It’s getting close to summer (in Europe) and what better way to spend a hot summers day, than eating fresh fruit! Whether it be a bowl of freshly chopped fruit, a blended juice or better yet, turned into a delicious smoothie bowl! We are slightly obsessed (if you haven’t already noticed) with our smoothie bowls and I have come up with a fresh summer smoothie bowl recipe for you!
TIP! This recipe is suitable for vegans 🙂
Ingredients
(serves 2)
250g of frozen raspberries
2 ripe bananas
1 avocado
30g of Agave Syrup (alter to your sweetness level)
50ml of Almond Milk
Decoration
Mangos
Dragon fruit
Chia seeds
You can use whatever you like for the toppings. I chose to use these ingredients as they have a very ‘fresh’ taste to them. I added the chia seeds for extra health benefits, which will also keep you full for longer. You can alter this however you like, but I recommend you try it like this 😉
Instructions
Cut the avocado in half, and remove the seed. Use a spoon to remove the skin from the avocado.
Chop the banana into pieces and measure the almond milk using a measuring jug. Separate 30g of agave syrup (around 2 tablespoons).
Put the raspberries, avocado, banana, almond milk and the agave syrup into the blender.
Start blending until it is smooth. This usually takes 1 minute.
If it is too thick, add some more almond milk to the mixture. Blend the mixture further until it is completely smooth.
Separate the mixture into portions and begin decorating.
TIP! You can use this recipe as a healthy dessert-like treat. The tip is, don’t use banana in the recipe! It gives a fantastic ‘kick’ but you won’t be able to eat a whole bowl of it as it has a very powerful taste! It is however the perfect little treat. Think of it as a healthy ‘sorbet’. Put it in a regular size glass and there you go. Thank me later!
P.S. We want to know how you get on!
