"Every time you eat is an opportunity to nourish your body"
Being an athlete at a professional level, I am constantly using my body to it's maximum. By doing so, as everybody does, I need fuel and a lot of it. It's not only an idea of how much, but the quality as well as how beneficial it is to my active, able body.
By sticking to whole, natural, nourishing foods, I fill my body with fuel that allows me to perform at my best. By sharing my reasons, my highly-recommended performance foods, and some helpful healthy recipes for anybody, I wish to share my love for food and it's importance to us as earthlings.
Without further ado, my beauty breakfast smoothie bowl is one of my favourite lazy Sunday meals. It's so easy, no major preparation is necessary. Another awesome component, it's 100% VEGAN, HIGH ENERGY, and is 100% DELICIOUS.
First you'll need the essentials:
To add on top
1 bartlett pear sliced thinly
vegan, healthy granola of your choice
The smoothie itself
1 bunch of red grapes (about 20)
1C frozen or fresh sliced strawberries
1/2C frozen mango
lots of cinnamon (and I mean LOTS!!)
1C almond milk
1/4C frozen blackberries/blueberries
1/2 scoop vega protein powder - vanilla (optional)
In terms of the granola, I like to add my personal favourite at the moment, which has to be KIND Granola Vanilla Blueberry Clusters with Flax Seeds. It's such a yummy treat-option to add on top of this bowl of yummy, goodness. It can be found at any whole foods and is jam-packed with so many health benefits including:
- All-Natural
- Gluten Free
- Non-GMO
- 100% Whole Grain
- Good source of fibre and omega
It's also stuffed with delicious and nutritious whole grains including gluten free oats, brown rise, buckwheat, amaranth, millet, and quinoa. Thus, also making this bowl GLUTEN-FREE.
So, enjoy a lazy Sunday morning with the comfort of sweet, healthy, beautiful nourishment, but don't forget to enjoy the sun, learn something new, get active, read a bit or just enjoy the day with happiness and love surrounding you.
Up close, the smoothie tastes just as good alone and can even act as a substitute for an ice cream desert thanks to the frozen mango that creates such a smooth, soft serve texture.
