This is without a doubt the best moment to gorge yourself on seasonal strawberries. They are everywhere, good value, they are super healthy and scrumptious. Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, low in calories and a high content in water, this fantastic fruit can also quench your appetite.
It is definately worth buying a big case of strawberries so you can freeze them for your recipes: smoothies, juices, smoothie bowls, jams…and use them when they are out of season.
There’s no secret I am a coconut lover, I use it a lot and like it in any possible way wether it is fresh, dry, milk, on sweet and savoury dishes…it is delicious and exotic. Yes, it is a bit more caloric than strawberries but perfect for this nutritious bowls, excellent for breakfast or as a snack, even as a dessert.(You’ll find a video with how to open a coconut easily in “Little hacks and tips”at the end of the post).
The smoothie bowl is basically a thicker smoothie to eat in a bowl with a spoon. Some toppings are usually added like fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, muesli… or anything you like. This is the perfect excuse to pamper yourself while eating the recommended daily fruit amount in a different way and enjoy something healthful with no rush.
