OCEAN BLUE MINTY BOWLS
This smoothie/healthy ice-cream recipe is definitely up there in my top 5 favourites. I love this one because it is so super light and refreshing and it always leaves me feeling energised too! So what's not to love ?
I love this one before a hard running session as it doesn't leave me feeling heavy or weighed down at all. I have said before that I wouldn't really have a big bowl of oats or toast or anything that doesn't digest very quickly in the morning if I know that I am doing a hard running session. Especially if I don't have a huge amount of time to "rest and digest" before my session. I can pretty much eat anything before any other sport, but for running I always like to play it safe. So a pre-run brekkie that is perfect for me is definitely a refreshing, fruity smoothie bowl :-)
