The name says Pre-Workout, but this bowl can be made and had Post-Workout just as well. The ingredients used in the bowl will remain the same, just your choice of supplement would change. What are Smoothie Bowls?These are Smoothies, but with Toppings ,kinda like Frozen Yoghurts! A variety of flavours can be made with Smoothie Bowls! The toppings can include anything like Granolas, Healthy & Super Seeds, Dried and Fresh Fruits and also some Chocolate Chips! Differing from Smoothies, the quantity of milk in Smoothie Bowls is a bit less, giving just a bit thicker consistency to accompany the toppings right!Frozen Fruits!The recipe can be made using Frozen Bananas The best way to do this is to freeze Bananas in a Ziploc bag possibly overnight or 4-8 hours. This way you don't need to add ice to your smoothie, thus not receding the flavour of the fruit.ToppingsThe toppings you want to add depends upon, what you like and what you don't. Here are the toppings I used to make the bowl my own. 1. Sports Mix by Nutty Gritties https://www.amazon.in/Nutty-Gritties-Sports-Mix-Blueberries/dp/B07WBY2FDQ?th=12.
