Having chronic Lyme pretty much means I am chronically fatigued, choking down so much food to try and gain energy from it, to no avail.
But, I have gotten to the point where whatever I eat, it has to be clean, it has to be helpful (anti-inflammatory, energizing, etc.) and it has to TASTE GOOD!
Welcome the smoothie bowl. I am a smoothie bowl FIEND. To make the one above, check out the recipe below, filled with veggies, healthy fats and anti-inflammatory ingredients to fit your dietary needs. Of course, it’s gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free.
