If you’ve never had cacao, açaí nor goji berries I’m so excited to entice your taste buds with this superfood smoothie bowl recipe. Navitas Organics created this amazing antioxidant blend that includes all three of these ingredients. I decided to create a smoothie bowl and add my favorite toppings, making it that much more delicious. But first, I want to break down these superfoods and their health benefits so you know what they are are about!
So let’s start with cacao. Cacao is chocolate in its raw, purest form. It is derived from cacao beans. It is known as a heart opener and carries numerous health benefits. Here are a few below:
- High amounts of iron and magnesium
- Contains calcium & lots of antioxidants
- Boosts energy & mood
- Natural aphrodisiac
Next, is açaí. Açaí berry is a reddish-purple fruit that grows on palm trees. It is a superfood known to be loaded with antioxidants, like cacao, and contribute to health improvement. Below are some of the benefits:
- Improve mental health
- Regenerates damaged skin cells (healthy skin)
- Balances cholesterol and blood pressure
- Helps digestion & aids weight loss
Lastly, goji berries. These are an ancient red fruit packed with antioxidants and powerful healing properties, such as:
- Provides immune support
- Supports healthy eye function
- Supports a healthy liver
- Helps lower stress & improve sleep
