Green Smoothie

Hello,

This smoothie is an all time favorite of mine!  I drink it almost daily as part of my breakfast.  It provides energy and more importantly all my greens for the day!

2 cups of greens - I use Kale and Spinach.  Spinach is the mildest tasting green but if you are ready for an adventure, try Kale.  Kale is a superfood and so good for you!

2 Tablespoons of Hemp Seeds or Chia Seeds

1 Banana - Frozen if you prefer a thicker smoothie

1/2 Cup Frozen Mango or Pineapple

1 Tablespoon of Coconut Butter or Coconut Oil (good fat and provides a bit of substance)

1 1/2 or 2 cups of Coconut Water

1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar - Optional

Blend all together and enjoy.  I am using a powerful blender however any blender would work.  You will need to blend in batches to completely grind the greens to a smooth texture!

Drink Umbrella optional! :) 

Bobbi's Buddha Bowl

Hello,

Clean eating has officially started and I am kicking off the New Year with my buddha bowl.  This was delicious, filling and easy to make!  I call that a win-win situation!  Those looking for nutrition content, I entered all ingredients into my My Fitness Pal and one serving based on 6 servings is: 357 calories per serving!  

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, chop zucchini, red bell pepper, onion/garlic, and butternut squash into large chunks.  Toss with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast until cooked and browned.  I pan sautéed the tofu with olive oil and mixed with cooked veggies prior to serving.  

Cook quinoa just as you would rice (one part grain/two parts water).  I find quinoa cooks perfect in a rice cooker….comes out nice a fluffy!  
You can of course use brown rice, faro or any other grain of your preference. 

To assemble, layer cooked quinoa in bowl, add roasted veggies & tofu and top with chopped avocado and a drizzle of Sriracha!  Enjoy!
