Superfruit Berry Breakfast Bowl

Blueberry and Banana Smoothie Bowl 

Quick, Easy, Affordable Valentines Recipe

Whilst playing around with valentines ideas for my blog, I knew I needed to write a recipe that wasn't just about love and the 'perfect' valentines day. As a Twenty something year old Londoner striving for love and career success but finding single life and a string of dates not worth mentioning, of course I was naturally lead to the most relatable female character on the planet 'BRIDGET JONES'. I wanted to write a healthy recipe inspired by the iconic single lady, and a recreation of her 'BLUE STRING SOUP' seemed like the perfect idea..although this one contains no string and is super delicious.

So here is my recipe for valentines 2018. Dedicated to all the singletons out there, trying to succeed at life and love. Here's to a fabulous Valentines day filled with friendship, love and a super yummy bowl of  Blue String Soup Blueberry and Banana Smoothie.

     

The Health Benefits:

Blueberries are filled with antioxidants, which fight free radicles helping to keep your cells in tip top condition. The banana provides essential potassium and carbohydrate, whilst the oats provide fiber, preventing the fast absorption of the sugars, reducing blood sugar spikes and keeping you fuller for longer. 

The recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 cup Frozen Blueberries
• 1 1/2 Bananas 
• 25g Porridge Oats
• 3 tbsp almond milk 

Method:

Add the Blueberries, Banana, and Oats to a food processor with the almond milk. 

Blitz until smooth, add more almond milk if needed.

Remove from processor and add toppings (banana, oats, berries, nut butter, seeds).

Enjoy!
