I am so honored to be doing a guest post here on Philosophie. I surely adore Sophie, she is a constant inspiration to me as a woman + a mama! Since I am obsessed with Sophie's products, I thought it'd be great to give you one of my favorite superfood smoothie recipes. I love to put either berry bliss or (and!) green dream in this one.

This recipe is inspired by my favorite smoothie from Active Culture Cafe in Laguna Beach.

BLUE GREEN ENVY SMOOTHIE

  • whole banana sliced + frozen
  • 1/2 C of frozen blueberries
  • 1 C of kale
  • 1 T of raw almond butter

Breakfast Chia Seed Pudding

Breakfast can be tricky for me. I LOVE smoothies but don't always feel like taking the blender out. I get tired of eggs + try to avoid muffins, yogurt & processed cereals/granola so I have been searching for a really good healthy breakfast alternative + I have found it! I am so happy to share it with you, because it is so yummy + so simple! The addition of Green Dream adds extra protein + greens while the chia seeds are full of good omega fats! 

 


Chia seeds are an excellent source of protein, full of antioxidants, omega 3's, calcium + fiber.
In this recipe I soak them overnight in my homemade nut milk + add fresh fruit (berries are the best) in the morning for a 
yummy + nourishing breakfast.

I have tried many variations + found the 
best ratio, so the pudding has the perfect consistency:

  • 1 C of Almond Milk (or any tasty liquid you like, hemp milk, coconut milk etc.)
  • 3 T organic chia seeds
  • 1 t organic vanilla extract
  • optional sweetener (coconut palm sugar, honey, etc)
  • 1 T Green Dream
  • 1 T Berry Bliss
  • fresh fruit for topping

in a bowl combine 1 C of liquid with 3 T of chia seeds + whisk for about 2 minutes, then let sit for 4 minutes, when the seeds start to soak in the water + get a bit clumpy, whisk up again, wait a minute + then one more time stir it up, so you have already a nice liquid pudding. Fill into a bowl or mason jar + place into the fridge overnight. In the morning add your favorite fruit, Berry Bliss + Green Dream and optional sweetener! Share with us by posting your delicious superfood pudding: @philosophiemama! 

ONE LAST THING: You can prepare already a few mason jars with chia pudding and leave them in the fridge, they can be easily taken to work for a healthy snack and are perfect after a yoga practice. The chia pudding keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge.

Gluten-free Avocado Bread!

so, today is Cinco de Mayo. Fittingly, I had 10 avocados and the babes were asleep so the only obvious thing to do would be: Create Avocado & Green Dream BREAD! It may not sound good but you will be oh so pleasantly surprised!

It took me 5 minutes to mix the dry ingredients, 40 seconds to process and 1 minute to mix! Do a workout while you wait for it to bake!

Gather:

  • 2 2/3 C gluten-free flour
  • 1/3 C Philosophie Green Dream superfood powder
  • 1/4 C coconut sugar (or sugar in the raw)

  • 1 t sea salt
  • 6 egg whites (or egg replacer if vegan)

  • 1/4 t nutmeg
  • 3/4 C water
  • 1 1/2 C avocado, peeled, pitted
  • 3/4 C sunflower seeds or pistachio nuts (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 1/2 inchx 4 1/2inch loaf pan with coconut oil cooking spray (now avail at Trader Joes! so happy!)
  2. Combine flour, Green Dream, sugar, baking soad, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt in a large-sized mixing bowl. Set aside.
  3. Add egg whites (or egg alternative), oil, vanilla, nutmeg and water into the Vitamix/highspeed blender in the order listed and secure lid.
  4. start at a low speed setting, turn machine on and quickly increase speed to highest. Blend for 30 seconds.
  5. Reduce speed to a low setting and add avocado and seeds/nuts.
  6. Increase speed to a medium level and blend for 10 seconds.
  7. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and fold until evenly incorporated.
  8. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 min or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean!
