    Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl

    Feb 11, 2015 • Breakfast, Follicular Phase, Ovulatory Phase, Smoothies and Juices

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl - vegan, healthy, easy and tastes like ice cream - this green bowl of goodness is thick, creamy, naturally sweet and will leave you feeling balanced.

    All things lean, clean and green are on my mind.

    I’ve been loving this Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl for lean, clean and green energy! Plus it’s like eating ice cream for breakfast… thick, creamy, naturally sweet, refreshing, tropical, super nourishing and gets you excited for spring and summer.

    You can never have too many green smoothie recipes. Some are super duper green, some are bright green, some are tropical… it’s fun to mix it up! I’ve probably blended up hundreds of different green combinations by now, but I always come back to one in particular:

    • two huge handfuls of spinach (sometimes kale)
    • frozen bananas
    • unsweetened almond milk
    • some other type of fruit (berries/mango/pineapple)
    • ground flaxseed and/or maca powder
    • matcha powder

    It always works. It always makes me feel good and energized. It always tastes amazing.

    Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl - vegan, healthy, easy and tastes like ice cream - this green bowl of goodness is thick, creamy, naturally sweet and will leave you feeling balanced.

    I love adding all kinds of super foods to any meal that I can – but matcha powder is a green tea super food that naturally fuels the body with an extra boost of pure energy. It’s total brain food too. Matcha powder is:

    • packed with antioxidants, vitamins + phytonutrients
    • can be equal to 10 glasses of green tea (hello natural energy!)
    • helps with focus and concentration

    You can find my favorite brand of matcha here.

    I add ground flaxseed (must be ground for superior nutrition absorption) for:

    • omega 3 fatty acids
    • soluble fiber
    • lignans (plant antioxidants) 

    I add maca powder for:

    • hormone balance
    • B-vitamins for energy
    • essential minerals
    • plant sterols and adaptogens

    Find my favorite flaxseed here and my go-to maca powder here.

    Topping this green bowl of goodness with crunchy coconut flakes, juicy pineapple and nourishing chia seeds sounded appetizing to me, but the possibilities are endless. You could top it with frozen berries, gogi berries, the most amazing rawnola, a scoop of almond butter, anything you want! Or you can skip the toppings and drink it just the way it is. You may want to add more almond milk if you want to sip it through a straw. 

    If we’re being honest, I pour my smoothies into a bowl because it looks pretty! Plus I can add all the good toppings. It’s like food turned into pretty plant based art. I understand there are days when you’re rushing out the door and pouring your green smoothie into a bowl seems utterly ridiculous, it’s meant to be sipped through a straw, right?! I know.. but I guarantee when you have a few extra minutes, you will want to pour this Energizing Green Smoothie into a bowl and make it look all fancy schmancy. Then snap a pic of it super quick for instagram 😉

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

    A DREAM ☁️☁️ You guys. This is a dream co A DREAM ☁️☁️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
