Cherries Are Packed With Nutrients!

 
The sweet, tart taste of cherries is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of summer fruits. Overall, cherries are a great fruit to eat! In this recipe, I use frozen cherries, which are available all year round regardless of whether or not they are in season, which is only a short time here in the UK. 


This smoothie bowl is great as a breakfast, and no smoothie bowl is complete without its toppings, so I opted for chopped nuts and chocolate chips as I love the crunch, and the combination of cherries and chocolate is one of my favourites.


Smoothie bowls are a great way to get all the benefits of cherries and a healthy dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.


I opted for cherries in this recipe, as I know they are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. 


They are high in antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage. They are also a good source of potassium, which can help to regulate blood pressure. 


Cherries provide magnesium, which is essential for bone health. Cherries are also a good source of folate, which is vital for pregnant women. Cherries also provide anthocyanins, which can help to reduce inflammation.

15 Reasons Why Smoothie Bowls Are the Best Way to Start Your Day


A smoothie bowl is a perfect way to enjoy all of the benefits of fruit while losing weight and getting more nutrition.


Smoothie bowls are a great way to slow down and savour your food. They are also a great way to get more nutrients and vitamins since the smoothie is filling and doesn't require much chewing. 


However, drinking smoothies slowly is important as this releases enzymes in your salvia, which aid digestion and help assimilation of the nutrients. This is why I recommend smoothie bowls as opposed to smoothies, as you can use a spoon and enjoy the smoothie instead of drinking it down too quickly because it is yummy, a habit I've caught myself doing a few times. 


Smoothies are easy to make, all you need is a blender, and they can also be tailored to your own specific needs by the addition of certain superfoods which may aid you in healing any present health concerns. You can read more about this here.


Here are my top 15 benefits for smoothie bowls:


  1. Smoothie bowls are a great way to enjoy all fruit benefits without feeling weighed down.
  2. Smoothie bowls help you consume fewer calories.
  3. Smoothie bowls make it easier to consume more fruits and vegetables.
  4. Eating a bowl full of healthy ingredients is the best way to boost energy and stay healthy.
  5. Smoothie bowls are a great way to get more variety in your diet.
  6. Adding fruits to your diet is an easy way to boost your energy.
  7. Having a healthy breakfast sets you up for the rest of the day.
  8. Smoothie bowls can boost your energy and endurance for exercise.
  9. Smoothie bowls are a great way to lose weight.
  10. The antioxidants in fruits and vegetables help to fight inflammation and disease.
  11. Eating a smoothie bowl gives you the chance to get more fiber in your diet.
  12. Because they contain protein and healthy fats, smoothie bowls can help to keep you full for hours.
  13. Smoothie bowls are a great way to stay healthy and fit.
  14. Smoothies are high in vitamins and minerals that can protect you from cancer and heart disease.
  15. Smoothie bowls contain probiotics that can improve your digestive health.


Research continues to link processed sugars to weight gain and a long list of health issues like cancer, diabetes, and obesity—to name a few. If you're ready to kick the unhealthy sugar habit for good, here's how to reduce your cravings and create healthier habits moving forward!


To start, add more fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and vegetables to your diet; this is the basis of a whole food plant-based diet. Not only will these foods fill you up and help reduce cravings by providing you with naturally healthy complex carbohydrates instead of the simple processed sugars you're addicted to, but they'll also provide you with the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to thrive!


When it comes to smoothies, stick with healthier options like oat or almond milk instead of cows milk. If needed, boost your smoothie's sweetness with unsweetened cocoa powder, fruit, berries, and healthy sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit to adjust your taste buds. Then ditch added sweeteners altogether! Finally, consider mixing in some healthy fats like chia seeds, avocado, or nuts for extra health benefits!


By following these tips and including smoothie bowls in your day-to-day life, you can finally break the sugar habit and start living a healthier life!

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of a freshly brewed cup of coffee, is there? It’s a delicious and all-pervasive scent that we look forward to each and every day… but as much as we love the delightful coffee bean, it doesn’t always love us back in the same way and all too often we find ourselves feeling a little anxious and jittery, or even dealing with a few stomach cramps after sipping on our morning cup of Java Joe. So what alternatives are there that we can enjoy just as much as coffee, that will give us a bit of a kick we’re looking for first thing but which won’t give us any of the nasty potential side-effects that come with caffeine? Here are just a couple of ideas to help get you started with your new caffeine-free routine! Mushroom coffee If you don’t want to turn your back on your favourite beverage entirely, what about substituting it for mushroom coffee every now and again? This is somewhat similar in flavour to actual coffee since it’s just coffee with mushroom extract in it, so it could help you bridge the gap from caffeine enthusiast to caffeine-free. It even looks like your typical ground coffee beans, since the mushrooms have been dried and extracted to get all the compounds out, before they’re blended into regular coffee. And even better than that, there are all sorts of potential health benefits to be reaped by increasing your mushroom consumption, so give it a go and see what you think! Peppermint tea Another alternative is a delicious and refreshing cup of peppermint tea. How dainty! It’s thought that peppermint can help give you an energy boost and tackle fatigue and sleepiness, so if you do struggle to get going in the morning, this could be the new tipple for you. Chicory coffee Or what about giving chicory coffee a go? For this coffee iteration, chicory root is dried, roasted and ground up to make a healthy drink that’s similar in colour to coffee but is sweeter (so no need to add extra sugar!), nuttier and less bitter than traditional coffee. It may not give you the intense morning energy boost you’re after, but research suggests that the inulin found within the root (which is a prebiotic fibre) can support the gut microbiome and promote good bowel health, so there are other potential benefits to the drink.
