Alpro Coconut Range

By  | 

The Alpro coconut range I will say is one of my favourites!

If it’s got coconut in it, I’m there like a shot!

So I was delighted when I was asked by the Alpro PR team if I’d like to devise some recipes using their plant based alternatives.

I’m a huge Alpro fan and use it almost every day in my cooking and eating, especially smoothies

I decided that I’d like to create a couple of breakfast bowls and then go for a healthy treat!

Firstly I made some delicious homemade granola because I have a bit of an addiction!

It also tastes fabulous and adds a bit of crunchy texture to a smoothie bowl.
