Does food taste better when it's visually appealing? There is no evidence.
Does food earn more "Likes" on Instagram when it's visually appealing? There is no doubt.
The so-called "glory bowl," can be a true visual treasure when crafted with care. The beautiful breakfast, which is typically made from fruit, chia seeds, non-dairy milk, nuts and yogurt or a different smoothie base, is incredibly customizable. It can be savory, complete with tart yogurt, blended kale and nuts. Or it can be sweet as pie, relying on the electrifying colors of fruit and seeds to make any hungry breakfast-seeker stop in her tracks.
