I am often posting photos of my smoothie bowl breakfasts on Instagram, so I've decided to share on the blog so I can elaborate on ingredients! I started playing around with my blender about a year ago, making the occasional banana/berry smoothie with spinach! Then my friend Melissa made me breakfast one morning and it was a smoothie bowl with gluten free muesli on top and it's been a love affair ever since!
I have spent time researching superfoods and also foods that are good/bad for rosacea. I no longer have banana, blueberries and spinach in my morning smoothie as they are rosacea triggers. Or cows milk in my chocolate/peanut butter smoothie! I think once you have the foundation of the smoothie you can put in foods that benefit you! Acai is always included, I use freeze dried and I have noticed a real glow in my skin since I started. I'm starting to introduce a lot of organic food into my diet so a lot of the ingredients are organic, I love Loving Earth and I use their goji berries, buckinis, camu camu powder, desiccated coconut and coconut oil.
