How to make a Rhubarb and Ginger Smoothie Bowl

I’ve created a Rhubarb and Ginger Smoothie Bowl using raw rhubarb, preserved ginger and cashew nuts as the main ingredients. It is not too sweet so makes a delicious breakfast, it’s not too tart either so you can serve it as a fresh and fruity dessert.

Perfect Rhubarb Colour

A little word about my magic Rhubarb and Ginger Smoothie Bowl colour boost.  I think about recipes at the strangest of times, often mulling over ingredients and ideas just before I go to sleep.  

I already had the idea of making a Rhubarb and Ginger Smoothie Bowl but was concerned about how I was going to make it look attractive.  Rhubarb has lovely rich pinky-red coloured stems.

However, sometimes the green colour of the inside of the stem overpowers the red and you end up with something in a not very tempting khaki colour!

Beetroot Powder

I was lying in bed reluctantly considering using a drop of red food colouring when I remembered the little pot of Steenbergs Organic Beetroot Powder that I had in my store cupboard.

The beetroot powder is absolutely the perfect pinky-red to complement the rhubarb, doesn’t add any detectable beetroot flavour.  It completely disappears into the smoothie bowl mixture leaving only its glorious colour.

The Rhubarb and Ginger Smoothie Bowl makes a delicious dessert . Serve in small glasses and topped with the toasted almonds and sesame seeds and a couple of pieces of roasted rhubarb.

Ingredients

 

• 250 g rhubarb finely chopped

• 25 g toasted sesame seeds
• 3 slim stalks of rhubarb roasted with 1 tbsp of caster sugar

Instructions

 

• Place the chopped rhubarb and ginger in a bowl with the ginger syrup and leave overnight.
• Place the cashew nuts in a bowl and cover with water, leave overnight, rinse before using.
• Add all the ingredients and pulse until they start to break down, pushing down with a spatula if necessary, continue to blend until thick and smooth.
• Pour the smoothie into two bowls or 4 glasses, leave to thicken for about 10-15 minutes.

Top with toasted almonds, sesame seeds and roasted rhubarb..

Notes

To toast the almonds and sesame seeds: heat a frying pan (no oil) to a medium-high heat and put the nuts or seeds into the pan, stir occasionally and watch carefully until they take on a little tinge of brown.

To roast the rhubarb: heat the oven to 170C, chop the rhubarb into even sized pieces and place on a baking tray in a single layer. Sprinkle with the sugar and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until they still hold their shape, but are soft enough for a knife to be inserted easily. Leave to cool on the tray.
