Me and my family recently flew to Bali for a holiday, some work and a wedding of close friends. It was my second time in Bali and I was lucky enough to have a month of fun on the island. I revisited all my favourite places, ate heaps, got sick twice (oops) and saw the most beautiful waterfalls ever.
The best part about the trip was the eating (obvs). I visited some faves from my last visit and also a whole heap of new cafes / restaurants. I had the pleasure of working with some amazing health food cafes, helped with menu development for a few cafes on the island and jammed with the guys at Nalu bowls, learning to make my favourite - their "Uluwatu" Smoothie Bowl at the Uluwatu location.
I met amazing people, including heaps of beautiful locals, watched some epic sunsets and had a lot of bed rest and time to reflect. All in all, a mind-shifting trip that forced me to slow down and has sorta changed me - for the better.
I am really excited to share my favourite eats, that generously includes a recipe share from each establishment just for you guys!
I hope you get to try these DELISH eats at your next visit to Bali, and if Bali is not on the cards, hope you enjoy making these recipes at home.
