Smoothie Bowl Love

ALL THE LOVE FOR SMOOTHIE BOWLS
I've been really digging smoothie bowls recently. They're packed full of goodness, taste amazing and are great for getting those all important instagram likes, so I thought why not dedicate a blog post to them.

THE RECIPE
You can put basically anything in a smoothie bowl, but here is what I do most mornings to create mine...

• 1 banana
• 1 red apple, chopped (obvs, or it'll break your blender)
• Natural yoghurt, I usually put about tablespoon in, but I just pour it in until it looks about right
• Raspberries or blueberries, again just until you're happy with the amount

I chuck that all in my nutribullet, blend until smooth but still quite thick, and then it's ready.

THE TOPPING
My topping usually consists of a handful of granola, I have a super yummy one from Sainsburys that has raisins in which I love, and then whatever fruit I have leftover from the smoothie, which is normally just a few pieces of apple. I had some pieces of plum on top and in the smoothie once though and it was pretty damn delicious.

AVOCADO
I love avocados so much that I once stabbed myself in the hand cutting one and had to go to hospital to get my hand glued back together, and I was actually upset about the avocado going to waste. So obviously my love for avocados runs deep (you could say its in my blood... get it? Because I bled... okay, sorry) and because of that I want to try an avocado based smoothie bowl, but I don't really know where to start with that, like what else do I put in? If you know any yummy recipes, then let me know in the comments! Thank you <3

Thanks for reading, remember to follow me for weekly posts.

Have a rad day!

Dinner Time With Chloe

Chicken and Vegetable Stir-fry

THE FOOD
For dinner today I had a chicken and vegetable stir-fry. It was delicious and super healthy (I had a huge slice of Victoria Sponge in the afternoon, so y'know I was mostly just making up for that!) and I thought I'd share it with you because it was so easy to make.

YOU WILL NEED

• Chicken, cut into strips (totally optional, if you don't eat chicken then substitute it with something else, like more veggies, haha)
• Broccoli 
• Cauliflower 
• Baby corn
• Cherry tomatoes
• Half a can of chopped tomatoes 
• Olive oil
• (Obviously you can choose whatever vegetables you want, this is just want I had. And I'm probably never going to know if you use courgette instead of cauliflower, and even if I did I wouldn't care because courgette is delicious and would totally work here, so just do your thing.)

YO CHLOE, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

Begin by heating up a little bit of olive oil in a frying pan, and then add your chicken. Fry for about 5 minutes (it might be quicker or slower than this depending on your hob/stove, it's hard to tell because the hob at university is incredibly bad). 

Once the chicken is cooked through and just starting to brown add your veggies. I added the broccoli and cauliflower first as they take a bit longer to soften.  

Once the vegetables are tender (after about 5 minutes), add your chopped tomatoes and stir so that everything is covered. Wait for the chopped tomatoes to warm up (this only takes about a minute).

Serve! 

YOU CAN ALSO...

If you wanted you could add noodles, rice or even pasta to this and it would taste amazing. I was originally planning on using noodles but I forgot to buy them, but it would be delicious with noodles too! 

Also a little drizzle of soy sauce added at the same time at the chopped tomatoes would also be really nice, but again I didn't have soy sauce. 

I'M GOING TO EAT NOW

And that's it. As I said, it's so easy to make and takes less than 20 minutes, woooo! So thanks for reading. In the comments tell me what your favourite food is :)
