After the avocado-and-turmeric-bread, I have another favorite breakfast! I especially enjoy it in during spring time! And it’s a strawberry smoothie bowl of course!
What is a smoothie bowl?
Smoothie bowls consist of a mixture a little thicker than a smoothie, that we treat like cream! Just pour the mixture in a bowl, add various cereals and nuts and you’re ready! It’s super delicious and incredibly invigorating too!
The backstory :
Smoothie bowls are a fairly common breakfast abroad!
I tried it a bit by accident. A few years ago, I made a strawberry and banana smoothie that turned out thicker than I would have liked! So I improvised (once again) and added my cereal on top! It was delicious and I was eating it every day even though the peopole around me told me that this “thing” looked disgusting! After a while, I visited my friend Christina in Amsterdam and saw that this strange breakfast I was eating is called a “smoothie bowl” and it’s actually a super cool breakfast in Europe!
Basic rules for a smoothie bowl :
