Acai Mango Detox Smoothie Bowls - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Don’t you hate it when you mean to order the blue spirulina and you accidentally get the green one?

Alright, so that’s probably just me. I could think of a whole list of other scenarios that would only happen to me because I’m the strange food blogger girl. For example, sometimes I get the funniest looks when I’m checking out at the grocery store for my random purchases. I mean, I’m sure we all have our moments of needing to buy something unusual along with our weekly grocery run but for me it’s just about every time and way more than once a week.

I also have earned some puzzled glances when shopping in places that you wouldn’t typically see a young girl alone. Like the other day when I was carrying a stack of large boards to the self-checkout at home depot after circling the store with them looking for some other miscellaneous items I needed. By the way, I’m thinking of doing a post about what I’m doing with those boards. Would you be interested?

Anyway, that spirulina I mentioned is one of the reasons I’m sharing this recipe today. You see, I wanted to make a stunning, aqua blue, insta-worthy, smoothie or smoothie bowl with this ingredient I thought I’d bought until I opened it and realized it was the wrong one. Super sad, I know, but don’t worry because I’m still planning to carry out that plan if I can manage to order the right thing next time.

For today though, you’ll have to settle for a reddish, greenish one. Did I plan for a vibrant blue one? Yes, yes I did. Did I move onto plan be and attempt to make a deep green one instead only to decide it looked too much like baby poo? Yes, yes I did. Did I consider selling you guys on the the baby poo smoothie bowl anyway, with the argument being that it tasted way better than it looked? Yep, did that too. Did I come to my food styling senses and realize it was a no-go? Been there got the t-shirt. Yeah, so hopefully this one has a little more appetizing appearance. I usually wouldn’t have a problem with photographing green foods, in fact they’re one of my favorites, but this color was truly awful you guys. Plus, I’ve learned from experience that it’s much better to quit while your ahead in these type of things.

So I scratched it and made a smoothie bowl with acai berries to help get a much better color and some tropical fruits to add that refreshing flavor I was originally going for. I still through in all the really good-for-you things because health, but who says feeding your body with nutrients has to be ugly?

I always enjoy sharing smoothies and smoothie bowls because they are so easy and you can completely switch things up and make them you’re own. The fruits I chose to put on top of this one were solely based on what I love and what I had but pretty much any fruit you want can go on it. Except tomatoes. Yeah, definitely don’t put tomatoes cuz that would be weird. 😉

Several month ago I decided to curate amost only german posts. But I can remember the time when we were together in the 3000SP channel. And I got always good support from you. Today I made a visit on your blog and I am glad to see your gorgeous success in less than two years. Thats really amazing and therefore I send you my congratulations! Your posts are alwasy so tasty and written with love and passion! Steem on, mate!

that is a huge compliment, huge encouragement, thanks so much @freiheit50, this was lovely. I see how curating mostly german posts is a really good thing. Communities / 'hive-mind' is coming and it's time to start building, so I encourage you to continue. However, it's great to hear from an 'old friend.'

Beautiful as always! Now that we have a better camera, I'm really enjoying taking some food photos ourselves! Thanks for the inspiration!
