I love smoothies!
I have not made many recently due to several reasons. Every time I plan to make an avocado smoothie, it turns out these avocados have gone bad before I could blink my eyes. Which is so annoying and I should get back my money but to deal with another round of customer service for these 2 euros is usually not really worth my time. Especially not the past weeks when I already didn't have enough time in general. I gave up on the avocado smoothies this week after I found another batch of 3 rotten avocados waiting for me while the other 2 were not even ripe enough to cut (so I discovered). It's so annoying especially when I see these avocados are not from the same tree because they are different sorts.
Long live bananas!
Where sometimes other veggies and fruits let me down when I need them at a certain moment, bananas are always around to save the day!
Even those that are already black on the outside are useful as I will turn them into a loaf of delicious banana bread. I bought these new smoothie glasses a week ago and I was looking forward to making an avocado/banana smoothie when the avocados let me down. I decided to keep it simple that day, just banana, milk, and cinnamon it is. Simply delicious! I love how the picture of a smoothie is much cooler with these glasses, I find them quite convenient! Let's hope it will inspire me to make more smoothies!
Strawberries!
Lately, we have been so lucky to find the most delicious strawberries for just under or above one euro for half a kilo. It makes me think back to our arrival in Spain at the end of May last year when we went to the supermarket for the first time and I found a portion of extremely good strawberries for just €1,50 which blew my mind after paying much more in Budapest the years before. I quickly found out that here you find a lot more very good fruit and veggies when it's their season, sometimes just a short period but there is a period of good quality stuff for everything so it seems, and often a lot cheaper than in Budapest.
The past two weeks or so we've been bumping on a lot of good batches of strawberries but we have to buy them in time because they seem to sell quickly and once there are just a few ones left in the supermarket, you see they already sold all the good ones and then we won't buy them. Today nothing was left, so hopefully we find some good ones on the weekend. I'd love to have a good strawberry smoothie again, it's been a long time!
