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.


Of course, you can make your smoothie with simple fruits, your choice of milk or yogurt and that’s it. Whenever I make a smoothie, I fell like this is the perfect opportunity to sneak in some extra boosters and vitamins. At the moment chia seeds and flax seed meal are my favorite things to pimp my smoothie with.
Did you know that both of them are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, B complex vitamins, calcium, manganese, magnesium and fibre? Further, these little helpers  are great prebiotics and nourish our good gut bacteria. I was quite impressed as I learned that they are one of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, developing anti-inflammatory properties.
