Chunkie smoothie

I know, it sounds like a contradiction, but bear with me...

I have never been one for smoothies, I find them too heavy. Add more liquid I hear you say. I could, I guess. But it wouldn't be a smoothie anymore, it would be a more of a drink, wouldn't it?

Plus the blending & the cleaning of the blending equipment... oh, don't get me started!

So today I decided to have a chunkie smoothie instead:

Grab whatever fruit, dried fruit &/or nuts are at your disposal, peel them, chop them, etc. into a bowl, pour a yoghurt & honey to your  taste & enjoy.

Easy, healthy, quick & .... yummie for breakfast or dessert !!!!
