Smoothie bowls have become a massive trend on social media, so I thought I would create my own. This is a banana free smoothie bowl, and I have used avocado instead! You cant taste the avocado in this recipe. It lends itself so well as the texture is so creamy just like pureed bananas.
This is a taste of heaven and a brilliant nutritional way to start your morning in the summer months. It takes less than 10 minutes to put together so great for those busy starts.
I used milk for this recipe but feel free to use apple/pineapple juice instead, as milk dilutes the sweetness of the fruit. The toppings I used were pumpkin seeds, fruit and coconut. Feel free to choose any of your own, like chopped nuts and seeds.
Ingredients
There are a large variety of smoothie mixes in the supermarket these days. I used a tropical mixture with pineapple, mango, passionfruit and coconut chunks. I also freeze my avocado too sometimes. As I use them in baking, making pestos and smoothies, so It’s handy for me always to have them to hand and is incredibly convenient to use.

Step by step
Recipe
350 g frozen smoothie tropical fruit mix
1/2 pint of either plant-based milk or apple/pineapple juice
1 tbsp honey ( if using milk and need to sweeten it)
140 g avocado ( or 2 bananas)
Berries and nuts/seeds for garnishing
Method
Please take out the frozen fruit 10 minutes before you blend the ingredients so they defrost a little.
In a high powered blender, blitz all the ingredients together till smooth ( omitting the garnish ingredients)
Spoon the mixture once blended in 2 bowls and garnish with the toppings of your choice.
Variations
Swap the tropical fruit for any fruit of your choice if it’s not your jam. You can also experiment with the toppings too. By adding different nuts, seeds and fruit to your breakfast bowl.
