Peanut Butter & Banana Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding

Creamy peanut butter & banana chocolate chip chia pudding that’s naturally sweetened with banana. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast or a snack!

Hi, friends!

This week I officially started my structured marathon training.

Sure, I’ve been running this year with the marathon in mind, but I haven’t been following a *plan*.

And if you know me, you know I *love* a good plan.

So this week after getting back from Germany I started the Nike Marathon training plan.

Initially, it looks scary, but broken down it’s really just 2 shorter runs per week and one longer endurance run.

I’m also excited to try out my new hydration pack and hydration tablets into my training!

Since I’ll be running more, I’m going to need more healthy snacks and meals.

Bananas are wonderful for post-running fuel, so I’ve been enjoying them in fun ways after jogging into my kitchen.

This Peanut Butter & Banana Chocolate Chip Chia Pudding is the latest in my banana bonanza.

This delicious chia pudding is perfect to meal prep for warmer weather!

Blackberry Baked Quinoa

Blackberry baked quinoa baked in an hour for a delicious summer meal prep breakfast. Serve warm or chilled with your favorite toppings!

This past weekend I auditioned at a local studio for a potential yoga teaching position!

When I completed YTT200 back in 2020, I said it was for the personal development.

“I just want to learn more about yoga and more about myself,” I said to anyone who asked about my intentions to teach.

And I did.

But in doing so, I realized that the gift of yoga was one that I actually loved sharing, even if it made me sweat and shake standing at the front of the studio.

The nerves quickly melted away on Sunday as I lead the students through a flow of my creation.

When we shared a collective inhale and exhaled “OMMMM” after Savasana I was *proud* of myself.

Regardless of the outcome, it was deliciously satisfying to challenge myself to reach for more.

You know what else is deliciously satisfying?

Quinoa…for breakfast!

This Blackberry Baked Quinoa celebrates berry season in this one-pan meal that’s perfect for a summer meal prep!

PB&J Yogurt Parfait

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy PB&J Yogurt Parfait made with all-natural peanut butter, fresh strawberries, and plant-based yogurt. Serve with granola for a fun meal prep breakfast.

I’ve been on a *huge* peanut butter and jelly kick recently, friends.

I think I approach the classic combination of fruit and nut butter with more curiosity after M explained that it really isn’t a thing in Germany.

It’s hard for me to divorce the nostalgia of childhood from mixing sweet jam and nut butter…in any form.

With berry season well on its way, I thought I should get a head start on making recipes bursting with berries.

Whether you grew up on PB&J or are entirely new to the combination, you’re going to love this post.

These PB&J Yogurt Parfait are my latest breakfast obsession.

They’re so easy to meal prep in advance or layer together in less than 5 minutes the morning.

Strawberry Mango Smoothie Bowl

Summer-y strawberry mango smoothie bowl made with frozen cauliflower and cashew butter. Serve with your favorite toppings for a warm weather breakfast!

Are smoothie bowls still a thing?

I don’t see them much on social media anymore, but I know the local juice shops still sell them.

But they’re so much cheaper and more fun to make at home!

This time of year I always start making them again, dusting off my Vitamix and filling it with fresh frozen things.

There’s something about the novelty of basically eating ice cream for breakfast that always charms me.

Especially after a sweaty workout on a warm day.

This Strawberry Mango Smoothie Bowl is my latest favorite, made with frozen strawberries and mango, cashew butter, and vegan protein powder.

It’s light and sweet yet filling and packed with plant-based protein, and nourishment for the day ahead.

Grab your blender and some frozen fruit and your favorite crunchy toppings!

Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats

Key lime pie overnight oats with lots of lime, yogurt, and creamy avocado for color. Serve with blueberries and granola. Perfect for meal prep!

How are the spring time allergies, buds?

It looked like it was snowing today, there was so much plant and tree matter flying through the air.

This is my first time navigating allergy season in Maryland, and I was really hopeful that the sniffles might just…skip me.

My symptoms are mostly triggered by those awful orange oak strings that litter the streets and sidewalks.

So that was probably wishful thinking because our back porch faces a wooded area filled with oaks.

Doh.

I’m limiting my time outdoors a lot more than I’d like and showering in the evenings to get the tree stuff off of me.

It’s hard because this is the time of year when it’s the *perfect* temperature to do all things outdoors.

However, I know something that tastes like spring and summer straight from the fridge.

These key lime pie overnight oats are made with lots of lime, yogurt, and creamy avocado for a sunny meal-prepped breakfast!

Easy tofu scramble plate made with extra-firm tofu, vegetables, and nutritional yeast served with avocado and berries. Make it for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!

Hi, friends!

I’m really excited about this recipe because it’s one of the breakfast staples in my house.

If you’ve spent any time in the F&V breakfast archives, you know that I’m a consistent sweet breakfast eater.

But whenever I *do* make the first meal of the day savory, it’s *always* with a tofu scramble!

This tofu scramble, to be exact.

So today I’m sharing the long overdue tofu scramble recipe that I’ve made, tweaked, and loved over the past few years.

My Easy Tofu Scramble Plate is made with extra-firm tofu, garden vegetables, and nutritional yeast.

Make it on the stovetop in less than 30 minutes for a protein-packed breakfast, brunch, or dinner!

Single Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Single Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie made with oats, banana, and dark chocolate chips. Bakes in 25 minutes for a fun breakfast!

Sometimes reality TV is weirdly comforting to me.

The day I first made this a single serve breakfast cookie I was simultaneously binge-watching Love Is Blind Season 2 on Netflix.

Judge me, but watching these “love stories” unfold from the comfort of my living room was wildly cathartic.

And inspired me to make an equally cozy baked breakfast.

I alternated between sitting on the TV couch and standing by the oven to check on the cookie progress.

When it was done I enjoyed mouthfuls of cookie while watching drama unfold on the TV screen.

I’ve made plenty of breakfast cookies on Flora & Vino, but I’ve never made a *single* breakfast cookie.

This Single Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookie is made with, oats, banana, and dark chocolate chips.

Each cookie has all of the healthy nutrition of a bowl of oats, shaped and baked into a crave-able cookie!

It bakes in just 22 minutes with 7 ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Lemon blueberry cashew granola made oil-free with creamy cashew butter and lightly sweet with maple syrup. Bursting with dried blueberries and lemon zest!

We are a granola household, friends.

It’s my favorite crunchy topping to any breakfast situation.

Usually I’m happy to buy and support my store bought favorites (there are so many good ones!), but when I make store bought granola, I do it with *feeling*.

I think M would be happy if we never bought store bought granola again.

Which I might be on board with, if this Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola didn’t disappear quite so fast from the cabinets.

He *loves* the stuff I make, because we can control the ingredients, texture, and sweetness.

In this house, we like chunky, lightly sweet, granola with lots of nuts, seeds, and berries.

This Lemon Blueberry Cashew Granola is bursting with dried blueberries and lemon zest with an optional coconut flake crunch.

It’s the vegan, gluten-free, and no-oil-added you need on everything this Spring!

Carrot Cake Almond Flour Muffins

Carrot cake almond flour muffins made with almond milk yogurt, shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Perfect to meal prep for breakfast or snacking.

I have my first sunburn of the year, friends.

The warm pink glow on my forehead is a reminder of happy hours spent outdoors on Saturday.

This past weekend I hiked the “Difficult Run” 10 mile trail in Virginia with friends.

It was strange to sweat and squint in the sunshine; my body and brain adjusting to the feeling of actually being HOT.

It felt so good, despite the fact that my face probably got a little more Vitamin D than necessary.

As of yesterday, it’s officially Spring, so I’m testing all of the seasonal flavors in F&V kitchen.

These Carrot Cake Almond Flour Muffins are my current favorite seasonal snack.

They’re made plant-based and gluten-free with super-fine almond flour and old-fashioned oats.

They’ve got the best taste and lots of texture, made with shredded carrots, walnuts, and raisins.

Green Tahini Date Shake

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Deliciously green plant-based protein shake with creamy tahini, Medjool dates, and a big handful of leafy greens. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack!

Did I tell you that I’m training for a marathon?

You might also find it amusing that I *just* completed my first two runs of 2022 this March.

As warm weather teases us here in Maryland, I’m slowly getting my running momentum back.

Those 26 miles seem unreachable right now, but that’s kind of the point, right?

After my half marathon a few years ago, I couldn’t imagine running anything further.

Which is why I want to do it; to prove to myself that I’m stronger, more resilient, more capable than I could imagine.

Well, that, and because I love running.

Needless to say, for the remainder of the year, I’m going to need all of the fuel.

This Green Tahini Date Shake is the fresh shamrock-colored shake you need for Saint Patrick’s Day.

It’s got creamy tahini, Medjool dates, a big handful of leafy greens, and plenty of plant-based protein.

Let’s shake things up this spring!
