I like a lot of things in life- but quite regularly breakfast trumps
all. It’s a known fact that at any hour I am thinking about the next
opportunity to eat breakfast. If I’m home alone and there is no one to tell me
off for not getting my serve of vegetables that meal, I’m heading straight to
the bottom shelf of my cupboard to get creative with nuts, seeds, fruit and
almond milk.
Be it porridge, fruit salad, or cereal- count me in. But as the
months get warmer and the university year is drawing closer to the end, I am
finding less energy to think about what I’m going to have and less patience to
wait ten minutes to cook something.
Do not fret though. All problems are solved. I have found love and
comfort and ease in the incredibly underrated smoothie bowl each morning.
The bonus with this bowl of goodness is that no matter what you put
in, it is rare for it to be horrible (or at least rare for it to be completely unsalvageable).
A friend of mine asked ‘What is a smoothie bowl?’ It’s a smoothie in
a bowl but thicker and with some stuff on top. No one’s hiring me as a food
critic any time soon, that ’s for sure. But basically, that’s what it is.
Some favourite ingredients are bananas (frozen or raw), berries
(frozen or raw), baby spinach, almond/coconut milk, coyo, acai, maca, and cacao
powder, peanut butter, cinnamon, dates, and a go-to rescue, honey or maple
syrup. On top I favour nuts and seeds, cacao nibs, cut up kiwi fruit or
strawberries. If you’re feeling adventurous (and have a brain that helps you
think ahead), I’d highly recommend making a chia pudding the night before and pouring
the smoothie on top in the morning. Delicious, and super filling.
But don’t listen to me- throw in anything and everything you own
into your old school blender or up-market nutribullet and go wild. Make
something tasty and continue to nourish those sexy bodies of yours!
