February has become very ‘love’ saturated in our family.  Not just because it so happens to be Valentine’s Day on the 14th!  
To set the scene, my husband and I were married on the 5th, my baby brother was just married THIS SATURDAY on the 11th (it was a beautiful wedding!), my littlest niece was born on the 15th and my brother was born on the 17th.  So much love floating around in February!
So I present you with this Lovely Lilac Smoothie Bowl, because well, love is nice, as are all things lovely!


Recipe (makes 1 hungry helping or two petite serves)
1 ripe banana (120g)
2/3 cup frozen blueberries, defrosted (80g)
½ an avocado (90g)
2/3 cup runny coconut milk or mylk
1 tsp pure vanilla essence
½ tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
OPTIONAL
1 ½ tsp maca powder (omit for AIP friendly)

Method
Place everything in your blender and blitz until well combined.
Pour into bowls and decorate as you please, I garnished mine with dried white mulberries, freeze dried raspberries, cacao nibs and edible pansies.
Enjoy!
