High-Fiber Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But let me be honest: I used to skip it some days because of busy and hectic mornings where eating was the last thing on my to-do list. Of course every time I did that, I paid the price later during the day: lack of energy, sugar cravings, irritability, bad mood… I finally realized that starting the day right had to become a priority no matter how busy life can get. So how do you manage to nourish your body with the right nutrients in a short window of time when you also have to take care of a baby and/or toddler? Here’s my trick: make a smoothie bowl. It’s a simple, delicious and nutritious breakfast, rich in essential vitamins and minerals to keep you energized in the morning… and ready in 5 minutes.
If you are not familiar with the concept of smoothie bowls, well, it’s basically a smoothie in a bowl topped with fruits, nuts, seeds or cereals. They’re ready in just a few minutes and make a nutritious, healthy, colorful and tasty breakfast.
