Sometimes I really don't feel like cooking my meals. There comes smoothie bowls to my escape. They are so easy to make, highly nutritive and light on stomach. What else you could ask for?I simply chop my fruits, froze them for 2 or more hours (frozen fruits give creamy smoothie texture) and blend. This particular smoothie I made with banana and papaya, added turmeric & cinnamon because of it's numerous benefits and garnished it with whatever came handy first.I really enjoy my chilled smoothies during summers as breakfast mostly. What about you?#nonindian

This is a filling and nutritional smoothie. I love this smoothie. I got the idea from trying different recipes and finally came up with this one.

BEST CHILLED THE FRUITSAND USE ONLY RIPE PAPAYA AND MANGO FOR ITS NATURAL SWEETNESS

This is a really delicious and filling breakfast smoothie, one to try if you're a fan of more exotic flavours.A few weeks back, I finally took the plunge and ordered a NutriBullet. After seeing so many tempting instagram snaps and Pinterest recipes, I couldn't resist. About the same time, the Almond Board of California got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to take their 21-day Snack Happy Challenge (http://www.almonds.co.uk/snack-happy-challenge). The stars had aligned perfectly.I've been snacking on a handful of almonds every day this month, and including them in my favourite smoothie recipes.Why almonds?• A handful of almonds (30g) provide approximately 65% of your daily requirement of vitamin E.• Almonds are a high source of fibre, are packed with healthy, unsaturated fats and are a natural source of protein.• Almonds are rich in calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.• Almonds are a high source of magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.• Almonds provide linoleic acid, which contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.• Just a handful of these noble nuts is all you need to up your daily nutrient intake. Pop them in your handbag to snack on-the-go in your moments of need.

The extra smoothie mix can be saved for another recipe or made into a frozen treat. I added more water to my mixture then made a licuado by sifting the liquid into a pitcher. The color is AMAZING!!!!

A deliciously sweet concoction with tons of vitamins A and C and six grams of fiber!
