Who else watched the royal wedding over the weekend?!

I didn’t set my alarm to watch like some of my friends did, but I might have teared up a little while making my lazy Sunday breakfast when Prince Harry and Meghan *finally* embraced.

I milled about the kitchen listening to the light commentary that followed on the news stations all morning, feeling good about the whole affair and the state of the world and all that.

Can we have more moments like that, please?

If you’re having some major royal wedding withdrawals too, it’s cool, because I have a royal meal idea for you this week.

These Sweet Potato & Forbidden Rice Power Bowls are the perfect plant-based combination to fuel your extraordinary life!

Did I tell you that I’m embarking on my 200-hr yoga teacher training this fall?

I’ve been feeling for a while now that “this is the year”,  and when I opened up the monthly newsletter from my yoga studio (something I never do) and saw the notice about the training this fall, I emailed back immediately for more information.

It starts in September.

It’s happening.

I’ve never felt so strong, powerful, and fit as I do after accomplishing a sweaty Vinyasa flow, and I’m excited to learn more about the practice and to share it with others.

As with any active lifestyle, what you choose to fuel you is equally as important to keep those vibes high.

Triple Berry Banana Muffins

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

      Oatmeal, berry, and banana muffins naturally sweetened and packed with protein and fiber. Perfect to meal prep for snacks and breakfast.

Triple Berry Banana Muffins stacked in bowl with side of triple berries in glass bowl and one muffin split open

I used to have a blog called The Vegan Muffin Woman where I only created and shared muffins and cupcake photos and recipes.

Basically anything made in a muffin tin was fair game.

Sometimes when I make muffins now I remember TVMW and I have to laugh.

I remember the struggle to get excited about the same shape every post.

These Triple Berry Banana Muffins, though, I wouldn’t mind seeing an a weekly basis.

Did you ever eat the Entenmann’s Little Bites Muffins?

Those mini muffin packs were one of my favorite snacks, and blueberry was by far the best flavor.

I remember ripping open a packet and being overwhelmed by that sugary sweet blueberry bakery smell.

MMM.

Well, these Triple Berry Banana Muffins are even better than that because they smell amazing *and* they’re amazing for you.

Golden Beet Protein Pancakes with Easy Raspberry Compote

By Flora & Vino Leave a Comment

Fuel with these golden beet protein pancakes made with sweet golden beet and protein powder paired with an easy sugar-free raspberry compote. 

Golden Beet Protein Pancakes with Easy Raspberry Compote These Golden Beet Pancakes with Easy Raspberry Compote weren’t planned.

I was in the process of making regular protein pancakes and that gorgeous golden beet (see photo below) in my produce drawer caught my eye.

And then a cordial conversation with said beet ensued and it went something like this.

“Hello, gorgeous.

You’re stunning.

But I think you’d be even prettier blended in a protein pancake and then smothered in red raspberry sauce.

Say yes?”

…..

I took that as a yes and got to protein pancake-making.

A spring macro bowl packed with seasonal spring veggies. Oil-free, gluten-free, and packed with plant protein! Perfect for meal prep lunches.

Spring Macro Bowl in large bowl with asparagus, lemon, artichoke hearts, sliced radishes, chickpeas, peas, quinoa, and mint

Happy Spring, friends!

It’s always that last stretch of winter that really feels the longest and the coldest, isn’t it?

The days are finally starting to feel longer and warmer and I’m dreaming about vacations and outdoor adventures and all of the seasonal green veggies.

This Spring Macro Bowl is the partial realization of those dreams (where’s the beach and fruity drink?), and culmination of my favorite spring veggies in one giant bowl.

Produce that’s in season not only looks better, but tastes better.

I get a lot of my recipe inspiration based on what’s available, so I packed this bowl with all of my spring finds.

You’re going to love the variety of textures and tastes with bright bursts of herbs and tangy lemon.

From crunchy radish to creamy artichoke, this bowl really has it all.

Because my face looked like that once too.

But now I’m chewing on these Peanut Butter & Basil Bliss Balls in pure peanut butter basil bliss.

Paprika Power Bowl with Apple Cider Tahini

By Flora & Vino 1 Comment

Power bowl with paprika roasted veggies paired in a creamy Apple Cider Tahini Dressing. Prepare the ingredients in advance for easy lunches!

Paprika Power Bowl served in bowl with Apple Cider Tahini

Big bowls of everything are all I want lately!

After I mix everything together with a fork and knife, bits of kale and veg always overflow and my heart aches at the sight of them lying shipwrecked on the countertop.

This Paprika Power Bowl with Apple Cider Tahini has major overflow potential, because it has everything.

It’s got texture, crunch, savory and sweet, and a creamy dressing that ties it all together.

Leafy greens, ancient grains, roasted veg, protein packed legumes, hearty nuts, sweet dried fruit, a killer oil-free dressing, and a dusting of seeds!

Do you think I could have fit anything else in there?

Believe me, I tried.
