They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and with good reason. What you eat in the morning sets the tone for the rest of your meals for the day and oddly, more than anything, it has a big effect on your morning mood. The nutrition you get first thing in the morning kick starts your body and ensures that it's running well the rest of the day. So, of course, it makes sense to pay more attention to what you're eating for breakfast, as opposed to running out of the door with a single buttered toast in your hands. A healthier, more balanced breakfast is what our bodies crave and it's about time we give it to them.
We've all tried the various alternatives of avocado toast and for most of us, the tried and tested cereal or muesli is the safest option. But we think it's time to try a smoothie bowl. Almost like a bowl of cereal on (the healthiest ever) steroids, a smoothie bowl is basically a smoothie you can eat with a spoon. It's made with, quite literally, whatever frozen (using them frozen is key to the texture) fruits or vegetables suit your taste buds, milk (mostly almond or soy, but you can use regular too), and nuts, seeds, granola and more fruits to top it all off.
Undoubtedly one of the most Instagrammable foods ever, a smoothie bowl packs a punch of nutrients that is perfect to get you through the day. Plus, it's SO beautiful-looking that all your morning grumpiness will just get washed away. If you don't already feel like trying it, these pictures might help. (While some of them might look too elaborate and beautiful to eat, remember you don't have to go overboard, it's all going to end up in your tummy anyway!)
Gooooood morning ??? . . I was laying in bed today wondering what to have for breakfast, and realised it's been a while since I made some blue nicecream...so got up and made myself this ? . It's literally just frozen bananas blended with some @e3liveaustralia blueMajik powder, and a tiny bit of wAter to help it blend ☺️ topped with lillipillies, quinoa puffs, blueberries and edible flowers! . Hope you're all having a fabulous start to the week! ?✨? . . #vegan #veganfood #breakfast #bluefood #nicecream #foodstyling #vegetarian #healthy

Fersken-banan smoothie bowl med blå spirulina ? Jeg skal helt sikkert i gang med at eksperimentere endnu mere med den blå farve. Du kan købe blå spirulina hos @greengoddessguide der i øvrigt også forhandler min kogebog Vegansk ?

Hello everyone!!! So I had lots of chokeberries (aronia) left and decided Aronia Smoothie was what I needed to start my morning. Yum yum... Fun facts about Aronia: Loaded with antioxidants (quercetine, carotene...) Boost immunity Help digestion And much more more Today's Smoothie Bowl: Aronia and Banana Smoothie. Here's the recipe: 1 banana, 1 cup of frozen Aronia 1/2 cup of rice milk Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Serve in a bowl with 1/2 sliced banana, chia seeds, and gluten free mini brownies. DELICIOUS ?

Looking for some mid week breakfast inspo? New on the blog today is a continuation of the chocolate avocado theme from a couple of week’s ago ??. I’ve shared one of my favourite smoothies bowl recipes - a chocolate avocado smoothie bowl. Honestly, it tastes incredible and the texture is so dreamy. It's another #wastenotwantnot creation and it literally takes minutes to make so you’ve really got to give it a go. Link in my bio! ? #mylifeisforliving
