Guest post by Greer Inez - Blue Green Envy Smoothie

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

raw + vegan + gluten free + soy free
  • whole banana sliced + frozen
  • 1/2 C of frozen blueberries
  • 1 C of kale
  • 1 T of raw almond butter
  • 1 T of maca powder
  • 1 T of cacao nibs
  • 1 T of chia seed powder
  • 1 T of berry bliss and/or green dream
  • 2 C of almond milk [my recipe]

I hope you enjoy this yummy smoothie! If you're a mama, check out the next MODERN MAMA eCourse that starts May 4. It's a 5-week eCourse for the mama wanting to lead a blissful life in today's busy world. It is filled with inspirational material on healthy living + nutrition + natural parenting + self-love + eco-living. I share all my secrets on how I efficiently maintain a blissful life for myself + my family on the daily.

Cacao Magic + Green Dream Oat Bars

It's so nice to make your own bars + be prepared for the week ahead with snack ammo. These are slightly sweet with no added sugar. If you want to make them a wee bit sweeter you could add 2 tablespoons of agave or honey. yum!

{If you do more goji berries and add a tablespoon of Berry Bliss, this would be the perfect bar for valentines day! Use a heart cookie cutter to make them beautiful little hearts! Great gift for kiddos to give their friends since you could omit the cashews and they would be nut free/gluten-free!}

 

 

  • 1/4 C + 1 t coconut oil
  • 1 C [packed] Medjool dates, pits removed
  • 1 T vanilla extract 
  • 1 T green dream powder
  • 1 T cacao magic powder
  • 1 1/2 C gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 C coconut flour
  • 1 handful raw cashews [optional]
  • 1/4 C coconut milk or any dairy-free milk
  • 3/4 t baking soda
  • 1/3 C hemp seeds
  • 1/2 t sea salt [i used pink Himalayan]
  • 1/4 C cacao nibs [optional]
  • 1/4 C goji berries [optional]

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 t coconut oil, or use parchment paper. 

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining coconut oil into a warm liquid. Pour the coconut oil into a food processor, add the dates, coconut milk, vanilla extract and Philosophie superfood powders [green dream + cacao magic]. Blend until a smooth paste ha formed, stopping the machine and scraping down the sides when needed. I added a handful of cashews at this point, it's completely optional + the bars will taste awesome without them!

In a large bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, salt and hemp seeds. Stir in the date mixture and mix well. Fold in the cacao nibs and goji berries.

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet with a spatula [or fingers, like me] forming it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the wet dough into about a dozen rectangles or desired shape. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges begin to turn golden brown and are cooked through. Let cool, then separate the rectangles and in-joy!
