PITAYA SMOOTHIE BOWL

Makes 1 serving

INGREDIENTS:

Healthy foods that make you fat? Yup, it’s true. You see, the micro nutrients in food have nothing to do with the energy content in that food (also known as calories).  And at the end of the day, a food might be loaded with wonderful nutrients, but also loaded with energy / calories.

Physical hunger is triggered by hormone shifts – ghrelin, cortisol, insulin, leptin etc. Without having to be an endocrinologist you absolutely can help yourself out here by manipulating your food choices and making some simple lifestyle changes!
