Sweet potatoes are my new favourite thing. They not only taste great, and are actually really good at lowering stress levels due to the fact that they are very rich in vitamin C, iron and magnesium, they contain vitamin D, which helps to support your immune system and your thyroid gland, as well as keeping your bones, heart, nerves, skin and teeth healthy. It also helps to boost our energy levels and mood!
Because they are so good for you, I've been trying to incorporate sweet potatoes into my diet more. However, just having them as wedges or as mash can be pretty boring. So, I decided to experiment a bit and make sweet potato cakes, and they came out suprisingly well. Quick, easy and delicious, they make the perfect summer meal and are one of my new favourite recipes!

Berry and Banana Smoothie Breakfast Bowl
Breakfast is probably my least favourite meal, mainly due to the fact that almost everyday I have to rush it. Honestly, I'm not what you would call an 'Early Bird', I absolutely hate mornings. I'm still in school, meaning I have to be out the door by 8 to ensure I'm not late, and my morning routine is simple: wake up, stay in bed lie in as long as possible (which is about 10 minutes to be honest), get dressed as quickly as I can, grab my stuff, and try to eat some breakfast before I leave. On weekdays, my breakfast is sometimes a cereal bar or a bit of yoghurt if I'm in a rush, but most days it's fibre/bran flakes with raisins, banana and a couple of almonds. Pretty tasty, but also pretty boring. Weekends are great because I get the time to actually make myself a decent breakfast. My weekend breakfasts are either banana pancakes (I usually make these on Sundays, so I'll post a recipe tomorrow!) or a smoothie bowl like the one above. Berries are my favourite type of fruit; sweet, rich in antioxidants and fibre, they fill me up quickly and are a great start to the day, however, can be a bit boring by themselves. Based on Deliciously Ella's recipe (her blog is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, you should definitely go check it out), I concocted a relatively fast and simple breakfast smoothie bowl that is really really tasty. Consisting of blueberries, strawberries AND raspberries, as well as banana and yoghurt, this is one of my favourites and I hope you all will try it!
