How to make a nutritious smoothiebowl?
One thing we all know from Instagram is that smoothie bowls have become of the biggest breakfast trends out there. You see them in any color, variations, always packed with nutritious fruits and superfoods. In todays post, I like to show you have to make an absolutely delicious, nutritious smoothie bowl.  This version with berries and banana and some superpower (more below) tastes like something so sinful and sweet it’s hard to believe it’s actually super healthy. Definitely a win breakfast for me.

Super Creamy Chocoholic Smoothie Bowl
I bet a lot of you are drinking smoothies. I mean why not? They are amazing and truly good for you! I have some friends who are not really into smoothies as they think they taste “too healthy”.
WELL, they never made a SUPER CREAMY CHOCOHOLIC SMOOTHIE BOWL
this smoothie bowl is a fusion between a super healthy nutritious smoothie and the flavor of the most sinful chocolate cake.
…
Smooth Cashew-Coconut Vanilla Cream
Sometimes I get tired of soy yogurt in my breakfast and therefore, I thought about doing a little coconut-cashew vanilla infused cream. The cream is perfectly combinable with smoothies or chia pudding.
Itâs really, stupid easy. I mean, there are only 4 ingredients and it takes like 4Â minutes.

Vibrant Pink Smoothie Bowl
Â
I sometimes like to experiment with smoothies, but I must confess that most of the time I am very traditional when it comes to smoothies and I am sticking to my vibrant pink smoothie.
Now during winter, I feel like I need a little bit more than “just” a smoothie.
A smoothie bowl combines the best of three worlds.
Smoothie
Fruits
Granola (or Rawnola)
…

Nourish yourself with antioxidant-packed smoothies that even taste better than they look! This Purple Corn smoothie delivers an epic dose of health-promoting antioxidants thanks to the purple corn and the blueberries.

How to make an Acai bowl?
I clearly remember the first time, I heard about this Acai bowl thingy two years ago.
And it was only 3 months ago when I actually learned how to pronounce it.  {a,sa’i}
Since then I have tried a lot of Acai bowl in all different variations and in different places. Some at restaurants, cafes or at home. It is such a simple way to get in a lot of vitamins and nutrients already for breakfast. Topped with fresh fruits and Rawnola, this is a bomb bowl filled with all the good things your body and mind is looking for.
…
Banana Berry Smoothie with crunchy rawnola
Let me introduce you to this easy vegan banana berry smoothie that will even surprise non-vegans:
Banana Berry Smoothie, layered jar with quinoa and topped with crunchy rawnola
Not that this breaky is 100% sugarfree it also gives you all the nutrients you need to get through the day. I love smoothies but sometimes I need something more that fills me up in the morning. So in this jar, I pimped a normal smoothie with puffed Quinoa and crunchy rawnola. Sometimes when I feel like, I add some superfoods to my smoothies, like Maca powder, Baobab or Spirulina. Read more about superfoods below and have a look at the recipe after you have take a look at the Smoothie when it fell….
For the smoothie you need:
Ingredients
2 bananas (ripe and frozen)
raspberries (frozen or fresh)
1 small splash of almond milk
1/4 tbsp cinnamon
stevia (I usually use two small tabs, but there is also liquid or powdered stevia available)
(any other sweetener works at well, and if you don’t have any don’t worry the bananas are already sweet like candy ð
Optional: Maca powder (the best maca powder is from Organicburst
About superfoods
People often ask me what superfoods I use and why I use them and whether it is necessary.
I think I first got in touch with superfoods when I heard about Maca powder. I also remember that I had no clue that it is different to Matcha powder. wuups…Well, during the last months I learned a lot more about superfoods and I like to show you what kinds of I currently use and like the most.
My favorite at the moment is Acai powder. This is due to the reason that I really enjoy the taste and second it gives me some of the nutrients I really need as a vegan 27 years old girl. According to the HealthysmoothieHQ, Acai berries contain a nearly complete protein profile. A complete protein is one that contains all of the amino acids, or building blocks of protein, that your body cannot manufacture on its own. Foods with a complete protein profile include meat, dairy, and soy. Acai has nearly all of the necessary amino acids and its protein profile is more complete than most fruits.
So thumbs up for Acai smoothies, bowls and Nicecreams!
Other superfoods I use, are as mentioned above Maca powder as well as Baobab powder. Their taste is really earthy and the Baobab has a sweet note which combines nicely with Carob powder in a nicecream.
Superfoods I use for shots or just in small amounts are Spirulina, Chlorella and Wheatgras. They have amazing health benefits but I think sometimes it is hard to combine them due to their let’s say rather unusual/not chocolaty flavor ð
I think it is worth to include superfoods such as mentioned above in your diet. Of course this foods are expensive but it is something worth investing in. And you don’t need them daily! Just here and there, sneak them in your menu and feel the power coming from inside.
Raspberry Smoothie with healthy carob sauce
First time I managed to do a tart and luscious raspberry smoothie with a heavenly carob sauce!
Still I cannot decide: Is it really better than chocolate sauce.
As you know I’m a chocolate lover. Sometimes I feel like I am the only person, who craves chocolate twice or multiple times a day? How can people even just eat one piece of chocolate? Good thing, I don’t really like other sweets (candy, store-bought sweets, nut pies)
So to be honest: When you love chocolate, it’s hard to find a replacement with the same flavor and consistency. Making a carob sauce instead of chocolate sauce is a good alternative and the closest thing I could find when it comes to chocolate.
By doing some research about carob I found that carob is naturally sweet, low in fat and further high in fiber. Traditionally, it was used to soothe an upset stomach and this is why I got it back on the plate when I had this annoying stomach flu. Further benefits of carob include:
1) Carob tannins contain Gallic acid that works as an analgesic, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral and antiseptic.
2) Carob improves digestion and lowers cholesterol level in the blood.
It is used for treating diarrhea in children and adults alike.
3) Since it does not contain caffeine, carob benefits people with high blood pressure.
4) Regular use of carob helps in preventing lung cancer.
5) The vitamin E content in carob helps in treating cough, flu, anemia and osteoclasis.
6) The Gallic acid in carob helps in preventing and treating polio in children.
7) Carob fights against osteoporosis, due to its richness in phosphorus and calcium.

So, I usually pour sauce over my smoothie or Nana Icecream or yeah basically over everything:)
Since I feel like carob pairs up really well with raspberries, I made this combo!
I love the sweetness and freshness from the raspberries melting in with the herb “chocolaty” taste of the carob!
Don’t miss to try this recipe. It is simple, healthy, (can be made nut-free), vegan and sugar free!
Ingredients smoothie
1 Frozen Banana
1/2 Cup of Frozen Mango
1/2 Cup of Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
6 oz of almond milk (or a non-dairy nut free milk)
1/2 tsp fresh lemon zest
Blend all the ingredients for at least one minute in a blender. If you don’t have a strong blender I advise you to blend the bananas first and then add the rest of the ingredients. Or take the bananas out of the freezer and let them sit for some minutes.
Ingredients sauce
2 tbsp carob powder
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp warm water
In a mini bowl add all the ingredients and combine. If you like a more liquid texture as in my picture add the amount of water in the recipe. In case you fancy a more thick chocolate sauce just go with 1-2 tbsp of water. And one last thing. The smart brain sees that when compared with the picture there will be much more sauce. (After you took a pretty picture just pour ALL THAT SAUCE over the smoothie!)

Detox experience and the secret around a grey detox juice
With the first sun rays of spring I decided to do a little freshing up for my body and especially for my stomach
I had the juices from @privatdetoxbased. A company which is based in Geneva and has experienced friendly employees. Check out their homepage it is so nicely designed! You can also order there which is pretty convenient! The juices are then brought to your house and you can store them for the next three days.
I had some downs at afternoon the first day. I killed my head ache then with juice number 6 with almond milk vanilla and cinnamon. That juice is really the yummiest thing I have ever had!! Wish privatdetoxbox could just send me a present with white juices <3
After the second day I felt that my body is cleaning itself. I experienced short head aches that usually disappeared when I drank some herbal tea. On day 3 I woke up feeling really active and enthusiastic and had some food that was suggested from privatdetoxbox. I think part because I could do 2 days was because the juices really taste authentic and fresh. I also had a mental coach. Guess next time I would do the detox with a friend.  My last fav was the green one with cucumber. What I really missed during these days were my sweets and homemade chocolates. But know what? They tasted even better after the detoxing. It seems like you taste and smell food way more intensive than before!
Now there is a new juice called Greytox! it looks so grey and I was wondering what causes the grey color. What is the ingredient activated charcoal?
Activated charcoal was used to stave off the infection from the open wounds. Since then healers used it to soak up poisons and improve the intestinal health through the process of adsorption. âAdsorption is a process in which molecules move from a liquid, gas or solid phase onto a solid or liquid surfaceâ. Meaning the toxins and poisonous chemicals attach to the surface of the charcoal. The activated charcoal is composed of porous substances that are derived from a variety of materials containing natural organic carbon such as coal, charcoal, coconut charcoal and so on.
Detoxification
Toxins from the GMO processed foods, environmental pollution are the real problems of our everyday life. It is very important to help your body to eliminate toxins because they produce cellular damage, allergic reactions and rapid aging,
Adding the activated charcoal to your diet on regular basis can remove unwanted toxins leaving you feeling renewed. It also eliminates all the toxic heavy metals such as copper or mercury that are stored in our body âsometimes for years.
Purple Acai Bowl- Thriving on plants!
The ultimate power acai bowl for a great weekend! Fill the bowl with fruits and add all the great foods you love. Many asked where I ahve my Acai from. I usually buy it from Organicburst and you can get it here. Be careful there are a lot of fake products on the market! Better pay a little bit more but then you can be sure that you have a good quality product, that has inside what it promises outside.
I created a lot of recipes with Acai powder amongst many other superfood, plantbased recipes. Check it out—> EBOOK
Some great facts about Acai are:
- High ORAC Score. Acai has a high ORAC score of 70,000 (3x higher than goji and 10x higher blueberries). It is a source of polyphenols, the compounds that make it so purple. The darker the colour, the higher its levels of polyphenols.
- Our Acai is rich in essential fatty acids omega-3-6 and contains omega-9 oleic acid.
- Reduces Total and Non-HDL Cholesterol. Studies have shown supplementation with acai can reduce total and non-HDL cholesterol.
For the basic Acai bowl you need to blend:
2 frozen bananas
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 handful of raspberries
2 capsules of Acai powder (I use the ones from Organicburst, cause they are good quality)
