Hi.

My name is Justine, and this is the little corner of the web that I’ve created to share things that interest and inspire me. I hope you’ll make yourself at home, and join in the conversation!

Creamy Berry Avocado Smoothie Bowl

Creamy Berry Avocado Smoothie Bowl

I don’t know about you, but I’m a year-round smoothie enthusiast. This fact starts to seem pretty nutty come the middle of winter, when I find myself shivering through my breakfast, but I just love that smoothies allow you to start your day with a hefty portion of fruit and veg, all in one glass. On weekday mornings, I usually drink them as they are, but weekends are the time to pour them into bowls to top with all your favourite things – think nuts, seeds, more sliced fruit…you get the idea!

Prep time: 5 mins

Total time: 5 mins

 Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 banana

• 2 cups of frozen berries (I like a mix of strawberries and raspberries)

• Juice of ¼ lemon (optional)

• ½ a ripe avocado, peeled

• 2 tbsp hemp seeds

• 2 cups of plant milk of choice (almond, coconut, oat, etc.)

• Your favourite smoothie bowl toppings (optional, for this photo I used sliced bananas and strawberries, puffed quinoa, sliced almonds, and shredded coconut)

Instructions:

  1. Pour all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. I often do this using a large measuring cup and my immersion blender. Either pour into two glasses or two bowls. If making bowls, top with all your chosen toppings and dig in!
