Alaya F is constantly experimenting with her diet and nutrition to make healthy eating tasty. In a social media post, she shared her smoothie bowl recipe, which she said can give decadent desserts a run for their money!
“What if I told you that your breakfast could taste like an ice cream/sorbet and still be really healthy? Lots of you wanted my smoothie bowl recipe so I decided to make a little video on it! It’s my favourite, enjoy!,” the actor wrote on Instagram.

She blends frozen berries and bananas, nut butter, milk, Greek yoghurt, and honey. Then, she pours the mixture into a bowl and tops it with granola, coconut shavings, chia seeds, extra berries, and optional nut butter.
According to her, bananas and blueberries are rich in antioxidants and make you feel energised. Almond milk lends a dose of vitamin E. Chia seeds enrich the smoothie with healthy fats and fibre, almond butter gives protein for muscle recovery. At the same time, granola and coconut shavings add crunch and hydration. Finally, drizzle honey for a touch of sweetness and antibacterial benefits and tie it all up with Greek yogurt for protein and gut support.

Is it a healthy recipe?
Holic health and wellness coach Isha Lall said that bananas, especially ripe ones, have a high glycemic index (GI) that can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar. “A medium-sized banana contains about 27 grams of carbohydrates, so they’re a good source of this macronutrient. Two medium bananas double the carbohydrate load to 54 grams, heightening the risk of a blood sugar spike. Balancing the sugar in bananas with nuts, which pack healthy fats, protein, and fiber, can slow glucose absorption and, hopefully, help moderate blood sugar levels,” she told .

However, she warned that Ayurveda strongly emphasizes combinations of foods and the pace of digestion. Combining foods with radically different energetics can overwhelm the digestive fire (agni), leading to indigestion, fermentation, gas, bloating, and the creation of toxins. “Sweet fruits (like bananas) should ideally be eaten alone or in the company of other fruits. Nuts are dense and slow to digest, so they take up more time in the stomach. If eaten together, the fruit digests more quickly, while the nuts fall behind and can ferment and cause digestive issues,” she said.
