Cacao Berry Superfood Smoothie Bowl

One of my favorite, quick breakfasts to make at home is a green smoothie bowl topped with fresh fruit and when I really want to indulge I mix it up with raw cacao for a rich, chocolatey flavor. I also throw in a variety of other superfoods that are jam-packed with nutrients including avocado, which creates a thick, creamy consistency like chocolate pudding, then I top it off with berries, hemp seed, cacao nibs and coconut flakes. The combo of the chocolate flavor and berries is a match-made in heaven! This is definitely not the smoothie bowl to eat daily …

Cocoa Almond “Nutella”

If you’re a Nutella lover, you’ll probably know that love for the chocolaty hazlenut spread can sometimes borderline on obsession and once upon a time I was utterly obsessed with Nutella … Until I discovered Trader Joe’s Cocoa Almond Spread which made for an equally delicious and healthier alternative since almonds have less calories, less fat, more protein, more fiber and more calcium than Hazlenuts. Recently I tried my hand at a homemade version of almond “Nutella” and it turned out so delicious so I thought I’d share the recipe here.

I started with 2 cups of raw almonds which …

The Best Green Smoothie Bowl Recipe Ever

Once upon a time I used to never eat breakfast. For years, the only thing remotely close for me was a cup of coffee on the way to work.
