THE MELBOURNE LOOK INTO ACAI BOWLS

The Melbourne Look is one of Melbourne’s favourite health food bloggers as she takes a genuine approach when she writes about food and health. She started thinking more about what she eats when she was diagnosed with IBS and now lives a plant-based, FODMAP friendly lifestyle. She loves to share her experiences with her followers, recommending Melbourne’s best foodie finds and developing her own delicious recipes. We asked her a few questions about her love for acai, this is what she had to say:

What is your favourite thing about an acai bowl? “The thick, creamy texture and subtle berry taste. It’s a powerful anti-inflammatory, high in anti-oxidants and great for the skin and immune system”

What is your special touch when making an acai smoothie at home? “My secret is adding coconut water – it gives it that thick, creamy texture and is a natural sweetener, meaning I don’t have to add any refined sugars or sweeteners”

What does a healthy lifestyle mean to you? ”Nourishing your body with the best possible nutrients and vitamins to ensure you’re giving it the fuel it needs to work throughout the day”
