Morning Healing 🌤 Superfood Smoothie Bowl
For starters, it is pronounced Ch-Aa. Not Ch-Ai. Second, I have been loving this smoothie bowl as I transition out of the cold winter. The spices, superfoods, and toppings warm your soul while the bowl itself is quite refreshing. This bowl is filled with a healers touch and I can proudly say my Bibi(Grandma in Punjabi) would be proud of these ingredients.
Hopefully it is the last cold and flu season and I wanted to use some healthy ingredients to support the immune system. So this turmeric chai smoothie bowl is a flavour combination of healthly golden milk i and chai tea. It is delicious! and nourishing! Oh and : smoothie bowls are so fun to decorate and top! 😉
Who else craves a smoothie bowl every morning?
Smoothie bowls can help to improve the fiber content of your morning meal by topping them with whole fruits or veggies. Making the digestive system work a bit harder will also contribute to helping you feel fuller and more satisfied for longer during the day!
WHAT IS GOLDEN MILK?
Have you ever heard of golden milk? It’s a combination of turmeric, coconut milk or oil and black pepper. Turmeric contains curcumin which a strong anti-inflammatory and promotes healthy cell function. Black pepper has properties that help you absorb the turmeric better and the coconut oil or milk has antioxidants and can help against certain viruses.
