storage/reheating
I enjoy this smoothie bowl fresh because the texture is best immediately after blending. If I need to store leftovers, I keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 day.
Before eating, I let the smoothie bowl sit at room temperature for a few minutes so it softens slightly. Since this recipe is served cold, I do not reheat it.
