20 September, 2022 . 0

This breakfast smoothie bowl with pumpkin and mango might seem like an odd combination — but just wait until you try it!

Ingredients

40g buckwheat
400g pumpkin flesh
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 mangos
2 bananas
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
200ml almond milk
2 figs
30g cashew nuts
1 tsp flower pollen

Method

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Step 2.
Soak the buckwheat in lukewarm water for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the pumpkin flesh into pieces, mix with the oil in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. Leave to cool.

Step 3.
Peel the mangos, remove the flesh from the stone and cut into rough pieces. Peel the bananas and cut into slices.

Step 4.
Put the pumpkin in a blender with half the mango, the bananas, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon. Add the almond milk and purée until smooth and creamy. Divide between four bowls.

Step 5.
Slice the figs and arrange on top with the remaining mango. Drain the buckwheat and sprinkle over the bowls with the cashews and flower pollen to serve.

Serves 4.
