And for my little addition, I have an Avocado Smoothie Bowl with Cashew Cream!

Are you confused by the fact that a smoothie is in a BOWL? Fear not, so was the Hubanana. The conversation went a little something like this:

Hubs: “Whatcha making?”

Taylor: “An avocado smoothie bowl.”

Hubs: “What? A bowl? Am I supposed to start eating my homemade cereal recipe off a plate?”

Clearly, he doesn’t understand me like you guys do. Should I be worried?

Don’t answer that.

HOW-EV-ER, then I sat down to eat said bowl of SUPA thick, creamy and oh-my-gosh-so-pretty-because-anything-with-pomegranates-can-instantly-win-the-Miss-America-for-food-pageant-amIright? Avocado Smoothie bowl goodness and I could tell he wanted some.

You know when you think something is kinda weird so you get all down on it, but then you see it being eaten and you kinda sorta want some so you pull the ol’ “How does it taste?” “is it good?” and start asking hinting questions so that maybe you’ll be offered a bite?

Yea. That started happening.

SO, I made him one, spent all the time swirling the cashew cream to pretty perfection, and making a heart of love and cuteness out of the pomegranate seeds (I might be lying about the last part though. This girl don’t have time for that) and placed it in front of him.

You know what he did? Took his spoon and just mixed it ALL AROUND without even tasting the layers of nuttiness in the swirly cashew cream, combined with the thick and creamy, banana sweetened goodness from the smoothie.

A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G

Either way. Considering his dinner the night before was paleo chocolate chip cookies and a cinnamon rolls recipe, I was just happy to get some superfood in his body.

Now. I’ve been trying to ignore the elephant in the smoothie for the past 375 words, but I know you want to discuss it. I know that you think it’s weird that there’s avocado.

In a smoothie. A avocado smoothie that it’s in a bowl.

So much WHATTHEWHAT going on here.

But, I’m just asking you to trust me when I say that the amount of creaminess that it adds to this bowl of proteiny-superfoody-good-fo’-yo’-body-bowl is OUT OF CONTROL.

I pinky promise.

Of course if you are still freaking out, just go make this banana split vegan smoothie bowl.

And my toes aren’t even crossed.
