Smoothie Bowl

I had my first smoothie bowl last summer and 

then again when we were down in Cabo, and

hubby and I fell in love.  Smoothie bowls are the

perfect breakfast or even dessert for summer.

We are headed to Lake Powell next week and

this will be featured on our menu for breakfast.

My Week of Lake Powell Menus are always one

of my most popular posts for the summer.  I noticed

people are already reading them.  We don't do hot dogs

and plain old hamburgers when we houseboat at

Lake Powell - everyone does their best to cook a

great meal.  Look forward to my week's menu

after we get back.  

Of course you can mix it up every time you make

one, but this smoothie bowl features items that we

almost always have around the kitchen.

Smoothie Bowl Recipe

1-2 bananas, cut into pieces

1 handful of blueberries,

1 handful of raspberries,

6 - 8 strawberries,

1 orange peeled

1 C. ice cubes

Place everything in a blender until smooth.

You want the smoothie to be thick so that

it is spoonable and the toppings won't sink to

the bottom.  You can substitute frozen fruit for

the ice cubes if you want.  

This should make enough for two people.  Divide

into two bowls and top with fresh fruit and sprinkles of

granola, coconut or nuts - anything you love that gives

it some texture and flavor.   Eat right away.  

So easy and quick and refreshing and 

perfect on a hot summer day.

Enjoy all the fun tastes of summer.  Add some pineapple, mango,

or any fruits you love.  

I told my friends the other day,

"I have waited my whole life for summer!" 

Enjoy every minute of it for it flies!
