Peach Raspberry SunButter Smoothie Bowl

Peach Raspberry SunButter Smoothie Bowl with frozen peaches, raspberries, and a spoonful of SunButter! Perfect for a quick breakfast.

Let’s talk about peachy perfection for a hot second.

I’m heading to New York today on a business trip, and sometimes before I travel I do this thing where I idealize the trip in my head and try to make all aspects of it “perfect”.

You know, imagining yourself in all of your best outfits, with that perfect hair and makeup day and your best attributes all lit up and glowy, inside and out.

The best version of yourself.

But then I remembered, amidst the hustle of packing today, my anticipation colliding with that promised future moment of perfection that never came, that there is NO PERFECT.

Except for this Peach Raspberry SunButter Smoothie Bowl… it’s pretty darn close.

Stay in the imperfectly perfect present moment with this smoothie bowl for the rest of the summer.

It’s banana-free, low in sugar, and packed with everything you need to start your day well and good.

I got several requests for recipes with peaches on Instagram, and….not to bore you with another banana-free smoothie bowl, but this bowl has been my favorite this summer!

If you’re all about fresh peach summer produce like I’ve been lately, you’re going to LOVE this smoothie bowl!

I love adding frozen peaches to my smoothie bowls because they’re a bit lower in sugar and add a subtle sweetness to your combo.

Per my perfectionist persona, I had to try multiple variations of this bowl to find my most favorite version.

The combination of sweet peaches and tart raspberries with a spoonful of SunButter is perfect for a fresh summer breakfast!

You’re going to love blending up this bowl and watching it turn a pretty pink.

Stone Fruit Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Tahini for a hearty breakfast packed with seasonal fruit and a delicious maple tahini drizzle.

While breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, it’s also the one my taste buds voted most likely to be predictable.

Yours too?

I know, it’s hard.

You wake up and want the tried and true.

But here’s an idea– let’s talk about sweet potatoes, sweet peaches, and maple tahini.

Are you drooling yet?

Snap out of your breakfast rut with these Stone Fruit Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Tahini for easy plant-based fuel!

I went through a major sweet potato phase about two years ago where I was eating a sweet potato a day.

If I got to the end of the day sans sweet pot, you bet your bottom dollar I loaded one up for dessert.

I mean, they’re hard not to love, and act as the perfect base for any meal.

They’re oh so versatile, comforting, and filling.

You can go sweet or savory; simple or extravagant.

Lately, I’ve been craving them for breakfast loaded up with a hearty mix of fruit, nut or seed butter, and yogurt.

You’re going to love these Stone Fruit Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Maple Tahini.

They’re sweet, satiating, and packed with all of my favorites.

Not to mention fiber, protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs.

Strawberry Coconut Almond Butter Overnight Oats

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Easy overnight oats with strawberries, shredded coconut, and a spoonful of almond butter. Prep several jars in advance for easy weekday breakfast on the go!

Do you partake in “self care Sunday”?

Self care is all the rage lately– putting yourself first, saying no to things that don’t serve you, choosing to do a face mask and drink kombucha when you *should* be folding laundry.

So I’m going to throw it out there for the taking– I think the best way to pamper yourself is with overnight oats!

Because, hear me out, what are overnight oats but a delicious gift from present to future self?

And my future self looooooves gift.

These Strawberry Coconut Almond Butter Overnight Oats come together with a handful of ingredients you can mix in advance for easy breakfasts on the go!

I did my self care Sunday pretty late last week, per usual.

It must have been close to 9 PM when I pulled down three mason jars and apathetically measured out oats, almond milk, chia seed, and shredded coconut.

Eying them under the artificial kitchen lights, I decided they needed something, so I tossed in a big spoonful of roasted almond butter.

Because nut butter makes everything better.

I placed them in the fridge, fell asleep, and forgot about them.

Monday morning, amidst the fast pace of a new week, I remembered said oats, covered them in diced strawberries and was so enamored with the flavor combination that I could have KISSED Sunday night me.

Thanks, Sunday night Lauren, you’re a real gem.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t Sunday again.

I’m writing this blog post from our community pool.

It’s Sunday and I wanted to bring my work outdoors.

This sounds like a reasonable thing, yes?

Aside from the fact that I’m typing this on tiny half visible keys over shrieks and splashes of kids and the gossipy couple that sat down in the chair next to me (out of all the seats!).

I really can’t believe it’s August already, can you?

So I keep harassing myself with not so gentle reminders to get outside and enjoy the sunshine while it’s here.

But enough about me– can we talk about breakfast?

Let’s talk about these Vegan & Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins.

Correction: The BEST Vegan & Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins!

They only require one bowl, a serious love of blueberries, and a mug of something warm to enjoy them with.

Blackberry Basil Yogurt Toast

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Blackberry Basil Yogurt Toast with yogurt and fresh blackberries! Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and basil for a fresh combo that’s perfect for summer.

Back when I worked in an office, I used to pack slices of bread in my purple lunchbox to toast in the break-room.

Then I proceeded to assemble different colorful combinations at my desk, praying that no one stopped by to ask…”what is THAT?”

I got that question a lot when it was lunchtime in the office.

That, my dear friends, is a Blackberry Basil Yogurt Toast and it’s fan-freaking-tastic.

Ready to take your toast game up a notch and make all of your coworkers jealous (and maybe slightly confused) in the process?

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!

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.

Turmeric Cauliflower Rice Bowls

By Flora & Vino 4 Comments

Turmeric Cauliflower Rice with “eggy” tofu scramble. Enjoy for a protein packed breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Serve with your favorite add-ons!

Hi friends!

How was your Fourth of July?

We took Harper to her first fireworks show, and, to be honest, she seemed a lot more interested in the pizza Dan was eating than the bursts of color exploding into the night sky.

Priorities.

Like mother like dogger, right?

My priority lately has been colorful cauliflower rice.

Specifically, these Turmeric Cauliflower Rice Bowls with “Eggy” Tofu.

They’re packed with bright colored veggies, anti-inflammatory turmeric, and some seriously good tasting tofu.

Ah, cauliflower rice.

A definite staple in my meal rotation.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good cauliflower rice burrito bowl, which is really my (and probably yours, too, right?) go-to cauliflower rice recipe.

Lately I’ve been doing this thing when I don’t have dinner, I just rip open a pack of frozen cauliflower rice into the skillet and LOAD. IT. UP.

It’s totally normal to eat an entire bag of cauliflower rice for dinner, right?

Lie to me.

Anyway, I decided that I was tired of the whole Mexican thing, and decided to go for a different take on things with a shake of turmeric and the addition of a colorful vegetable blend.

I had tofu left in the fridge, so I made a quick scramble on the side for protein and then threw both creations together.

The most random meal ever, right?

But this is how the best recipes are born, buds.

Roasted Strawberry Yogurt Bowls

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Roasted strawberry yogurt bowls topped with roasted strawberries! Roast your extra berries and enjoy for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Good morning and happy Sunday, loves.

I’m having one of those “get sh$!” done kind of mornings where I tackle all of those things on my TO-DO list that I didn’t realize were brain bog until they’re gone.

Whew.

The week feels lighter and it hasn’t even started yet.

In this same commitment to summer simplicity, I’m keeping my breakfasts light and breezy lately.

These Roasted Strawberry Yogurt Bowls are the perfect way to use up extra berries and create a fun spin on your (occasionally) too predictable yogurt bowl.

All you need is an excess of berries, your favorite yogurt, and some fun mix-ins!

Is your fridge overflowing with fresh berries like mine?

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I LOVE berries.

They’re my favorite fruit because they tend to be a little lower sugar and always make my mornings feel a little brighter.

Usually I throw them on my yogurt bowls fresh and simple (delicious), but sometimes I like to mix things up with some heat.

We went strawberry picking a few weeks ago and I came home with way too many berries.

What’s a berry lover to do with an excess of fresh strawberries?

…Roast ’em.
