Protein Packed Acai Bowl

One of many delicious acai smoothie bowls on my recipe page, this one has the added benefits of containing flaxseed and blueberries

In one of my earlier recipes I have outlined the very long list of benefits of the super acai berry. Below I have also listed the additional benefits that this bowl boasts by having  flaxseed (which are gluten free) and blueberries in it:

Flaxseed benefits

Antioxidants

High fibre, low carbs, and aids digestive health

Improved skin and hair health

Can aid weight loss and lower cholesterol

Can help with menopausal symptoms

High in Omega-3 fatty acids

With a prep time of only 5 mins, this really is the best breakfast, that you can even take in a flask on your way to work if you’re in a rush.
