"The antioxidants present in a&ccedil;ai berries lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risks of&nbsp;Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease and macular degeneration. They're also a great source of vitamin C and iron," says <a href="https://serotonindealer.com" target="_blank">restaurant</a> owner Emily Hazell. "We top our bowl with healthy hazelnut and buckwheat granola, fresh berries, and a frozen banana-chocolate pop," she adds.

"All of the ingredients are sourced locally," says <a href="http://www.thekettleblack.com.au/" target="_blank">co-owner</a> Nathan Toleman of this wholesome dish.&nbsp;"We make the muesli using Australian rolled oats and soak it in almond milk and our house-made yogurt. For garnish, we add buckwheat, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and seasonal fruit."

"Fresh ricotta has a similar texture to cottage cheese but it's lighter," says the <a href="https://www.highergroundmelbourne.com.au/" target="_blank">restaurant</a>'s co-owner Nathan Toleman. "It's also packed with protein and calcium and a variety of seeds and nuts give it a terrific crunch."

Per <a href="http://www.huntersroots.com/" target="_blank">co-owner</a> Kerry Chew, "This is a signature dish of ours for a good reason: The delicious crunch of the superfood toppings is served over a light and refreshing base, with everything made in-house. The vibrant pink color is thanks to the dragon fruit, which is rich in antioxidants and has a very subtle flavor that pairs well with the berries.&rdquo;
