Why Not Whip It Up: Smoothie Bowl 10.25.20 - UnPumpkin

While Halloween is my favoritest of holidays, I've been having a hard time getting into the spirit with the current Mercury retrograde, amongst other distractions in my own life as well as in the macrocosm of my/our collective environment. Nonetheless , I wanted to be at least a little festive and conjured up this masquerading UnPumpkin smoothie bowl.

Smoothie Base
-1/2C frozen strawberries

-1/2C frozen bananas
-1 scoop Vega Sport vanilla protein

-1 scoop Vital Proteins Marine Collagen
-3/4C filtered h2o

Toppings
-2-4Tb chia, flax and hempseed mix

-

I topped it all off with some leftover store-bought frosted chocolate cake.

What fun and aesthetically festive holiday recipes do you have up your sleeve?

Why Not Whip It Up: Smoothie Bowl 10.11.20 - Not So Sippy Cup

A m I p e r h a p s the only one who feels perfectly fine about having sweet things, especially for breakfast, as long as I have protein incorporated? Technically speaking, protein helps slow down the digestion of carbs and therefore helps to combat the undesirable sugar crash. This weekโ€™s bowl is a little controversial, perhaps blasphemous for naturalists? This brings me to my next question; if my smoothie bowl is in a cup but I consume it with a spoon, is it still a smoothie bowl? Best not to torture the mind for too long with these ponderings and instead, make yourself a smoothie bowl thing and enjoy it.

Smoothie base
-1/2C frozen strawberries
-1/2 small avocado
-1/2 scoop Four Sigmatic Superfood Protein
-1 scoop Vital Proteins Marine Collagen
-1C filtered h2o

Toppings
-1/2C (or however much you damn please) Natureโ€™s Path Organic Whole Oโ€™s
-turmeric cloud chia
-1 Pirouette

All things considered, without any added sugar this actually isnโ€™t very sweet.

I like to use the Four Sigmatic in my rotation because
I incorporate collagen protein here and there as often as I can becauseโ€ฆ aging by the standards of time and physical space I tried bovine collagen protein for awhile but I found that I had trouble with digestion, always seemed to make me feel like I had a brick in my stomach. My intestines seem to be smiling much easier with marine sourced collagen protein.
