I went on live yesterday with my girl Melissa Wood for what was originally planned as a fun workout + smoothie creation sesh that shifted into a beautiful, raw conversation on freeing yourself from labels to open up to more FREEDOM and expansion. We were able to squeeze in a quick little 10-minute hit workout and made these super nourishing smoothies to fuel our bods! I’m sharing the recipe below but head to my Instagram (@sophie.jaffe) for the full live!

We chatted about how important it is to show up to our lives in authentic ways and when you have a platform it is your responsibility to live entirely in your truth. When you free + liberate yourself without boundaries you are allowing others who see you do the same. This smoothie is loaded with so much goodness your kiddos will love it too! Smoothies are the easiest way to facilitate nutrients to their little bodies. All 3 of my kiddos have grown up on smoothies and LOVE them.

It’s loaded with a blend of coconut water + nut milk giving it a touch of sweetness from the coconut, frozen banana to make it thick promotes healthy digestion, greens, berries, a date (nature’s candy), and superfoods! It’s super easy and you can make it entirely yours with whatever you have in your kitchen.

Gather This:

½ cup coconut water

½ cup nut milk

1 frozen banana

Handful of strawberries (tip: keep the stems on for extra greens!)

Date (1-3 depending on how sweet you want it!)

Handful of greens of choice

2 tbsp Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend OR 1 tbsp Berry Bliss Superfood + Protein Blend and 1 tbsp Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend

Topped with: Bee Pollen, a scoop of Culina yogurt alternative

What a wild year this one has been and so heavy. Lately, I’ve found myself in flight or fight response and my nervous system is shot since COVID, quarantine, BLM, and our world being in a state of collapse. My sleep is off, my anxiety is high and I’m not here for it.

Intuitively, I knew it was time for a break on many levels and this week have decided to slow down, sleep more and take a break from caffeine. I usually start my day with a delicious cup of superfood coffee full of plant-based protein and good, healthy fats but last week I was starting to feel anxious and nauseous after only one cup. My superfood coffee is so good for the body, I knew this was a response to my high stress + anxiety so it was time for a break.

I’m sharing a naturally-energizing honey matcha latte made with our Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend and Green Bee Honey! So far I feel amazing and my adrenals are getting the break they need to reset. This matcha latte is perfect for mornings and can be easily adapted into a nourishing boost when you add coconut butter, nut butter or soaked nuts. 

Listen to your body! It knows best what it needs for healing.

Gather This:

6-8 oz dairy-free milk

1 tsp matcha powder

1 tsp Green Dream Superfood + Protein Blend 

1 tsp Green Bee Manuka Honey

1 tsp ashwagandha powder

1-2 tbsp coconut butter or almond butter or a handful of soaked nuts (optional) 

Do This:

Blend 'til frothy! To make into a meal replacement, add the coconut butter/almond butter/handful of soaked nuts.

We LOVE summertime over here and as a true California company, we can’t get enough of the sunshine. Days spent outside means more hydration! Philosophie Babe, Monette Moio of Glazed and Confused (@glazedandconfused.co) whipped up these super simple and tasty hydrating gummies using our newest beauty, Hydrating Dream!

With three kiddos it can be a challenge to get them to drink more water and now that they’re constantly in and out of the pool it’s even more important that I keep their little bodies hydrated. Finding fun and delicious ways to hydrate is a summertime tradition. These gummy snacks are so much better than the common gummy bears and taste SO good! Totally kid-friendly and mamas will love them too.

These little tasty treats are made with coconut water (great for electrolytes), Green Bee Honey (a natural immune-boosting sweetener) and the star - Hydrating Dream (our newest babe full of electrolytes and protein-rich superfoods). Grab a fun ice mold with different shapes and you’re good to go! 

Try these babies out with a huge glass of Liquid Sunshine! Your body will thank you.

Gather This:

1 cup Coconut Water (or coconut milk! Any flavored liquid works)

1 packet Hydrating Dream

2 tbsp Green Bee Honey

3 Scoops Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin

Do This:

In a medium saucepan, heat coconut water over medium heat until hot- not boiling! 

Turn heat to low and add Hydrating Dream while whisking, then add Beef Gelatin while whisking to ensure no lumps form.

Remove from heat and add Green Bee Honey. Mix until combined.

Pour mixture into silicone molds or a 8x8 baking dish if you don’t have them. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Notes:

*If you have tiny lumps from the gelatin, don’t worry about it. It’ll still work! Also, the Hydrating Dream mixture has chia seeds in it so it could be that.

*Can be stored at room temp.

*You can sub any juice/liquid to this recipe

*Honey can be subbed for any sweetener

Combine fruit + healthy fat + liquid of choice and SUPERFOODS then you’re good to go!

A fluffy stack of cakes is everyone’s breakfast favorite and the more we’re spending at home means more time for getting creative in the kitchen! This stack is entirely gluten-free and made with oats and superfoods. 

Oat flour on its own is a bit bland but when you add some vanilla extract, immune-boosting Berry Bliss, and our raw unfiltered supercharged Berry Bee Honey it’s the perfect batch! These gluten-free, vegan pancakes are SO good and are also high in fiber, heart-healthy, and super easy to whip up!

Gather This:

1 ½ cup pulsed oats (to create oat flour)

2 tbsp Berry Bee Honey

1 tsp Berry Bliss Superfood + Protein Blend

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup nut mylk or a great quality dairy milk like Organic Pastures

Do this:

Add all dry ingredients into a bowl first and stir. Add wet ingredients and cook over medium heat in a pancake grill or skillet. We love using organic pastured butter to cook our pancakes + waffles and to top them with a drizzle of Berry Bee Honey, grain-free granola, or our Coconut Magic Coconut Butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until you see bubbles appear and that’s when you know to flip!

I can’t wait to see your gorgeous oat cakes! Please share them with me on Instagram with #MyPhilosophie and #PhilosophieSuperfoods!
