Creating a healthy and purpose-driven life.
Who is ready for fall? I so am! Fall is my favorite season of the year. It’s the time of boots, scarves, slouchy sweaters, beanies, apple picking and pumpkin patches. The trees turn beautiful shades of orange, red, and yellow, and the sunshine turns a golden sheen. Gone is the sticky heat, replaced by a slight cool breeze. Needless to say, I LOVE FALL!
I’ve been on a snack craze lately. And coincidentally my newest snack obsession is a raw or almost raw protein ball. It’s convenient, healthier than a piece of cake, delicious, and has plenty of nutrients! I didn’t know what kind of flavor to write up as a blog recipe first, but in the midst of shopping for ingredients I remembered I only had coffee protein powder. First I panicked, thinking I couldn’t possibly create a protein ball recipe that was good and had coffee in it, but low and behold I saw bananas and knew exactly what to fix!
I was feeling nostalgic lately and remembered how in middle and high school my Dad used to make me a banana milk every single day. It was smooth, creamy, refreshing and comforting all at the same time. And I realized switching over to dairy-free shouldn’t mean I can’t have my favorite childhood drink!
This smoothie totally hit the spot and was oh so satisfying!
My favorite way to start my day is by juicing a bunch of veggies and fruits. Not only do I feel refreshed and energized, but I feel like I’m doing something good for my body. There’s no better way to begin the day than treating yourself to a healthy breakfast. Paired with a fruit salad, some cut up raw veggies or some scrambled eggs, this makes for a nutritious, balanced and healthy meal.
