Smoothie bowls are not something I completely understand. Cafes and instagrammers are going wild for them, but why would I put a drink in a bowl and eat it with a spoon, why don’t you just serve it with a straw? Sigh, perhaps I’m just getting old and out of touch with the young folk! 

After I asked this on instagram, it seems that it’s to provide more surface area for extra toppings such a fruit, granola or whatever else tickles your fancy. Whilst they are more instagrammable, I’m old fashioned and still prefer mine in a cup/jar, with a straw. 

This recipe created for Prahran Market as part of #theAteam, and when I received dragon fruit in the March mystery box.
