Method
To make the strawberry, raspberry and tahini smoothie bowl – the night before peel and slice one banana, place it in a pot and put it in the freezer, alternatively you can use 2 small fresh bananas, but freezing a banana makes it thicker and more nice-cream like.
In the morning remove the frozen banana from the freezer and tip it into a high powered blender, add the remaining smoothie ingredients and blend, start slowly and you may need to use the mixing tool. If the mix is very thick you made need to add a splash of liquid. Once the smoothie bowl mix is thick and smooth spoon into a bowl and enjoy adding a selection of the toppings, before tucking in.
