Breakfast for dinner is a thing. Brunch is a thing. Heck, those Special K adverts from a few years ago made out that breakfast (a measly bowl of cereal, but still…) for basically every meal was a thing! And now, thanks to whichever genius it was who first realised that blending up frozen bananas and other frozen fruits results in a sort of semi-frozen smoothie that for all the world tastes like sorbet, dessert for breakfast has now become a ‘thing’, too!
This frozen smoothie bowl is my favourite breakfast at the moment. It’s so full of goodness, and manages to be light and refreshing and yet unexpectedly filling and satisfying at the very same time. Feel free to be as creative as you fancy with the toppings- I like to sneak a few chia seeds in there for the calcium boost, as well as a handful of granola and some fresh fruit too.
But really though, there’s not much that can improve upon having a bowl of ice-cream (well, there or thereabouts) for breakfast, is there?
Serves 1-2, dependent on how hungry you are and also how quickly you get brain-freeze…;)
I N G R E D I E N T S + I N S T R U C T I O N S ::
2 frozen ripe bananas
1 cup of frozen berries
250ml coconut milk (I use Alpro Coconut + Rice blend)
~
Fresh fruits, seeds, nuts / granola as toppings.
- Place the bananas, berries, and coconut milk into a blender, & blend until smooth and creamy. {I use a NutriBullet, so often divide the ingredients in half and whizz them up in 2 batches to help it blend more easily.}
- Scoop out into a bowl, add on any fruit, nuts, or seeds that you fancy, and then eat right away to beat the melt…
