Dylan’s Smoothie Bowl
Tonight, after finishing up my work, I decided to whip up a quick and easy smoothie bowl for my neighbor. I used a cup of pineapple, approximately half a cup of cherries (which was all I had left), the juice of one lime, and about a quarter cup of coconut milk.
The result was absolutely amazing! The blend of tropical flavors was delicious, and I couldn’t help but wish I had enough cherries to make a second bowl. It’s always great to share something tasty with others, and this smoothie bowl was a fun treat!
Note: He did add a few freeze-dried banana slices to his smoothie bowl, but he mixed it all together.
