WIAW - On a Tuesday


This weeks What-I-Ate-Wednesday post happens to be about what I ate on Tuesday.

Mainly because I have wanted to share this 'yogurt' recipe for sometime and doing it this way actually prompted me to get motivated to do it!

But first..... here's what I ate yesterday:
Pawpaw yogurt with oats, flax and passionfruit for breakfast.
     Roasted sweet potato with refried beans and salsa, and kale chips for lunch.
            Spinach noodle and shiitake mushroom peanut stir-fry for dinner.


Paw Paw Yogurt

In a blender combine:
1 cup frozen paw paw pieces
1/3 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tablespoon probiotic
1/2 cup plant milk (more or less depending on your blender)

Blend til smooth and thick.
Serve straight away.

There is something about the tang of the raspberries mixed with the creaminess of the paw paw that makes this so similar to yogurt!


I'm not a huge fan of pawpaw by itself, though it does bring back fond memories of my grandmother! She used to serve us pawpaw for dessert when we stayed over in the school holidays.
I must admit that most people I ask say that pawpaw is not their favourite taste. 
Thankfully, in this recipe you can't really taste the pawpaw itself! 

Question of the day:
Do you like pawpaw?
If so, what is your favourite way to serve it?

Another great smoothie

For a tasty and colourful smoothie try blending:
Paw-paw, raspberries, maple syrup, and soy milk
I like a ratio of bout 3:1 pawpaw to raspberries so it's not too tart. Add as much soy mik as you like  depending on how thick or thin you like your smoothies to be.
