nutrient dense, healthy acai smoothie bowl

Acai smoothie bowl for breakfast

We all know that antioxidants keep us healthy and we should aim to eat as much of them as possible. You know that, right? Here I show you a mega-yummy breakfast bowl containing the superfood acai berry, which has record amount of antioxidants (twice as much as blueberries) in it. To make this acai smoothie bowl even healthier, I added other ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and healthy fats too. It is a really energizing breakfast that will make you glow 😉

So what is this acai berry? It comes from Brasil, it contains a good amount of vitamin A and C, a lot of fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, zink, magnesium and omega 6 – 9 fatty acids. It is, as most of the berries, a very low calorie fruit. You can sometimes find it frozen in health food shops but much easier to get hold of it in juice or powder form. In this recipe I used a powder. Most of the powders are produced by lyophilization (freeze drying), this way the useful ingredients are preserved.

It is well known that banana makes our smoothies nice and creamy. It is also rich in fiber (no more problem in the loo) and contains tryptophan, which turns into serotonin, our happy hormone, in the body! Do we need more? Ok, maybe some healthy fats would be nice too. That we get from the walnuts and flaxseed. As a bonus, they also make the smoothie creamy and they contain protein as well.

As we know from the equation of healthy eating, leave greens are the healthiest foods in the world. In the form of spinach we have some of them in this smoothies as well. You will not taste it, I promise!

Lemon chia pudding with dates recipe

Refreshing, omega 3 fatty acid and vitamin C rich, quick breakfast

The base of this lemon chia pudding are chia seeds that soak up liquids and create a pudding like yummyness.  This lemon chia pudding is a lovely, refreshing and satiating breakfast. I used sweet gooey dates to sweeten the pudding instead of sugar. The recipe is incredibly easy. You just mix everything together and wait until the mixture reaches the desired pudding like thickness.

Chia seeds are incredibly healthy, they contain plant protein, fibre, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium and iron. The lemon alkalizes our body and provides vitamin C, while the iron rich, sweet, almost caramel tasting dates balance the tartness of the lemon.

I had a Matcha tea with my pudding. Matcha tee is a Japanese green tea which is a great option instead of coffee. I don’t drink coffee since years. During my pregnancies I developed and aversion to the smell and taste of coffee and I still don’t feel like starting to drink it again, therefore I wake myself up with various teas in the morning. They keep me alert for longer and I also don’t have the bad aftertaste and smell in my mouth that I had after drinking coffee.

Let’s see how to make this yummy chia pudding.
