Papaya oat chia smoothie bowl FAQ:
If you don’t have papaya, you can substitute it with other smooth-textured fruits like mango or peach for a similar sweetness and creaminess.
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.
To adjust the thickness, you can add more liquid (water or milk) if it’s too thick, or increase the amount of oatmeal if it’s too thin.
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.
After soaking for 10-15 minutes, chia seeds should have absorbed water and formed a gel-like consistency, making them perfect for mixing into the smoothie bowl.
Tips:
- For a smoother consistency, freeze the banana and papaya chunks ahead of time.
- Adjust the thickness of the smoothie by adding more or less liquid, such as almond milk or water.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla extract.
