After doing three busy night shifts in a row, I must confess, I was exhausted. My legs felt numb, my feet and heels sore from the long hours of standing. On getting home at about 08:20am, I was starving and extremely dehydrated. The last time I had anything to drink was at about 04:00am-ish.
Anyways, I got home and there was nothing fancy in the fridge (I ate all the cooked food from doing previous night shifts). I opened my freezer and all I saw were frozen fruits, sweet bell peppers and other random food items. “Think Patricia, think”, i told myself. Should I go to bed hungry or sort out something quick. I spent about three minutes staring at the open freezer lost in thought and only remembered it was opened when the freezer alarm came on.
Suddenly, it clicked- “Smoothie bowl”. I never tried one before, I drink smoothies in a cup but never in a bowl. I also recalled receiving some coconut bowls a few days back. What a perfect coincidence!!
Here is what I made.
SIMPLE MIXED BERRY AND COCONUT MILK SMOOTHIE
1 frozen banana
1 1/2 cup of frozen mixed berries
3/4 cup of coconut milk
TOPPINGS
Fresh kiwi
Fresh raspberries
Unsweetened desiccated coconut
Raisins and Sultanas
Milled linseed.
And I slept like a baby.....
