Fruitful Pear-Beetroot Smoothie Bowl

Best For An Occasional Breakfast

This smoothie bowl provides you with just pure, clean oxygen powered energy which makes it the perfect post-workout breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 2,

MAKES 700 ml

• 2 frozen bananas
• 3 chopped soft pears*
• ½ cup chopped beetroot
• Any seasonal fruits and nuts for topping

Substitution In case pear is not available, use soft apples

PRE-PREPARATION

Take the bananas, peel, slice and put in the freezer for about 6 hours.

Method

1. Place the pears, beetroot and frozen bananas in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour this smoothie base into bowls, and top with any fresh seasonal fruits and nuts. I used papaya, chikoo, kiwi, coconut, pumpkin seeds, goji berries and chia seeds.
• Tip Nuts and seeds are great to add texture to your bowl, but eat them minimally as they are water-poor in nature. Focus on fresh, water-rich fruits for your topping.
• Tip Don’t forget to freeze your bananas. They are key to achieving a good texture for your smoothie base.
• Tip Make sure you use the soft variety of pears. They should sink in a little when pressed with your thumb.

Benefits:

  • Provides a burst of natural energy from the combination of fruits.
  • Beetroot adds antioxidants and may support detoxification and immune health.
  • Pears offer fiber and vitamins for digestive and overall health.
  • Toppings like papaya, kiwi, and chia seeds contribute additional vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
  • Pumpkin seeds and goji berries provide protein and essential nutrients for a satisfying and nourishing meal.
