Hey lovies!
Talk about a bowl of vitamin C, fibre & antioxidants!
This was the PERFECT post-workout breaky today! It’s deliciously naturally sweet, creamy, thick, comforting & so filling + satisfying! The best part about a breakfast like this is that you prep it the night before in under 5 minutes & in the morning, all you gotta do is get creative with toppings & enjoy! It’s great if you get home from the gym famished, like me, but also amazing to take with you to work or school in the morning when you’re rushing!
I topped it with bee pollen, some fresh blueberries, frozen banana slices & Ceylon cinnamon. I find the frozen banana adds such a delicious creamy touch to the bowl that you don’t get from it when it’s fresh! I actually like to freeze bananas on the reg when I meal prep because I love the way they mix with oats & Greek yogurt, two of my go-to breaky foods!
If you’re wondering what on earth açai is, it’s basically a Brazilian superfood that packs a ton of vitamin C, E & antioxidants. It’s also really high in fibre & great for boosting metabolism, burning fat, healthy weight maintenance, boosting energy & endurance & giving your immune system just the boost it needs to fight off disease-invading particles, toxins & to keep you glowing from the inside out!
