    Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Cup

    Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Cup! Vegan and Gluten Free. The most scrumptious chocolate-for-breakfast recipe that is filled with protein, healthy fat and fiber to keep you feeling balanced, full and energized! #vegan #dairyfree #breakfast #chia pudding #cup

    Ohhhh yes. Yes please!

    Whoever said that breakfast has to be boring? Or worse, bland? Over in our little corner of the interwebs, I like to make the term ‘dessert for breakfast’ possible. Really make it a thing, ya know?

    Mostly because I crave sweets and will take any excuse I can to inhale chocolate at all hours of the day but also because this ‘Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Cup’ straight up looks like dessert and tastes like an almond butter cup, which is why I’m obsessed with it.

    Protein, fat and fiber are not lacking in this dreamy breakfast cup either, meaning it has all the good stuff to keep you feeling balanced, full and energized to take on the day. I know what you like. Basically, you want to feel good, have your cake and eat it too, and I’m right there with ya.

    I go through phases with breakfast. Some days I feel like avocado toast or a smoothie (depending on where I am in my cycle of course!). Some days I feel like gg crackers with dairy-free kite hill cream cheese, cucumber slices and lemon (which is so extra) BUT, when I feel like something sweet for breakfast, I have something semi-sweet. It really is that simple. When I allow myself to eat the foods I enjoy, life is just plain easier and I’m a happier person, which makes the people around me happier too.

    See?! Everyone wins when we eat chocolate for breakfast.

    I cannot and will not be strict with myself because I go totally nutzo. Like been there, done that, am I right? Restriction is a thing of the past, for me anyway. There are plenty of ways to fulfill a craving in a healthier way and feel totally satisfied, even for breakfast. You may be thinking to yourself that eating vegan is restrictive. To that I say, it’s all relative and being vegan does not feel restrictive to me, but that’s a whole other blog post for a different day!

    What ingredients are in this ‘Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Cup’, you ask?

    • Chia Seeds
    • Plant Based Protein Powder (I used this one)
    • Cacao Powder
    • Cinnamon
    • Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
    • Pure Maple Syrup
    • Almond Butter

    Mmmm!?Don’t have almond butter? No worries, swap peanut butter for a peanut butter cup taste or sunflower seed butter for a nut allergy. Basically, any nut butter or seed butter will taste divine with this combination. You really can’t go wrong.

    This yummy cup has it all – not sure why I didn’t share the recipe sooner, but you are going to LOVE everything about it, I promise. The simplicity (yes you can make it the night before or better yet, make multiple at a time), the taste, how it makes you feel, how it improves digestion – everything! I normally make it right when I get up and store it in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set. Then, after I’ve finished my morning routine, or about 1-2 hours later, it’s ready to go. Can I just mention how creamy it is too?! Like the more almond milk, the better.

    If you are currently sitting in a breakfast rut, this recipe for you. This is your sign! Also, don’t think just because it’s titled as a breakfast recipe, that it’s solely a ‘breakfast only’ cup because I’m never mad when mine turns into a snack… just sayin’. You do you and enjoy this cup whenever your heart desires, because it is the epitome of GUILT-FREE. Mmmkay?!

    Description

    Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Cup! Vegan and Gluten Free. The most scrumptious chocolate-for-breakfast recipe that is filled with protein, healthy fat and fiber to keep you feeling balanced, full and energized!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
    • 2 tablespoons plant based chocolate protein powder (or vanilla works too)
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons cacao powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 3/4 cup + 3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk (add 2–3 tablespoons extra if refrigerating overnight)
    • 1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or agave)
    • small handful of cacao nibs for chocolate crunch (optional)
    • 2 tablespoons almond butter (or nut butter of choice)

    Instructions

    1. In a small mason jar (or weck jar) combine all dry ingredients first – chia seeds, protein powder, cacao powder and cinnamon. Stir until well combined, then add in the almond milk and maple syrup and stir until very well combined. Set aside for 1-2 minutes and stir again. You can add the optional cacao nibs and almond butter now or later when it’s ready to eat; it really doesn’t matter. I usually add them later, after it has been refrigerated.
    2. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set, or overnight.
    3. Stir once again before eating.
    4. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • I’m usually impatient and make mine the morning of, but making it the night before may work better for you and for that I say add 2-3 tablespoons extra almond milk, if refrigerating overnight. Also, make multiple batches at a time, to save time in the morning!

    SHANNON // Hair Growth Tips
    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
