Antioxidant-rich smoothie bowl recipe
A little mood boosting smoothie bowl that tastes so good!
This simple combination of frozen blueberries, macadamia nuts and coconut cream is yummy one.
Blueberries are rich in anthocyanin, a flavonoid that gives them the dark blue pigment. Flavonoid rich foods such as blueberries have been shown to have a measurable effect on positive mood.
I add macadamia nuts to the smoothie bowl for their protein and essential fatty acid content, this supports healthy brain function. The prebiotic fibre in the nuts acts as food for the microflora in your gut. This in turn helps support production of your feel good neurotransmitter serotonin (approximately 80%) is produced in the gut.
