Recipe of the month - green breakfast bowl

In our series all about cooking and baking, guest author Bettina from @besch_food introduces you to a new SoSUE seasonal recipe every month. Look forward to tasty treats from her private cookbook and get inspired. Bon appetit!

Full of best intentions we start into a new year. The darkest nights are already behind us, the cookie stocks have been eaten, the Christmas decorations are gradually disappearing into the boxes and cartons...
After so much feasting, we now feel like cleaneating. Vegetables, preferably raw, full of healthy nutrients.

My green breakfast bowl is full of them. Avocados provide us with unsaturated fatty acids, potassium (good for our nerves and heart), folic acid and vitamins. Because of their high fat content, they help us absorb fat-soluble vitamins better.
Spinach is one of the low-calorie vegetables, is full of phytochemicals, has an antioxidant effect and provides us with vitamin C and beta-carotene, among others.
Cucumber, also like spinach, consists mainly of water and is a real moisture booster for our skin and is also low in calories. Most of the vitamins are in the peel, so please be sure to look for organic quality! Then the peel can be used as well. One apple a day keeps the doctor away.... Who does not know this sentence! Here the apple supplies us not only fruit sweetness but also pectin, which can lower the cholesterol level. Vitamins are also in the skin. So also here organic buy and not peel.
Banana provides us with quick energy due to its fructose content. Perfect to start the day. Potassium strengthens our heart. Magnesium not only increases our performance but is also involved in our muscle building, among other things.
Last but not least, lemon juice. Full of vitamin C, it strengthens our immune system and helps to better absorb iron (spinach).
A true health booster. Just what we need right now. Take care of yourselves and your ankles!
