My gut-health journey with The Beauty Chef

Over the years I’ve loved exploring and sharing my culinary growth and journey with all of you which makes this episode of #eyeswoonunplugged so much more special. Today marks the beginning of something completely new for me—my exploration with gut health. This is also the first time I am sharing a breakfast recipe AND one that is both dairy free, gluten free, and includes GLOW Inner Beauty Essential — an innovative powder from The Beauty Chef that’s packed with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. 

I honestly love the synergy between my brand and what CEO and founder, Carla Oates has created with The Beauty Chef. As you know, EyeSwoon has always been rooted in the appreciation of beauty surrounding food and design. To me, beauty elevates the ordinary, it is uplifting in ways I often cannot even put into words—it’s a feeling. (I mean, my cookbook was titled, Cook Beautiful after all—hehe!) Like me, Carla loves to experiment in the kitchen and through that process she discovered a connection between science, gut health, and beauty. There is a direct link between what we feed our microbiome and how we glow from the inside out.

I love nothing more than to learn and educate myself on something as important as gut health and digestion but I also love to teach and share that knowledge, too. So, today I will prepare the most delicious blueberry GLOW compote that embodies natural bio-fermented superfoods to nourish your gut for beautiful, glowing skin! Then, I will drizzle the delicious super-charged compote over a creamy coconut yogurt with a sprinkle of buckwheat, coconut, and seed granola. Yum!

So, here’s to celebrating beauty above all else! And as Carla always says—”beauty begins in the belly.” I couldn’t agree more!
