Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl (Fruit-Free)

Creamy chocolate fruit-free smoothie bowl packed with veggies and naturally sweetened with japanese yam. Perfect for an energizing breakfast or snack.

Time.

Have you got it?

I want to know– were we always this busy, or, as a collective did we suddenly take on more than we can do (and chew)?

Last night in yoga, my instructor talked about how our perceived lack of time is all a matter of mindset.

Basically, that we make time for the things that matter.

“You made time for yoga,” she said, strolling through the parted sea of down dogs to the back of the studio room.

This is true, I thought, hanging out in down dog with the clarity and calm that always finds me at the studio.

And amidst all of the ceaseless tasks and torturous to-dos, guess what?!

I also made time to make a smoothie bowl.

This Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl only requires 10 minutes and a handful of ingredients, so no excuses, because you’ve got time too, boo.

Banana-free carrot cake shakes with cinnamon roasted carrots, frozen pineapple, and dates. Perfect for an easy breakfast, snack, or post-workout drink.

Happy Sunday, friends!

How was your weekend?

Mine was pretty quiet in the best possible way.

We took the time to tackle a little spring-cleaning and rearrange areas of the condo that weren’t really working.

Sometimes it feels like the kindest thing I can do for myself is to tackle headfirst those big tasks that have been lazing around my TO-DO list for months, you know?

Another kind thing we can do for ourselves to prep for the week is to go bake a giant tray of cinnamon roasted carrots.

Cinnamon roasted carrots?

Yes, to throw in Carrot Cake Shakes!

These Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes are a fun banana-free mix that make it possible for you to have your cake and drink it too.

Banana-free smoothie bowl made with blackberries, beet, and raw walnuts. Packed with root veggies, antioxidants, and protein to start your day!

Hey, you.

Serious question.

Is it smoothie bowl season yet?

Or, perhaps more appropriately, is it socially acceptable smoothie bowl season yet?

Because I’ve been rocking the bowls privately (or maybe not quite so privately) all winter long, and I’m ready for the big debut.

How do you feel about something bright, bold, and BEET?

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with this Blackberry Beet & Walnut Smoothie Bowl (Banana-Free) that’s low sugar, high vibe, and perfectly packed with veg and protein.

This gorgeous fuchsia bowl has everything you need to invite warmer weather and refreshing breakfasts back in season.

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Creamy banana-free shamrock shakes with frozen mango, spinach, avocado, cacao nibs, and refreshing mint. Perfect to reset with greens after a late night!

Did I ever tell you guys that I used to pretend to be a leprechaun for my little sister?

Every year she put out a leprechaun trap carefully crafted with messy Scotch tape loops and alluring marker lines.

She left the trap by her bed, and I snuck in, dumped my piggy bank onto the taped masterpiece, and wrote something back in left-handed leprechaun scrawl.

Something that a fiesty leprechaun would write, like, “OH! You caught me!…Not my gold!”

I don’t know why, but it was important to me that she believed those little rascals were real and that she caught ’em.

This year, we’re catching Minty Mango Chip Shamrock Shakes (Banana-Free!).

No elaborate traps necessary– you just need a blender and lots of greens!

Ready?

By Flora & Vino 6 Comments

Funky PB&J protein shake with berries, nut butter, and beets! Perfect for busy mornings, they’re packed with protein and healthy fats!

Hi everyone!

I’m writing this blog post outside today (in February, I might add!) because it’s a gorgeous 75 degrees and sunny.

It really feels like little Punxsutawney Phil was wrong about this one, you guys.

All of the neighbors are outside walking their dogs in bright tank tops that they probably yanked out of storage just for today.

I don’t blame them. I’d dust off the blender if I hadn’t left it out all winter long…

Whether you’re basking in sunshine or trudging through a cold spell, you’re going to love my newest banana-free shake obsession.

These PBJ & B Shakes require only 5 minutes and 6 ingredients to start your day with a healthy dose of peanut butter and jelly, protein, and veg.

Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Energize with this vegan matcha latte with almond milk and cinnamon. Super creamy and sugar free. All you need is 4 ingredients and 5 minutes!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Today I’m sharing something a little different with you on the blog– it’s a beverage!

I’ve been feeling very “beverage-y” lately, because I’m fighting my second cold of 2018 and need all the warm healing liquids.

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably heard me talk about switching from coffee to matcha in the new year.

It was a pretty seamless transition for me, but in those early stages my matcha latte making skills left a lot to be desired.

I’ve experimented with all the combos since then and I’m excited to share with you my favorite!

This Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte requires only 4 ingredients, 5 minutes, and a short sleepy walk from your bedroom to your kitchen.

Trust me, it’s worth the wake up.

Autumn Winter Squash Mango Smoothie Bowl (Banana-Free)

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Fall-inspired banana-free smoothie bowl packed with roasted winter squash and sweet mango. Perfect for busy weekday meals and post-workout fuel.

Happy November!

As I’m writing this, it’s 74 degrees outside and we have the windows open.

Needless to say, it’s unseasonably warm.

You know what that means…it’s the perfect day to share a new smoothie bowl recipe!

To be honest, after completing my “galaxy bowl” series over the summer, I felt a bit smoothie-bowl uninspired.

Don’t get me wrong, I still ate them, I just felt like all of my new combos were just different variations of the same thing.

That was before I created this Autumn Winter Squash Mango Smoothie Bowl combination that sent those galaxy bowls back to space.

Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shakes

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Easy plant-based protein shakes combining sweet orange, creamy almond, and cozy spices with a warm inviting flavor to fuel your morning!

Remember in my last post when I warned you that a lot of orange things were headed your way…

Well, they’re here, and this recipe is quite literally, orange!

Although it’s almost “officially” fall, it’s been up to almost 80 every day here in Virginia, so I’m still craving shakes and smoothies to start my days.

The mixture of orange, almond butter, and subtle spice creates a wonderfully warm flavor oven though this recipe is of course, cold.

These Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shakes are the perfect easy breakfast or snack that taste like a creamsiscle spiced up for fall.

Hi, friends!

You’ve been loving my Banana Free Smoothie Bowls and Galaxy Bowls (Blue Galaxy Bowl & Green Galaxy Bowl) so today I’m sharing this entirely fruit-free shake recipe.

While I do love fruit in my shakes, I can safely say that I don’t miss them in this one.

These creamy fruit-free shakes are all about low-sugar options when you’re not feeling you’re tutti fruitiest.

Low-Sugar Strawberry Avocado Layer Shakes

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Keep your shakes interesting with strawberry and avocado layers! Enjoy this refreshing combo as a healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert.

I remember the first time I added avocado to my shake.

I tapped my spoon on the edge of the blender, releasing a big green hunk of avocado into the pool of protein powder, fruit, and almond milk.

I didn’t have a good feeling about it.

Then I pressed blend anyway.

Thank goodness I did, because I’ve been adding avocado to my smoothies ever since.

I love starting my day off with healthy fats to stay satiated through the morning and avocado is up there with nut butter for me in my smoothie- additions!

Not only do they provide amazing health benefits, they also make your shakes and smoothies super creamy and decadent.

Like these Low-Sugar Strawberry Avocado Layer Shakes.

Swoon.
