I woke up one morning thinking that I am so over my usual breakfast; halloumi sandwich, labneh, eggs, cereal, over and over again!
And to be very honest, in the back of my head, I have been contemplating going on a vegan diet. I tried it once before and it was a life changer! I lost so much weight, my body just shrunk, I felt lighter, more energetic, and just overall really good!
So, I decided to make this berry bowl which is purely vegan. I used all natural ingredients, no artificial sweeteners. With a finishing drizzle of honey, It just tasted so darn good!
Initially, I hadn’t added any granola, but I felt like it needed a crunch. So thats when I decided to make my own. Please find the recipe for the granola in another post.
I am sure you will be making this bowl as often as I do, and you will learn to be very creative with your ingredients. You pretty much need 3 key ingredients:
1- 2 Frozen fruit (banana is essential and choose from one of the following: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango)
2- A crunch essential (granola, walnuts, almonds, pistachios, coconut shavings, etc)
3- Decorative tasty seasonings (chia seeds, coconut powder, etc)
and a delicate drizzle of honey 🙂
