Focus What You Eat | #BecomeHealthy

Don´t focus how much you eat. Focus  w h a t  you eat!

My lovely followers have requested a food post for the longest! Ever since I started the #BecomeHealthy challenge, you guys were asking about food related posts continuously. While traveling and working so much, keeping up the healthy game was definitely a challenge. I often went out to get food or ordered a pizza to be able to get as much work done as possible. I actually felt a huge difference between working out and eating healthy snacks or working out and eating deliciously unhealthy. 

When it comes to food, I strive for a good taste. The food needs to look and taste good, otherwise I won´t even touch it. Switching up from fantastic warm chocolate croissants in the morning to quinoa cereals with a neutral taste is tough but that´s fine because my mind tells me how good this nutrition is and what it does to my body! 

Before team @appics and I went to London for some crypto related events, my friend @lisadang referred a new restaurant to me where I have never been before! After a sweaty workout I was looking for something healthy but not too heavy for my stomach. She obviously found the best place to eat! 

Hanging Out Café

Germany is still developing the healthy scene which means we do not have a lot of wholesome spots. The Hanging Out Café is located very central near the shopping area in Hamburg just besides several universities. 

When I first came into the store, my interior heart was melting. I am a huge fan of architecture and this place is well designed with a bunch of shimmering lights hanging from the top which gave us a nice atmosphere to talk and work.

The Menu

The menu was very clear and easy to understand. Even though I have never eaten a fruit bowl before, I was able to understand every detail on the board. 

The Chia Berry Bowl

I have never eaten a fruit bowl, as I mentioned earlier, and I have never eaten a chia pudding either. @lisadang was so hyped about the chia pudding taste which made it easy for me to choose what kind of bowl I want to try. The bowl consisted of a chia pudding, fruit cream on top of it and 3 different toppings such as coconut, fruits and different sorts of nuts. I went for the coconut, raspberries and crunchy almonds. 

The consistency was just p e r f e c t ! A cold, creamy, delicious and healthy chia pudding served with a sour/sweet cream of raspberries & strawberries finished with crunchy almonds, coconut chips and fresh, sweet raspberries! It took me less than 10 minutes to finish the whole bowl. Even after rushing through this meal, I still did not feel bloated or filled at all. 

The Smoothie

When you know me, then you probably know that I can not eat anything without having a drink. Non alcoholic but still delicious and fresh! 

When I chose the berry bowl I also wanted a healthy drink without any added sugar or artificial ingredients. I decided to take the berry smoothie which tasted like a paradise. I am sure you guys have probably tasted a good smoothie before so you know why I love it so much.
