The perfect summer breakfast surely is a nice, big smoothie bowl. It's like ice cream for breakfast, it's so so good! There's about a million and one ways to make a smoothie bowl but I'm currently obsessed with this red cherry version. Not only does it look cool it also tastes amazing - like summer in a bowl :)

toppings I used:

In a high speed blender add your frozen ingredients and your yoghurt and blend until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Keep adding soy milk as needed to help the mixture blend well and adjust how thick or liquidy your smoothie bowl is going to be.

Add the mixture to your bowls and decorate with toppings of your choice. I enjoy adding some more fruits on top and some crunch from nuts, seeds or granola is also always a good idea. I used some edible flowers here mainly because I feel they look nice sprinkled on top of literally anything, but they are obviously completely optional! You do you with the toppings :)

That's all there is to it: a quickly prepared breakfast, that's healthy, filling and pretty to look at! Let me know if you decide to make this and what toppings you chose to add :)

I recently made this super fluffy, perfectly delicious lemon and pistachio cake as a post hike treat and I loooove how green it turned out! :) This cake is naturally coloured by pistachios and spinach, so works completely without any food colourings etc. - and don't worry, you won't be able to taste the spinach :)

Here's what you'll need:

For the icing:

Defrost the spinach and mix with apple cider vinegar, plant milk, maple syrup and pistachios. Puree the mixture until it looks like a green smoothie :)

In a seperate bowl mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder salt and bicarbonate of soda.

Into the dry mixture, poor your "smoothie" as well as the lemon peel and melted margarine. Mix until it forms a creamy, greeny batter.

Grease a cake tin well (mine is 21x11cm) and add your batter to it. Alternatively you can line your cake tin with greaseproof paper. Pour in the batter and bake in a preheated oven for 50 - 60m minutes.

Leave to cool in the tin, before turning and decorating the cake with your icing and pistachio topping :)

There you go! This is obviously a sweet treat but pistachios are also good protein sources so let's call this a healthy-ish sweet treat? :) Let me know if you make this at home and tell me how you liked it :)
