Strawberries and Cream Smoothie Bowl.
In Australia right now, spring is just starting to show it's long-waited-for face and, DELIGHTFULLY, the weather is starting to get slightly warmer, the days are getting longer, there are flowers everywhere and the berries are insanely delicious, all of which makes me incredibly happy!
I don't hate the winter per say, though this year I definitely feel like I've had enough of the cold. I've essentially had 2 winters in one go, albeit with a few short weeks of late summer in between, having returned to Australia from Europe in February. This means I've had winter now for the better part of a year. You could say I've over it, which is why I think I'm particularly thrilled for spring this year and a bit more excited than usual.
Right now I am absolutely in love with all the beautiful, soft pink cherry blossoms all over the place. Ornamental cherry trees are super popular in gardens across south-eastern Australia, so the streets are quite literally lined with pretty pink flowers right now and I have not one single objection to this being the case! Feeling very much inspired by the beautiful pink blooms, as well as the plentiful supply of early-season strawberries available right now, I created this Strawberries and Cream Smoothie Bowl, which in my opinion, very much tastes and looks like spring! It's super simple to whip up, packed full of fruit, so wins the nutrition game and, arguably most importantly, taste's delightful, making it the full package really!
Ingredients;
3 bananas, peeled and frozen
1/2 cup coconut yoghurt (or coconut milk, though the latter will make the end product less thick and creamy)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 large handful fresh/frozen strawberries
Pulp from 1 passionfruit (optional)
1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and combine until everything is totally mixed in, thick and creamy. (Using a tamper will help, otherwise scrape the sides down until desired consistency is achieved).
2. Scoop out into a bowl and top with some crunchy granola, fresh passionfruit and some extra berries! Enjoy!
(I told you it was super simple!!!)
