    I’ve learnt maybe yoghurt isn’t my vibe (and that’s okay).

    You know when you go through that phase where you convince yourself you’re finally going to be the “yoghurt and muesli for breakfast” girl? You romanticize it. You picture yourself sitting in the morning light, tiny bowl, crunchy granola, maybe some chia seeds if you’re feeling fancy. Yep… I was her. For a while.

    And honestly? I wanted it to be my thing. It looked cute. It felt healthy. But then came the bloat. And me not liking how it affected my skin.

    At some point, I had to be real with myself: yoghurt just isn’t my vibe. And that’s fine.

    So lately, I’ve been keeping things lighter, like fresh pineapple in the morning. Pineapple is rich in bromelain, an enzyme that helps with digestion and inflammation (aka, it’s basically your gut’s best friend). Plus, it’s packed with vitamin C, which is amazing for skin health and that natural glow we all want without caking on highlighter.

    On days when I’m craving something more filling, I go for my new favourite combo: avocado with an egg. It’s the perfect mix of healthy fats, protein, and flavour, keeps you full, balanced, and not in that “I just ate cement” way. The avocado gives you that creamy texture (and those skin-loving fats), while the egg adds the perfect amount of energy to start the day strong.

    The thing I’ve realized is this: there’s no one-size-fits-all healthy breakfast. It’s not about copying what looks good on TikTok. It’s about listening to your body, what makes you feel light, clear, and alive.

    Because food isn’t just fuel; it’s energy, mood, and self-care all wrapped into one little morning ritual. And sometimes, that ritual looks like pineapple and sunshine. Sometimes, it looks like avo toast with an egg and a cup of matcha on the side.

    Either way, it’s yours. And that’s what makes it perfect.

    Berry smoothies > therapy (sometimes)

    Let’s be real for a sec, if I could only have one meal for the rest of my life, it would 100% be a smoothie. And not just any smoothie. A berry smoothie. With almond milk. Thick, cold, slightly sweet, kind of like a hug in a cup. It’s not just a drink, it’s a whole moment.

    And while it is delicious, the best part? It actually loves you back.

    Here’s why my blender stays booked and busy:

    1. Berries are tiny superheroes
    Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whatever you’ve got in the freezer, just know they’re loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and all the good stuff your skin, brain, and body love.
    They’re literally out here fighting inflammation and aging while you sip something that tastes like dessert.

    Bonus: They also help with digestion, brain health, and heart health. I mean?? Iconic behavior.

    2. Almond milk is the underrated MVP
    I always go for almond milk. It’s light, creamy, and way easier on the stomach (hello, dairy intolerance).
    It adds that smooth texture I’m obsessed with, and it doesn’t overpower the flavour of the fruit, just blends in and lets the berries be the main character. We love a supportive queen.

    3. It’s fast, filling, and makes you feel like you have your life together
    There’s something about holding a smoothie in your hand that just makes you feel… well. Like yes, maybe I didn’t journal today, but I did blend frozen fruit with intention and sip it while pretending I’m the healthiest person alive.
    Also, it’s actually filling. I’ll throw in some protein powder, chia seeds, or oats when I’m in my “meal prep era,” and boom, breakfast/lunch/dinner is sorted.

    4. Smoothies are joy in a glass
    There’s a reason I love them so much. They’re easy. They’re colourful. They’re happy.
    And sometimes, after a long day or a stressful morning, that’s exactly what I need. Something simple. Something sweet. Something I don’t have to overthink.

    So yes, this is your official reminder to get your blender out and romanticize your next smoothie moment.

    Berry smoothies (with almond milk, obviously) = elite behavior.

    And if you hear me calling it my favourite meal again… just let me live.
