Minty Mango Chip Shamrock Shakes

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Creamy minty mango chip shamrock shakes with frozen mango, spinach, avocado, cacao nibs, and 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!

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

Ready?

Peanut Butter Jelly & Beet Shakes

By Flora & Vino 8 Comments

Funky PB&J protein shake with berries, nut butter, and beets! Peanut Butter Jelly & Beet Shakes packed with protein and healthy fats!

Peanut Butter Jelly & Beet Shakes served in mason jars topped with peanut butter and freeze-dried raspberries with straws. Spoon of peanut butter on the side with a red towel and scattered berries.

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 Peanut Butter Jelly & Beet 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 served in mugs with hand grabbing one by Flora & Vino

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 days of matcha latte making my skills left a lot to be desired.

I’ve experimented with so many combinations 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 9 Comments

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

Autumn Winter Squash Mango Smoothie Bowl (Banana-Free)

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 3 Comments

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

Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shakes served on blue paper with wooden board with orange halves and almonds

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 creamsicle spiced up for fall.

Every morning growing up after hobbling down the stairs in my pink robe with a dazed expression on my face and my “crazy” hair, I poured a glass of orange juice.

Did anyone else make a habit of this, too?

My family and I used to say, between sips of OJ, that a day without orange juice was a day without sunshine.

I loved gulping down that golden orange liquid to begin the day on a sweet note.

Unless of course, the orange juice had pulp in it.

Detecting the texture of orange chunks while swallowing has always made me want to gag.

Who else is unabashedly team no pulp?

I’ve since gotten away from juices and tend more towards whole fruit consumption first thing in the morning because my body does better with lower sugar contents to avoid blood sugar crashes.

Morning scenes still mirror the old days though, only now I stumble down the stairs in a neutral robe (graduated colors from pink to black because #adulting) and pour myself a Spiced Orange Almond Protein Shake.

Fruit-Free “Fake Out” Shakes

By Flora & Vino 3 Comments

Fruit-Free “Fake Out” Shakes are a salad in milkshake form. Low-sugar shakes that taste like dessert but are packed with veg and protein!

Fruit-Free "Fake Out" Shakes served in tall glasses topped with chocolate tahini and granola crumble by Flora & Vino

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.

Sometimes I want more of a savory breakfast, especially if I hit the dark chocolate hard the night before, ya know?

I really didn’t know what to call this masterpiece because nothing seemed to accurately describe their awesome-ness.

Finally, a friend on Instagram suggested that I call them “Fake Out” Shakes because they look like dessert but are essentially a salad in milkshake form.

Brilliant.

These Fruit-Free “Fake Out” Shakes pack a whopping 2 cups of frozen veg in each serving, plus healthy fats and plenty of protein.

Can your salad boast that?

Low-Sugar Strawberry Avocado Layer Shakes

By Flora & Vino 5 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.

Cherry Berry Spritzers by Flora & Vino

I’m in total berry mode right now, so don’t mind me while I throw berries into quite literally everything.

This time of year the nights seem longer and calmer, and I love to enjoy them outdoors, with some good food and drink, of course.

These Cherry Berry Spritzers are the perfect excuse to use up all of those fresh or frozen berries left in your fridge to make a cool beverage without any added sugars.

This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
