Vanilla Almond Green Breakfast Bowl

Mmmmm my absolute favourite breakfast any day of the week.  Actually…I would eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could.

This recipe is based on the Oh She Glows Milli Vanilli Green Monster that I made into a breakfast bowl.  I haven’t tried all of her variations of green monsters yet, but so far this is my favourite. The key to the yummy almondie-goodness is the almond extract! Don’t skip that out ;)

Makes 1 serving      Total Time – 5-10 minutes

Ingredients for Smoothie 

1. 1 cup spinach or kale
2. 1/4 cup almond milk
3. 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
4. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5. 1/4 tsp almond extract
6. 1 tbsp almond butter
7. 1-2 drops stevia
8. 1 tsp ground flaxseeds
9. 2 tsp coconut butter (optional)

Ingredients for Breakfast Bowl

1. 1-2 tbsp chia seeds
2. 1 tbsp hemp hearts
3. 1-2 tsp cinnamon
4. 1/2 banana, sliced
5. any fresh berries or fruit you want
6. 1/4 cup quinoa granola (or any type of granola)
7. Optional toppings – coconut flakes, sliced almonds, cashews, etc

Directions

• Blend up all the smoothie ingredients.  Start with just a small amount of almond milk and add more as needed. It should be pretty thick!
• Pour into a bowl and top with your breakfast bowl ingredients. YUM!

Kale Chips

I’m not too sure why I’ve never written down this recipe. I make these chips all the time! I needed a good snack to have while on my 21-day detox, so kale chips are the perfect salty solution :) I’ve found they work better with dinosaur kale rather then the frilly regular kind.  ENJOY!

Ingredients

• organic dinosaur kale
• olive oil
• unrefined salt
• cajun spice (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash the kale thoroughly, dry it and peel off the stem.
• Rip into chip size pieces and place on a greased baking sheet.  Lightly drizzle olive oil and salt.
• Bake for about 6 minutes or until crispy. Done :)
