Strawberry Kumquat Smoothie

After discovering my love for (my neighbor's) kumquats, I dreamt up this smoothie that brings back memories of Orange Julius and Creamsicles.

The portions above will make a classic smoothie consistency.  If you want to make a smoothie bowl like the top photo, cut the almond milk down to 1/2 cup.  I've layered the smoothie with chia seed pudding and topped with bee pollen, granola and shredded unsweetened coconut.
