Avocado pasta

27th June 2019 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

It’s no surprise that avocado is my favourite fruit. If you know me, you know that I eat at least two a day. They taste delicious and they are so good for you too (you can read more about the health benefits of avocados here).

Anyway, I also like pasta. I mean, you guys know I’m all about the carbs. Combine the two together and ta-dah! Here comes one of my favourite dishes – avocado pasta, yay!

Mixed with flavoursome pesto, edamame beans and peas, served with spicy roasted cherry tomatoes and sweet coconut yoghurt, this simple pasta dish is to die for. Let’s do this! This is comfort food at its finest.

AD | This “Raffaello” inspired almond coconut AD | This “Raffaello” inspired almond coconut smoothie bowl is an absolute must! It’s vegan, gluten-free and oh so delicious! 🥥  What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make. As a new mum I find it hard to find the time to make nutritious meals so the idea of chucking everything into a blender to make a delicious meal is really appealing.  Thanks to the frozen bananas this smoothie bowl is basically a bowl of soft scoop ice cream. It’s a balanced recipe that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. The new Protein Drink Mix - Vegan from @herbalifeuk not only adds to the flavour but it’s also high in protein, contains 22 vitamins and minerals AND it’s gluten-free and sugar-free!
For the smoothie:
• 1.5 servings (42g) Herbalife Nutrition Protein Drink Mix - Vegan (Vanilla flavour)
• 1 frozen green banana (using ripe bananas will alter the flavour)
• 50ml coconut drink + 100ml water (adding more if you need)
• 1.5 tbsp desiccated coconut
Toppings:
• 8 whole almonds
• 1 tbsp flaked almonds
• 1 tbsp desiccated coconut
• 1⁄2 tbsp almond butter
• vegan white chocolate chunks
Method:
Place all of the smoothie ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth, for around 30-60
seconds.
Transfer into a bowl and decorate with whole and flaked almonds, desiccated coconut and white choc chunks before drizzling with the almond butter.  #smoothiebowl #coconut #raffaello #smoothie #protein #proteinsmoothie #proteinshake #vegan #veganuk #veganfood #veganrecipes #vegandietmealplan #veganbreakfast #vegansnacks #foodphotography #foodstylist #foodstagram #veganprotein #veganuary #veganlife #friendsnotfood
