It's been almost a week since the wedding of the century took place and the details of everything that happened behind the walls of Windsor Castle are still being revealed. Not a day goes by when the newly appointed Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not in the news.
Undoubtedly, part of the responsibility lies with Meghan Markle. Regardless of the interest in everything to do with the
royals The new addition to the British family has brought a legion of fans, and has spawned new ones, ready to follow his every move.
At La Newyorkina we also like Meghan and we're going to tell you why. We have discovered that, like us,
is a breakfast stalwart And of course, she has won our hearts. The Duchess never skips the first meal of the day.
And do you know the best thing? Granola is one of its star ingredients.
Meghan Markle eats a nutritious breakfast

Haven't you heard of this superfood but don't really know what it can add to your diet? Today in our Newyorker's Diary
we'll show you what açaí can do for you.
First of all, what is açaí?
Açaí is the fruit of a palm tree that grows only in the rainforest in northern Brazil. The humid regions near the Amazon are the perfect place for these palm trees, Açaizeiros, which are about 25 metres tall and have slender trunks, to grow.
The açaí berry is round and dark purple in colour, very similar in appearance to blueberries.
What are the benefits of açaí?
- Antioxidant properties. It has a high content of anthocyanins (antioxidants), between 15 and 30 times more than black grapes. Its antioxidant properties make the açaí the perfect food for fighting free radicals and reducing the effects of ageing.
- Açaí is an excellent source of vitamins A, B and C.
- Organic vegetable protein, easier for our bodies to assimilate than animal protein from milk, eggs or meat.
- High in fibre, which helps to treat digestive disorders.
- Omega 3 fatty acids, essential for our body.
-
Strengthens our defences thanks to ellagicacid , which fights bacteria and viruses.
- Anti-inflammatory properties.
- A source of energy and stamina that helps us fight tiredness and fatigue.
As you can see, there are more than enough reasons to introduce açaí into your diet. And the best way to do so is to accompany it with
granola La NewyorkinaThe perfect fusion to start the day in an energetic and healthy way.
If I haven't yet convinced you (which I doubt), I'm going to give you the ultimate reason to try this Brazilian fruit: its taste. Açaí, besides being very beneficial for our health, has a tasty taste, a mixture of chocolate with a hint of cinnamon. Can you ask for anything more? I don't think so.
If you want to have breakfast like a king or, rather, like a duchess, join the Meghan effect! Prepare a good
bowl granola with açaí for your breakfast and fill up on energy.
Have you tried açaí before and have you tried it? We'd love to hear what you think.
