The mornings are warm these days, so what’s better than a tropical delicious smoothie bowl. Smoothies and smoothie bowls are a great way to include your fruits and veggies in your daily routine, and the morning is a great time to start! Pineapples and mangoes are packed with antioxidants, vitamin c, fiber and potassium, ginger is know amongst others for its inflammatory properties, chia seeds are a source of protein and oats a great source of fiber.

Spiced Almond Balls
I’ve never met a dish spiced with ginger that i didn’t like! I cannot get enough! And it can only be a good thing, since ginger is so beneficial to our health: apart from the gastrointestinal relief it is credited with, it has great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. So come on… add ginger in your life!
Carrot and Pineapple smoothie
Yes, it can be done: carrots can be used in your smoothies! And you know what? They are delicious! You just need to use your imagination – pair them with a bit of vanilla, acave or maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and voila!
And it’s also nutritious:
carrots are the source not only of beta-carotene, but also of a wide variety of antioxidants and other health-supporting nutrients.
pineapple is packed with vitamin C – the body’s primary water-soluble antioxidant, manganese and vitamins B6 and B1
ginger is known for its noninflammatory actions as well as gastrointestinal relieving powers.
cinnamon is reach in manganese, fiber and calcium.
Maybe, just maybe I’ve convinced you to try this one? 🙂

If you love artichokes (like I do) and gherkins, capers and ginger (like I do), then this one is for you! I came up with this recipe exactly because i wanted to combine all these foods together! And I cannot have enough really. As a main or as a side dish, this is a must try.
And it’s packed with artichoke superfood goodness – antioxidants, dietary fiber, folic acid to name a few.
Fruity Green smoothie
‘Eat your veggies please’ ‘Eat your fruit please’. These words still echo in my head!! I remember back then I really really didn’t want my veggies and rarely ate my fruit!

Quinoa stir fry

Quinoa, Soy beans, Kale, Broccoli,Avocado, Ginger and Turmeric are such foods. So, if you put them all together in a plate… well your body and health love you a bit more!
Spicy Curry Soup
How comforting it is to have a warm, spicy soup on a cold winter’s night! I can really have soup every day! This soup has such an amazing aroma and the combination of curry, coriander and peanuts is just perfect! You can adjust the spiciness according to your taste buds.
