To be honest, I’ve never really ‘got’ smoothie bowls. I’ve always been quite happy drinking my blends but when I made this deliciously thick almost mousse-like concotion, a straw just wasn’t going to cut it. Out came the spoon. And then, once faced with a pale green blank canvas, I simply had to decorate it… This is a refreshingly cool, creamy, minty blend.
150 g silken tofu (silken is best for its ultra-smooth consistency)
¼-1/2 an avocado
a good handful of fresh mint leaves
a few leaves of lemon balm (optional, but my garden’s overrun with the stuff…)
juice of half a lime
½ tsp baobab powder (optional, adds tang & an immune boost)
½ tsp spirulina powder
½ – 1 frozen banana
about ¾ cup coconut water
Blend until creamy smooth, pour into a bowl, then feel free to play with it! I decorated mine with banana coins, chunks of granny smith apple, berries, chia seeds, almond slices & some random flowers that my daughter poked in from her flower patch…
