Green Smoothie bowls are a regular visitor to my breakfast table (who am I kidding, there is no table in this equation, I eat breakfast standing up in the kitchen as I prep for shoots, or sitting at my desk while editing photos... but that's another story altogether). Not only do I quite enjoy them but they're a great way to get a huge quantity of veg into the start of the day -- and eating a green smoothie with a spoon instead of drinking it from a glass serves a dual purpose. If the … [Read more...]
Beetroot & Berry Smoothie Bowl
You can hear the detractors arc up as soon as a pretty photo crosses the screens of their phones, "smoothie bowls are so over-done, so trendy, only good for pretty Instagram pictures!". They it yell loudly and repeatedly (because they quite obviously have nothing better to do, or perhaps have been pushed over the edge by one too many failed avocado rose attempts), and fixate on to the next so-called trend. However I, brandishing a spoon like a sword, am here to stand up and say, "who cares, … [Read more...]
Vegan Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
One day in late June... J: I just want to run away from it all R: . . . R: *raises eyebrow* J: oh, with you of course R: so when should we leave? Sometimes, in lieu of an immediate departure from the daily grind, chocolate for breakfast is the only solution. No judgement if you make it again and call it dessert. … [Read more...]
Prep.Prop.Style.Shoot: Snapshots from Breakfast plus a Pineapple & Kiwi Green Smoothie
When a chef, one who runs a holiday property in the country none the less, emails to ask if you want to come down to Tasmania to teach a two-day food photography and styling workshop, the only possible answer is yes. When she mentions that she'll do all the cooking, talks about stringing fairy lights through the trees for dinner and sends you photos of a possible picnic location at the end of a pier you know it's meant to be. And so it was that I found myself, a mere month after that … [Read more...]
Blueberry Coconut Smoothie Bowl
The pace of life since we got back from Japan has been hectic at best and, while I'm not complaining about days filled with shooting food for everyone else, I haven't made anything for this little corner of the internet since those Hot Cross Buns. But I figure a new As Seen on Instagram recipe is still a recipe, and one pulled together from a nearly empty fridge and a few freezer staples is a winner in my book. You see, for as brilliant as our trip was we still spent two weeks eating far … [Read more...]
Summer Fruit Platter Smoothie
Ok, ok, so you're probably not going to make a fruit platter for the sole purpose of throwing it all in a blender. BUT if you were to make a fruit platter for a bbq and end up with leftovers once the festivities ended, throwing it all in a blender the next day would be the perfect solution to reclaiming your fridge shelf back. That said, 'Leftover Fruit Platter Smoothie' didn't quite have the same ring to it, so 'Summer' won. On the other hand if you had a crowd for breakfast … [Read more...]
Berry Banana Smoothie, a Dairy-free & Vegan Guest Post
After months of watching other people head off on holidays, RJ and I are finally taking a break and making our way through America-land for a few weeks. In my absence the lovely Claire is here to ply you with treats. You may remember Claire from a few months back when I guest posted over on her site - she was one of those aforementioned holidaying people - and it's great to have her here. Thanks again! (Oh, and if you want to follow our eating adventure holiday, Instagram is probably … [Read more...]
