3 Smoothie Bowls To Boost Your Energy

Rachel Morrow RACHEL MORROW

Did you know that digestion starts at your eyes? Yes... you read that correctly. When you smell and look at the food you are about to eat, it gets the digestive juices swirling and ready to accept and digest whatever is coming!

So it makes sense that you would choose to eat meals that are visually appealing! This also helps us to justify to James and Laurentine why we spend a little more time than usual styling our food and snapping pics before devouring it ;-)

That aside, the smoothie bowl trend isn't stopping anytime soon and apart from making breakfast beautiful, creating them can be a fun way to enjoy a thicker smoothie with all of your favorite toppings!
