Smoothie Bowls I could Eat Every Single Day (And I am an ice cream lover)- Serves 2

Whilst you probably will not see me drinking ice coffees or frozen yoghurt, I never allow myself to be that far from whipping up on of these for breakfast. Personally, I am tired of hearing about what lettuce or type of vegetable is better for you. My goal here is just to encourage myself and others to eat more fruit and veg, because I do know they are very nutritious for us. As someone who is creative, and appreciates the rainbow, in pretty much every aspect in my life, but with low dexterity I honestly believe the is nothing better and refreshing then a smoothie bowl. And I know the joys of ice cream hehe.

Here are my 6 top tips I have found when making the below recipes, based on my limited experience:

1.       Invest in a good quality blender/ or one that specifies being good at dealing with ice.

2.       Place softer fruits at the bottom of the blender. This will help the blender cut through the frozen fruit.

3.       If you care about colour like I do (not that it really matters), note that substituting or adding to the ingredients below may result in a different colour smoothie bowl.

4.       You will need a bowl and spoon to eat your smooth bowl. Your smoothie bowl will initially come out with the consistency of  soft ice cream, but will melt in like 5 minutes.

5.       Any of the below recipes can be turned into drinking smoothies, just increase the milk (i.e. almond, coconut, or oat), to 1 cup to 1 and ½ cup.

6.       Pulse and do not just leave the blender running. This will ensure you get that spoon able consistency.
