Healthy Protein Dessert – (Part 3) by Authentic Food Stories

This striking mural is part of an exclusive series of three images created during a very mindful and active phase of my life. Shaped by regular exercise, a fresh diet and pure vitality, it perfectly reflects this attitude to life. This photograph was taken quite spontaneously straight after a gruelling workout: a wonderful, natural snack was waiting on my plate. Fresh, juicy, vibrant oranges served as a quick carbohydrate boost, perfectly paired with protein-rich skyr. I’d cut the oranges into fine cubes, simply spooned the skyr over them, and was just about to take my first bite when the aesthetics of the scene made me pause. On the simple, Scandinavian-style plate, the arrangement looked so harmonious that I had to reach for my camera straight away.

With a suitable background and beautiful, natural light, I captured the plate from various angles. All my photos are completely authentic, taken straight from real life – in the midst of everyday life, whilst cooking, preparing food or straight after shopping. There are no artificial set-ups. When you look at this photo, you can practically taste the juicy freshness of the oranges and imagine the velvety creaminess of the skyr on your tongue.

As a wall hanging, this image brings an incredible burst of positive energy to any room and lends even the sometimes gloomy, grey days a warm, cheerful glow. A real eye-catcher that celebrates a love of genuine indulgence.
