Cran-Pomegranate Kombucha Mocktail

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy kombucha-based mocktail with a pomegranate cranberry twist. Perfect for a festive fruity drink that’s packed with probiotics.

It’s a known fact that anything poured into a wine or a cocktail glass immediately makes it taste ten times fancier.

This past Sunday I wanted to treat myself but didn’t really feel like wine so I did just this-

Sipping slowly on the reddish pink effervescent liquid instantly made me feel calm and cared for.

This Cran-Pomegranate Kombucha Mocktail is just the drink you need to treat yourself this holiday season!

Made with just a handful of simple ingredients, it’s easy to mix up for festivities and hard not to love.

Grab a pretty glass and get ready to fill it with red & green and probiotics.

Lower Sugar Pumpkin Pie Shakes (Banana-Free)

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Creamy Pumpkin Pie Shake with lower sugar than your orange drink! Lightly sweetened with Medjool dates and fluffy from steamed and frozen cauliflower.

Lower Sugar Pumpkin Pie Shake (Banana-Free)

I wore a jacket today for the first time this season on an evening walk with Harper around the neighborhood.

Dan was stoically shivering beside me, despite my solid attempts to get him to bring a jacket.

“It’s not that cold”, he argued, grasping elbow to elbow around his middle like a protective barrier to keep out the chill.

Typical. 

The air was cool and crisp for the first time this season, and I found myself craving all of the pumpkin…everything.

This launched a discussion about PSLs (Pumpkin Spice Lattes), both of us agreeing that they really are too sweet to be good.

But then most pre-made pumpkin things this time of year taste too sweet to my taste buds.

My thoughts are this…if you can’t taste the pumpkin…then what’s the point?

The point is that you need to make these these Lower Sugar Pumpkin Pie Shakes, friends!

They’re packed with pumpkin, protein, and nourishment to get you moving and grooving into fall– hopefully with a jacket on.

Low-Sugar Blueberry Zucchini Almond Butter Shake

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Easy low-sugar shake that’s packed with protein and hidden zucchini! Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack using leftover zucchini from the fridge!

Low-Sugar Blueberry Zucchini Almond Butter Shake

If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d be steaming and freezing zucchini to throw into shakes and then blogging about it, I would have laughed in your face.

I’m not sure what part would have been funnier– the zucchini in the blender part or the being a full time blogger part.

Both would have elicited a big hearty belly laugh.

But here I am, friends, taking my steamed and frozen zucchini and the blogging details v. seriously.

Exhibit A, this Low-Sugar Blueberry Zucchini Almond Butter Shake, is no laughing matter.

It’s super creamy, packed with healthy fats, protein, veggies, and low in sugar, with the most luscious Wendy’s frosty consistency.

Jackpot.

Iced Almond Matcha Latte with Coconut Butter

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy Iced Almond Matcha Latte with a coconut twist! Lightly sweetened with maple syrup and super creamy with the addition of coconut butter.

Iced Almond Milk Matcha Latte

Are you a morning person?

I used to be, but at some point I fell off the bandwagon and getting back on has been struggle city.

Dan’s brain starts working before mine in the mornings.

He can wake up and instantly start processing big things like finances, weekend plans, and household maintenance all before the sun has had a chance to shine.

I think we’ve come to an understanding, though.

He’s fine to mull these things over in silence, but they can’t be uttered to me until I’ve had at least one sip of my Iced Almond Matcha Latte.

With the weather getting warmer, I switched up my favorite Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte for this cold classic!

Refreshing, lightly sweet, with an optional coconut butter twist.

It takes less time than the hot version does– and neither Dan or I (or you, dear friend) can argue with me getting my caffeine faster!

Let’s do it!

Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl (Fruit-Free)

By Flora & Vino 5 Comments

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

Chocolate Chia Chip Yam Smoothie Bowl (Fruit-Free)

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.

Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes (Banana-Free)

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

Cinnamon Roasted Carrot Cake Shakes (Banana-Free) by Flora & Vino

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.

Blackberry Beet & Walnut Smoothie Bowl (Banana-Free)

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

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

Blackberry Beet & Walnut Smoothie Bowl (Banana-Free)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.

Minty Mango Chip Shamrock Shakes (Banana-Free)

By Flora & Vino 4 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!

Minty Mango Chip Shamrock Shakes (Banana-Free)

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?

PBJ & B Shakes (Banana-Free)

By Flora & Vino 8 Comments

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

PBJ & Beet Shakes (Banana-Free) by Flora & Vino

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!

Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte

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.

I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the I started teaching yoga again this spring. In the midst of cookbook edits and stunning spring weather, I felt called to unfurl my Manduka mat and talk my friends and family through a feel-good flow.
-
At first, I felt rusty; stumbling through cues and postures. What’s that pose, again? What’s that body part? I forgot options; I forgot pacing, I forgot to balance active poses with rejuvenating rest.
-
But I’m starting to get it back. The confidence that comes with repetition. The joy that comes from seeing a student let go, watching tangible tension melt away; I’m an audience to mindfulness.
-
I wanted to become a yoga teacher because it felt like the single greatest gift I could give to another human being. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the greatest gift that I give to myself.
-
As I get back into teaching, I’m reminded that crafting yoga classes is a beautiful, delicate artform. One that I’m excited and eager to get better at.
-
I teach vinyasa yoga—A creative flow. I’m currently working on theming my classes—conveying a subtle suggested message through movement, music, and words.
-
Last Friday I taught my book club and I spent hours working on the soundtrack and the sequence. I shifted around openings and contractions, counted things in threes, and shuffled songs in a clear crescendo towards peak posture, softening into savasana.
-
It reminded me of the English classes I took in high school. We tirelessly underlined paperback books, searching for themes, motifs, and expressive language with a pink highlighter and red ballpoint pen.
-
Writing a yoga sequence is kind of like that, but in reverse. This time I’m the author, the creator, the conductor, sprinkling in symbols and allusion and foreshadowing to guide towards the truest version of you.
-
I strive to talk through the poses with expressive language and concise cues. Watching for reactions, feeling what the collective is feeling, working with them to achieve a union of mind, body, and spirit.
-
That’s yoga.
-
What makes a *good* yoga class for you? Please comment and share! I’m hoping to open up classes to my community eventually. 😘

ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hi ALMOND BUTTER TAGALONGS. 🍫I had a discussion hiking this weekend about Girl Scouts, which led us to think about Girl Scout cookies.

The recipe is very easy to make with simple whole foods ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
