My computer is still broken. Sad face. So I am not on FaceBook or FoodGawker or my online calendar or downloading photos. All I can do is catch a steal some time on others' computers and keep posting here.
I am really grateful I spent time drafting blog posts for Vegan MoFo or I would just have to bow out gracefully. As it is I have enough drafts to keep me going a while and to hope my computer might get fixed. I had thought it was a battery charging problem but now I think it might be a dodgy charging cord problem. Still searching!
Meanwhile I can share this Green Smoothie Bowl. Once I tried my first smoothie bowl recently I was taken with the idea of a green version. And I made one on a crazy day of baking for Vegan MoFo before running out the door in a rush without time to try the smoothie bowl. I left it in the fridge with toppings and had it when I returned a few hours later. It was really good. I imagine it would be particularly great cold like this in summer.
I loved the smoothie but it was quite light and not overly sweet. Afterwards I found two halves of a banana. Only then did it dawn on me that half a banana had been destined for the smoothie but overlooked in my hurry. I had also forgotten to buy kiwi fruit which I would have liked to include. I added the banana in the recipe below because I feel this would make the sort of smoothie I was after but you could make it without banana too. I would have liked a greener smoothie. Perhaps more greens would improve the colour. Quibbles aside, I was glad to try this and hope to return to the green smoothie bowl one day.

I'm glad you're still here even if your computer doesn't want you to be! The beautiful green of that bowl is really something - I hope there's a paint that colour!
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous looking smoothie bowl - it doesn’t look as though it suffered for lack of the banana. Sorry to hear about your computer - hope it is fixed soon.
