I love smoothies because they are healthy, convenient and portable. They are ideal fuel and perfect on-the-go all in one breakfast, a tasty afternoon snack or healthy dessert. I also love experimenting and trying different mixes for my smoothies. I was delighted when the team at So Fresh Neighbourhood market in Ikoyi sent me a bowl of a new addition to their menu: Chia Tropical Bowl
It is a smoothie made from Blueberries, Mango, Frozen Banana, Sweet pear, Low fat unsweetened yogurt, Chia seeds and topped with Banana and kiwi slices
I love mangoes and so anything that has mango has my vote already. The added chia seeds helps you stay fuller for longer so it definitely can be a meal replacement. I am not a big fan of banana slices on smoothies so personally I will replace the toppings to maybe Mango? Yes I know I love my mangoes.
Portion wise, it is a rather large bowl. I couldn’t finish it and so I froze half of it and had it the next morning at work for breakfast. It tasted like ice cream and my colleagues and I couldn’t get enough of it.
A good improvement would be to know what the estimated amount of calories per portion. This helps those of us that like to estimate our daily calorie intake. Other than that, this product is very healthy and a good frozen treat or dessert for sweet lovers. Other flavours are available and I love that there is a variety.
One lucky reader based in Lagos stands a chance to win this delicious bowl of goodness!
