Raw Energy Balls with Beauty Fruits

Morning sweethearts! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the beautiful new year! I have been really busy working on this blog. I started this a few months ago, having absolutely no idea of how to make this somewhat appealing. Luckily my nephew offered me to help, he is a true genius when it comes to all this technical stuff. So all I have to do now is write write and write... Which I love doing so the new year is off to a wonderful start!

In between writing, editing and taking pictures I have been trying out amazing new recipes. One of which is this delicious Raw Breakfast Energy Ball. After only one I felt satisfied and energized! A true life saviour when you are in a hurry in the morning but still want to fill your body with the absolute best nutrients your body deserves and needs!
I ate them with berries and figs. Berries are my go to fruits whenever I feel my skin is a bit blah. They are my number 1 beautyfoods!






















Beautyfoods
Strawberries: These gorgeous berries are rich in AHA's, vitamin C, salicylic acit and flavanoids. Each of these fancy words are known for their healing powers, they clear acne and reduce oil. Strawberries also reduce puffiness and circles beneath your eyes. As if this is not enough, they are antiaging as well because of their high antioxidant content!

Raspberries: These delicious, juice little berries have amazing healing benefits for your skin. The antioxidants packed into these beauties neutralize enznymes that destroy connective tissue in the skin and if this is not enough, antioxidants repair protein in your bloodvessel walls preventing inflammation! 
Raspberries contain twice as much antioxidants as a strawberry and three times more than a kiwi. 
Raspberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C – which is great for the absorption of nutrients into your skin.
