Frozen Smoothie Bowl
There’s this new food trend (new in the sense I’ve only known about it for a couple of months, but it’s probably been around for centuries) called ‘smoothie bowls’. These are basically smoothies, often made with frozen fruit, then topped off with all kinds of healthy nuts, seeds and fruit to make them look really pretty. For a long time now I’ve been looking for ways to make my diet healthier as I’ve been living off my bakes and comfort food for way too long, so here’s the new nutritious side of my food.
These bowls are great because you can get all kinds of frozen fruit all year round and it’s way cheaper than fresh fruit so you can have vitamin-packed fruity bowls for breakfast whenever you want! Like with all smoothies this would also be a great way of using up leftover fruit, so if you’ve got it bung it in. This is also probably the simplest thing I’ve ever made on here, it’s literally two steps and two easy steps at that, so if you’re looking at it and thinking ooo that’s effort, trust me it’s easier than it looks!
Recipe
Serves 2
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the smoothie
- 170g Frozen cherries
- 130g Frozen raspberries
- 50g Frozen blueberries
- 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 Banana, peeled
To top (all optional)
- Handful of Cashew nuts
- Handful of Ground almonds
- Handful of Flaked almonds
- 1 Banana, sliced
- 50g Dark chocolate, chopped finely
Method
- Put all the ingredients for the smoothie into a blender or food processor and whizz together until smooth. You might need to let the fruit defrost a little first so it’ll actually crush up.
- Spoon the smoothie into two bowls. Top with the sliced banana, nuts and chocolate. Enjoy!
