How many of you enjoy smoothie bowls?! A great breakfast option, or a rejuvenating meal replacement whether in a sunny climate or not.
๐ฅฐ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐คค
Some tricks I learned while mastering the art of a well balanced & aesthetically pleasing smoothie bowl are as follows:
Start with your softest foods/fruits/liquids first.
You can blend up frozen veggies like cauliflower, sweet potatoes or frozen kale to balance out your sugars & carbs while getting closer to your daily veggie servings in!
Additionally you can mix your protein powders, spriulina or other roots/herbs like turmeric, cinnamon etc. if you wish.
When you decorate or the dress the bowl you can have fun by picking contrasting (in color) fruit, granola, seed and/ or nuts (or anything you like)!

๐ซ DIY: EASY VEGAN DARK CHOCOLATE NUTTY BARK ๐ซ
Ingredients:
๐1/4 cup raw hazelnuts (we used walnuts)
๐1/4 cup raw almonds (we used cashews)
๐1/3 cup large flake dried coconut
๐1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
๐1/2 cup cocoa or cacao powder, sifted if necessary
๐1/4 cup pure maple syrup (we used agave syrup)
๐1 tablespoon smooth almond butter, optional
๐pinch fine sea salt
Preheat oven to 300F. Line a 9" square pan or a small baking sheet with two pieces of parchment paper, one going each way. Set aside.
Add your desired nuts to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes if desired. Remove baking sheet and add the coconut flakes and spread out. Continue roasting the nuts and coconut flakes for another 3-4 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly golden, again if desired. Watch closely to avoid burning - coconut burns fast!
If using hazelnuts, place hazelnuts on several sheets of damp paper towel. Wrap the hazelnuts and rub them vigorously with the paper towel until the skins fall off. Itโs ok if some skins donโt come off. Discard the skins and roughly chop the hazelnuts and almonds.
In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa (or cacao) powder, maple syrup, and almond butter (if using) until smooth. Add a pinch of sea salt to taste. Stir in half of the almonds and hazelnuts.
With a spatula, spoon the chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined pan or sheet and smooth out until it's about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle on the remaining nuts and all of the coconut flakes. Place into freezer on a flat surface for about 15 minutes, until frozen solid.
Once frozen, break apart into bark. Store in the freezer until ready to eat. I don't recommend keeping it out on the counter long because it melts fast! Recipe inspired by: oh she glows

Iโve been enjoying a salad ๐ฅ & smoothie bowl kick these past few days - but Iโm waiting on sharing the S.B. recipes because Iโm utilizing trial by error & genuinely learning with the process (blends, textures, taste, macro components)! ๐๐๐๐ฅฅ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฅญ๐๐๐ฅ Have a great day! ๐ฌ
Every Saturday ( & Friday / Sunday afternoon for that matter) Iโd be dancing somewhere posh in the city prior to March of this year. Though I donโt miss the late nights or the atmosphere, Iโll always miss dressing up ๐ & I still dance at a local studio as Iโve shared with you all. โ๏ธ๐๐ป๐ Now, as Iโve also shared, I spend more time cooking & baking, ๐งhiking outdoors, writing, learning to code, & doing barre & yoga at home ( among other things! ) Cheers to us meeting on here! I appreciate you!
โค๏ธHappy Weekend! Iโm feeling fruitastic! Lol.
๐Did you know: strawberries are packed with many antioxidants, potassium, folate, fiber and potent nutritional value!
๐Clinical research suggests that eating just a serving of eight medium strawberries a day may improve: brain health, heart health and reduce risk of some cancers.
๐ I also myself just learned that with strawberries, they can be used as a skin treatment if your skin is dry, rough or dull. You can rub strawberries on your face and because they have alpha hydroxy acidโs they can help remove dead skin cells, cleansing & renewing your complexion!
๐ Also, one cup of strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange! Who knew!?
๐Strawberries are versatile as you can eat them directly, garnish desserts with them, include them in salads or add them to your smoothies! ๐
