    I've started marking Acai Bowl's recently and this is a recipe I've been using online :) 

    Image result for acai bowl

    Ingredients
    • 1 packet (100 grams) frozen acai berry packet
    • 1/2 cup apple juice 
    • 1 small frozen banana
    • 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    • 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

    Top your bowl:
    • 1 tablespoon honey 
    • Handful granola
    • Fresh fruit: such as fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and banana: fruit sliced thinly or chopped
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

    Instructions
    1. Add the acai berry packet, apple juice, banana, strawberries, and blueberries to a high powered blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into a large bowl.

    2. Top the bowl with as much (or as little) of your favorites such as granola, fresh (thinly sliced) fruit, chia seeds, and coconut! I recommend drizzling on about a tablespoon of honey over everything. Enjoy immediately.


    Enjoy <3 

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I made Nutella swirl cake a few weeks back (not my photo 😂) 
    Ingredients 
    • 225 g Unsalted butter plus extra for greasing the tin
    •  225 g Caster sugar
    •  4 Free range eggs medium
    •  225 g Self raising flour
    •  150 g Nutella

    To top:

    •  75 g Hazelnuts
    •  100 g Nutella

    Instructions

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 160C (fan or 180C non fan).
    2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    3. Beat in the eggs, don't worry if it curdles.
    4. Gently stir in the flour.
    5. Remove about a third of the mixture into another bowl and add the 150g of Nutella. Gently stir in until combined. (If the room is cold, pop the Nutella in a bowl in the microwave for 15 - 20 seconds first to warm it and soften it slightly.)

    6. Put the two thirds of the batter into a well greased and lined cake tin and add the Nutella flavoured batter. I put the batters side by side, lengthways down the tin.
    7. Swirl the batters together using a knife.
    8. Bake for about an hour or until a skewer comes out clean. This time may vary by up to 15 minutes either way depending on your oven so just check the cake at 45 minutes onwards.

    9. When the cake come out of the oven, leave the oven on and toast the hazelnuts in the oven until golden. If they are in their skins, toast until the skin is very dark brown and you can smell the nuts, then gently roll the nuts around in a tea towel until the skins fall off. Chop very roughly, leaving them still quite large.
    10. When the loaf is cold, turn out of the tin and slather on the remaining Nutella with a knife and top with the remaining toasted nuts.
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.
