My life has been insane with the big move but in the BEST WAY. We’re officially at the new home and hardly anything is packed but you know one of the first things I’ll be making in our brand new kitchen is a vibrant superfood smoothie.

What keeps me energized and active every day, especially during major life transitions, is superfoods! Incorporating greens and superfoods whenever I can, even when I can’t get a workout in, is really what keeps me looking and feeling amazing! Between the açai, the matcha, and the Green Dream...I think we had our bases covered! It may sound like a weird combo, but that’s usually when the magic happens! It was the perfect post-workout treat!

Gather This:

1 frozen banana

1 cup nut milk

1 packet of Sambazon Supergreens Açai (so yum and pure magic!)

½ frozen mango

1 tsp matcha

1 tbsp Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend

1 tbsp Coconut Dream Coconut Butter

1 tsp honey or preferred sweetness

Do This:

Blend all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender

Add the smoothie mixture to a bowl and top with your favorite goodies!

One of my joys in life is making my own versions of treats that most people would buy at their local market, and ice cream is no exception. Homemade ice cream is super easy to make, especially when you’ve got an ice cream machine that does most of the work for you. The best part of making homemade ice cream is the variety of ingredients that can make it healthier and more delicious than what you buy at the store. 

I especially love adding our superfood blends and any one of them can be used depending on what you feel you need or are in the mood for! It’s all about your intuition. Lately I’ve been obsessed with this Berry Bliss version that I’ve perfected over the years, especially during the summer season when all my body is craving is fruits and ingredients filled with vitamin C. The tart natural flavors of goji berry, pomegranate, and acai within Berry Bliss complement syrupy-sweet strawberries and fragrant rosewater so perfectly. It’s a simple recipe that takes less than an hour to make with an ice cream maker. If you don’t have one, there are plenty of no-churn ice cream methods online - or, you can pour the base into a popsicle mold and enjoy this treat on a stick. This method is especially great for kiddos!

Gather This: 

1 tsp rose water

1/2 can full-fat coconut milk

1 tbsp Berry Bliss Superfood + Protein Powder 

1 tbsp Berry Bee Honey 

1/2 cup frozen strawberries

Do This: 

In a high powered blender, mix all ingredients until pureed with no lumps remaining. Add to a chilled ice cream maker or popsicle mold. If using an ice cream maker, the mixture should be ready in about 20 minutes. Popsicles may take anywhere from 2-4 hours to solidify, depending on the temperature of your freezer. Garnish with your favorite berries, rose petals, or a small mint leaf.

There’s a stigma around breakfast that you need to eat light, eat small and eat simple. Well, that’s NOT for everyone and there are some days where you wake up with a serious hunger and you want all the savory goodness you could imagine. Veggie fried rice with a quality protein like fried egg or tempeh and a bit of greens is absolutely perfect. 

When you think of breakfast, you normally don’t think of fried rice but it has all the components of a satisfying and nutrient-dense meal. You can make it a lighter, healthier dish by using cauliflower rice and sesame oil. The best thing about using cauliflower rice is how fast it cooks making it a reliant breakfast meal when you don’t have a lot of time to spare. Take this dish to the next level by adding a seasoning that lights up your tastebuds and balances out your dish like the Green Dream Savory Blend which uses our detoxifying and energy-boosting Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend. 

This breakfast fried rice is packed with veggies, delicious greens, seasoned just right and topped with satisfyingly cooked eggs.

Gather This:

2 eggs

8 oz riced cauliflower

½ cup mixed veggies

1 tsp Green Dream Savory Blend 

1 cup arugula

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tsp Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend

Do This:

Roast your mixed veggies (frozen or fresh) and set aside.

Add sesame oil to a pan and turn to medium heat, add in your riced cauliflower. Stir to fully coat cauliflower rice with the other veggies and bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally for 45-60 seconds or until softened.

Lower the heat to low and create 2 grooves for the eggs. Add a bit of oil to each groove and crack an egg in each one. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Green Dream Savory Blend, then cover the skillet and cook about 2 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to preference. 

Remove from heat and add top with arugula and Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend. Enjoy!

I love getting my fill of greens in creative and exciting ways. Feeling the fire and playful energy this Leo season and taking it to the kitchen! You don’t have to travel across the ocean or spend a ton of money to feel that spirit of adventure and childlike nature, it can happen right in your home. Experiment with flavors and food sensations and make something you’ve never made before. This is how your intuition is built. It’s the second you get out of your head and into your body when you let your senses do the talking and your gut reactions take over. 

One way to switch up your green routine? Seaweed. This ocean-grown veggie is super rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. There are different type from red algae, the kind in sushi, to blue-green algae or spirulina. I LOVE spirulina and use it in ALL our Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend products. Most people are used to seeing the nori sheets wrapped around sushi or in or snack aisle, but you can also use dried seaweed which looks like seaweed noodles and tastes super yummy!

Other seaweed benefits include:

• Pulls toxins from the body
• Antioxidant, antifungal and anti-inflammatory
• Said to help regulate estrogen

Enjoy this super simple and delicious kelp seaweed salad to get you started!

Gather This:

1 oz dried kelp seaweed

½ avocado (sliced)

½ cup multi-tomatoes (cut in half)

2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp Green Dream Savory Blend

Dried lemon (for garnish)

Handful of olives

Do This:

Place seaweed in a bowl, cover with cold water by a few inches and soak until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. 

Add avocado, tomatoes, sesame seeds, vinegar and Green Dream Savory Blend and toss well to combine. 

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Serve chilled or at room temperature with a handful of olives and dried lemon. ENJOY!
