Here in Australia, chilled mornings are reminding us the winter is just around the corner and summer is now in the past. We are now in Autumn and there is one thing I can never forget since I moved to my second motherland, Australia – seasonal produce!! Yes we all love them, don’t we? Crates in farmers markets are overflowing with fresh apples and root vegetables these days so why should not combine these two into a smoothie bowl with wintery spices? I thoroughly enjoy my smoothie bowls on weekends but ice-cold smoothie on a chilly morning does not sound very appetizing. So, I skipped frozen fruits for this smoothie & served at room temperature, making it a perfect Autumn/ Winter breakfast packed with flavour and nutrients.
