 2 bananas, an apple, ~2tbsps peanut butter and some milk to make it thinner. It literally tastes so good!
Just made my first smoothie bowl! It didnt turn out as thick as I'd like but I'm not going to blame my blender since it can actually handle it. I added a little bit too much milk
I have the same blender. I use 1/4 cup liquid but getting it to go from chunks of fruit to s shape you have a the end is so hard. The blade would run and run without doing anything. I even use the tamper. I think you need to do an unedited, real time video making one of your bowls.
I think when this happens you can add another splash of milk IM NOT SURE
@Alanna Norris any update on this mine does the same! Did anything help you??
Yessss I have a Vitamix and tried their method tonight and even though I kept pushing everything down and using a tamper, it would only blend for a few seconds before the blades were whirring around doing nothing again.
0:54 “or else this is gonna happen”
*shows exactly what my smoothies look like*
Me: ... 🥲
Mine is as thin as liquid 😭
I agree, eating out of a coconut bowl is soooo much fancier 10/10 recommend
I recommend it too
your smoothies seem to have like no seeds. whenever i do these things i still have a lot of seeds all over the smoothie
@Joshua its a colzer
works nicely in general but the seeds annoy me
@Joliax what type of blender do you have? Blendtec?
@Joshua this happens to me aswell,
i dont use the tamper
and I do use a high setting
i dont have a vitamix but the blender is 1300W
@Susanne pineapple and mango with blueberries is everything u could ask for in a smoothie
Its okay, they dont really taste anything
You don’t have to have a REALLY good blender. It worked perfectly for me, but if you want your smoothie thick, you have to add less fruit and more base fruit.
I’m really excited about these coconut bowls I’m gonna buy some :)
Ninja Foodie. I just bought one and it’s marketed specifically FOR smoothie bowls (but make sure you get the right one) and nut butters. It’s a GREAT cheap alternative and made me a thick smoothie bowl in like 20 seconds
Easiest way to make kinda smoothie bowls.
Make a smooth fruit paste and freeze it for some time , but make sure you stir it in for every 20 mins and leave it in freezer it's better than getting your blender broken like @ Esmelarda lagos Marmol.
I love your videos they are amazing and this helped so much!
Also a trick, leave your bowl in the fridge for a short amount of time so that it’s cold and the smoothie stays cold
If you're using coconut bowls they shouldn't go in the fridge.
I have a fancy blender WITH A TOUCHSCREEN and i still can’t make good smoothies.....
spill the brand
Same-
same lol it’s a ninja 😂
Use a food processor. It will be thicker and creamier. Trust me. I always do this now
ninja blenders are awesome
Tip: use a food processor
Barry Reed What was the difference?
yass
That’s what I literally use
No, I tried that. I brought a blender myself and it worked so much better
Really? I have one I think
I've been making smoothies with ice and cold fruit. Now I know I need frozen fruit to make it thick.
YOU SHOULD PUT THE LINK OF YOUR BLENDER! 🥺
I usually end up with too much liquid bc I go to blend fruit with no liquid, and it turns into a frozen lump and won't mix.
Okay I have a Vitamix and I still struggle making thick smoothies... I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. It takes so long and I feel like It still doesn’t blend everything up well.
My blender literally being so cheap and can't make smoothie bowls because you have to add like three thousand cups of milk!! Like if your blender is like that too....
They did a video of how to do it with the magic bullet blender!!
yup i have a hand blender and you have to add a lot of liquid or else it will break loll
just watching these videos make me want to suddenly eat healthy lol
Thanks for the tips 😁
I cant wait until you guys restock the bowls and spoons 🤗🤗
My blender is really good but there isn’t like a ‘tamper’ to mix it around so I have to take it off and mix it around so it takes forever as the fruit gets stuck up at the top and the smoothie but at the bottom
What was that blue powder you used in this series? It looks so pretty
i think it's spirulina! (:
I love this vid and I just wanted to ask if I can make a big batch and refrigerate the rest?
Great points!!!!! Thank you both for sharing
what about some yogurt instead of milk? i’d love to know if that could work
Could you use a food processor?? It has the hole in top to push the stuff down and is way more high powered than my nutri bullet. I guess I should just try 😂
can you buy and use a tamper stick in any blender? like while the blender is running or does it have to be a vitamix
I wouldn't suggest buying a tamper for a blender it's not designed to pair with. The Vitamix tamper is designed to stop above the blades so it never makes contact with the blades just helps to push down whatever you're blending. If you use a tool like this with other blenders chances are you will destroy it and probably the blender.
Which vitamix blender do you have?
Appreciate this video with tips
Ahh I have the exact same blender as them and mine still turn out sour and chunky. 😔
Oop
OK HOW DOES YOUR BLENDER BKEND PROPERLY WITH THAT LITTLE OF LIQUID, I HAVE A VITAMIX BUT IT CANNOT BLEND THAT NICE WITH SUCH LITTLE LIQUID
people in the comments you can get super cheap coconut bowls on amazon cuz not all of us can afford a 30 dollar bowl and spoon
I got a set of 4 bowls and spoons for just over 30 with taxes and shipping.
I have a 30 year old blender but my smoothies come out super thick! It just may or may not take ne like 20 minutes to make
Is it ok if you use regular milk instead of almond milk?
My smoothies are always disgusting. I believe I need a different liquid other than water or nut milk. I also add flax, green powders, etc. Could that be why?
Do you guys buy your fruit frozen or do you buy fruit, prep it, and freeze it? Can you sub 2% milk for almond milk?
My mom started to get mad because I did not use much liquid and she said it would run out. the miter on the blender and she has a vita mix
What would run out?
Twin Coast, you should make a what we eat in a day vid/ workouts/ tutorial. Comment if agree. I there is 45 comments saying yes, than they can think about it maybe.😁 Follow them in UA-cam and Pinterest.😊
@Elizabeth R :))))
Ok
Yes
Thanks. Tell everyone about it!😊
Yes
don’t use china/porcelain bowls because the smoothie will melt faster
I won't to make a lemon and banana smoothie with mint leaves I'm just wondering if I can use frozen lemons or squeeze the juice out.
Thank you for the advice🤝
The part about too much liquid vs frozen fruit is true. A good blender does make a difference. Exactly which fruits you use, make a big difference as well. For example, 1/4 frozen banana for a small serving is perfect for achieving that texture. they're making about 4 cups so I'm assuming they put in a whole frozen banana. Bananas are high in carbs and high in sugars, so if you want an alternative (or if you just don't like banana like me) you can use 1/8 cup frozen cauliflower to 1/4 frozen banana. You won't be able to taste it. You could use unsweetened nut milk for your splash like they do here. They texture really is just a good high-powered blender to actually blend the frozen fruit and a proper ratio of fruit to liquid. If your blender can't deal with the whole fruit frozen then chop it up in pieces and then freeze it. blend in batched and it might help. I broke my last blender because of the whole strawberries I tried to blend. lol
still waiting to know what setting they use/power level on the vitamix
If you don't want the smoothie bowl to melt quick then freeze the bowl and then put it in. Also it really doesn't matter if you have a good blender or not I have a 5-7 yo blender and it has no tamper using a spoon is not as hard as people make it seem
“You need a good blender”
I think I’ve had the same blender for about 8 years now
20 years old blender 😂
beat that
“Makes the smoothie last longer for whatever reason” lmao. Those bowls are cool though
The last "tip" was an add 100%
Can you please leave the link of the blender you use in the description box below
“Make it feel like your in Hawaii” well I feel in Hawaii every day, I live in Honolulu, Hawaii where Ashley went for a bit
That sounds really cool! Hawaii is one of my dream destinations
Can your blender break while doing that?
Is a thermomix good for smoothies as well? Because that’s what I have
I use a Thermomix for smoothies and it’s an old version but it works really well and makes kinda thick smoothies!
Twin coast was how I stared too become more health and eat more fruit
Sometimes you want a thinner smoothie, so you can drink it out of a straw.
Can you please tell me what specific blender you guys have?
Can I use a wooden rolling pin to push the fruit
"you need a good BLENDER"

Can you do a raspberry and BlackBerry smoothie plzzz
SO PEOPLE IDK IF ITS IN ONLY IN CA BUT IN COSTCO THERE SELLING SOME HIGH SPEED BLENDS BRAND NINJA FOR ONLY $60 AND IT WORKS AMAZING IT BLENDS LIKE A VITAMAX , ;)
@Katie Andrade ninja
WUT what’s it called??
But making a smoothie bowl in a magic bullet it’s dangerous to use all of them frozen .... it may damage the blender
Does it? i use frozen fruit every time lols
I have a magic bullet and I only use frozen fruits! It just take longer for the smoothie to blend... I have to shake it out a few times
are the prices on the shop in cad or usd?
What model Vitamix Blender do you use?
idk but for me adding like 3 tbsp of chia seeds can thicken it up
I love your channel I am a small smoothie youtuber and you guys are my idols
So I made the berry smoothie with strawberries, blueberries, blackberry, & Almond Milk. And after Blending I added 1 Large Banana and 1/4 Cup Granola. It was really bitter. Not sweet. I’m diabetic and I don’t want to add sugar, and I don’t like Sugar Substitutes. What is your recommendations for Sweetening the smoothie and keeping it healthy??? I tried Honey and it helped but It’s a lot of Sugar. Thank You 🌺
You can try vanilla almond milk or incorporating sweeter fruits like mangos, pineapple, tangerines, grapes, acai, dragonfruit really anything
you can also add some greek yogurt
I love your vids so much!!
Absolutely incredible
Omgg where can I get one of those amazing fancy golden spoons? I’m in Ireland
What’s the blender called? I want one so I can start making a beautiful smoothie
It's a Vitamix. They have so many styles. You would just have to Google and research what would be best for you. FYI they are pricey.
Can we have normal milk instead of almond milk
I just ordered a coconut bowl 😍
Yummmmyyyy
Which Vitamix blender do you use?
Is the ninja 1000-watt a good blender for thick smoothies?
They deserve more subs and views
Actually, I have a very bad blender, but my smoothie bowls are pretty good...
What setting do you the blender because there is 7 different modes
Ice Crush,Pulse,Puree,Whip,Mix,Grate,&Blend
Can a handhold blender work? Because it works well for me!!
What other blenders would you recommend
When u put any type of milk does something change?
I can hear coach Greg saying “BUY THE FRICKIN NINJA!!”
I use a food processor instead, and It works fine.
I bought a blender for like 10 dollars and it works perfectly for the smoothie bowl 💀💀💀
