• The fruits you add to your bowl are definitely beneficial in terms of vitamin, mineral and fibre contributions. However, keep in mind that if you overdo it with frozen fruits, you may experience blood sugar imbalances due to excess sugar intake.
• If you want to have a colourful bowl, of course you can decorate to your liking. However, a bowl that looks nice can cause also fat gain around your waist. Be sure to choose healthy fats and quality carbs for your bowl.
