SteemitPhotoChallenge #44: Vegan Cayenne Chocolate Ice Cream Smoothie BowlssteemCreated with Sketch.

in steemitphotochallenge •  8 years ago 

One of my favorite things about summer is that it's high season for 

SMOOTHIE BOWLS!!!



dankness

It's like a sundae for breakfast! 


These are one of my specialties. @everlove calls me a Smoothie Queen, and I am happy to wear that crown! 👑

Smoothies/smoothie bowls are a delicious way to start the day off on the right foot with several servings of healthy fruit, and it's so simple to make enough to share! Fellas,  your sleep-over lady friends will totally swoon if you serve them one of these lovelies in the AM 😘  They are way, way easy and way, way impressive. 

To make one, simply pour your favorite smoothie recipe in a pretty bowl, sprinkle with fun toppings, and enjoy! 

This particular beauty is a yummy, cold, creamy VEGAN CAYENNE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM smoothie bowl:

  • Blend frozen bananas, chocolate almond milk, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper (feel free to leave it out if you prefer bland food). You can add a scoop of chocolate hemp powder or some such if you're into that stuff.
  • Pour in a pretty bowl.
  • Top with sliced bananas, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, hemp seeds, and a sprinkle of cayenne & pink Himalayan salt. Other tasty topping suggestions: cacao nibs, chia seeds, walnuts, dried dates, frozen blackberries, coconut flakes, fresh herbs like mint--the sky's the limit!




This photo is my entry to the Steemit Photo Challenge #44 -- muchas gracias a @jamtaylor y @berniesanders for hosting the world famous SPC for the Steemit community every week (now every other week) for almost a year!!! That's quite a lot of commitment and dedication. I love photography, I love Steemit, and I love community, so I appreciate your efforts to support all these things.

For anyone new to the platform, the SPC is an especially great way to jump in and get some exposure, and potentially rack up some STEEM!

After a month of lurking on Steemit, I was finally inspired to make my very first post as an entry to the SPC for architecture, way on back in August (or was it September?...) of 2016. And my post actually made a few SBD! Plus I got honorable mention for my entry!! It was very, very exciting, so the SPC holds a sweet spot in my little Steemit heart. 💛 So thank you very much @jamtaylor & @berniesanders

And thank you @gringalicious for being a regular and reliable contributor here on Steemit! Your yummy posts are quite beautiful--you are certainly a qualified judge for a food-themed photography challenge! I recommend following her blog for super delectable inspiration!



Steem On!

That looks really yummy. I am going to try it this weekend.

Awesome, I hope you enjoy every moment of making, eating, and potentially sharing it! Please let me know if you get creative and whip up something magical and inspired 😄

I will for sure. :3 Cheers

Absolute booster smoothie ! Combination of banana and choco is always a winner ! Love it

OoOoOoO yeaaaaaa!!!! Which reminds me, I could have suggested adding some peanut butter to the smoothie, because the only thing better than banana & chocolate is PEANUT BUTTER, banana & chocolate!!

That would be a killer! Your food combination is just amazing.

How do you keep making such healthy food look so good, when I do it it never looks as nice :(

I think it's a reflection of the energetics you bring to it, @moneybags...for example, I made this dish to share with someone I love, so it was a gift from me to them and I had all that sweet generosity behind it. Plus, I'm really excited about the food reality in the ecovillage @gardenofeden where I live--food is super high vibe and alive and truly nourishing, not to mention abundant and FREE! It's a real celebration for me.

And if I'm going to make some food, might as well take a few more moments to make it look pretty too. It's a fun way to express creativity too!

looks delicious. thanks for sharing

You're welcome, thanks for commenting @skrzypietz!

Can't wait to try this !! Looks really good

It was super yummy, @johndarcy1994!!! Frozen bananas are a key to awesome smoothies for me, they get really creamy and delicious. Fresh bananas are too slimy for my taste...

Awesome, hope you love it, @cryptodata! I think it really is just like ice cream, but super healthful!

I really love these cocktails. Often they are prepared, we understand a lot about healthy and wholesome food. The photography is stunning. Just want to try. Thanks for your publication. You are a real master cook.

and this is for you - treat

Wow, thanks for that treat, @singa! Now I'm virtually drunk :)

Excellent ice cream !! I like ice cream))

Me too! It's one of my favorite foods, so I'm super stoked to know a recipe that's a little more friendly for daily indulgence :)

I know a very good home-made ice cream recipe) I can share if you want

Sure, please do @kostiayatsuk!

I'll post a blog post for myself soon and do not miss it! Recipe is very good! This is not found .. Working in the kitchen you need many years to compare all the recipes and choose the best.
