Papaya oat chia smoothie bowl FAQ:

How long can I store the smoothie bowl in the refrigerator?

You can store the assembled smoothie bowl in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best enjoyed fresh to maintain flavor and texture.

Prepare the multi-grain oatmeal according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves cooking it with water or milk, either on the stovetop or in the microwave.
