No Blender Smoothie Bowl🥣

Sometimes I’m in a pinch or I’m up way earlier than everyone else so using th blender might not be an option. I like to use coconut yogurt as my base to blend a perfect smoothie bowl for the right consistency.

Here are the details:

▪️non-dairy Coconut yogurt— i like the GTS brand, I buy it from Whole Foods

▪️Chocolate Protein

▪️1 tbsp of chia seeds

▪️ 1 tsp of almond butter

Mix all together and top with fruit, goji berries and pumpkin seeds!

Family Friendly Meals for Inspiration! Who is ready to meal prep today for a successful week? I recommend meal prepping for the first half of the week opposed to the whole one.

I recommend purchasing versatile, healthy and clean products on a weekly basis as this will allow you to make the most of your meals and budget.

This week, I’ll post how the meals turned out and give some options in case you have a specific diet.
