Peanut Butter Protein Acai Bowl

July 16, 2017 by Nicole 3 Comments

I love smoothies as much as the next basic betch, but rarely do I feel satisfied when I drink one alone for breakfast. It’s not that they can’t contain all the goodies you need for a healthy breakfast, it’s just that I haven’t chewed anything. Cue my obsession with smoothie BOWLS. Exact same ingredients just with a little granola on top and a spoon—makes all the difference. Try this peanut butter protein acai bowl the next time you want to eat your morning smoothie.

For the protein powder, I use this raw, plant-based one from Garden of Life. I add protein to smoothies and drinks maaaaybe once a week, if that, so I certainly don’t have an expert opinion on brands, but I do think this one is really yummy if you’re looking for a recommendation! You could also totally make this peanut butter protein acai bowl without the protein powder.

Any time I do a gallery of images like this, I always laugh at how bad my photography skills used to be. I’m no pro now, but jeeze, it looks like I took those early pictures with a throwaway camera in a dark basement (lol).

Blueberry Muffin Overnight Oats

March 5, 2017 by Nicole 4 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you already got a sneak peek at this bomb.com blueberry muffin overnight oats recipe. My reluctance to embrace Instagram stories out of loyalty to Snapchat has stepped aside, and I’m actually starting to really enjoy it. I love that you can tag people in stories and easily start messaging convos. I’ll be sharing health/fitness/blog/life stuff on there a lot more now. But back to this recipe …

I’ve mentioned before that I love blueberry muffin Larabars (I eat one almost every single day). This overnight oats recipe was born from that obsession. I was hesitant because lemon in oatmeal?! But trust me, it gives the oats a zing that perfectly compliments the sweetness of the blueberries and maple syrup. If you still think it sounds weird, just omit the zest so that the lemon flavor isn’t as intense.

I go through phases with breakfasts where I’ll eat the same thing almost every morning for months or even years before switching it up. Right now I’m definitely in an all-things-oatmeal phase. I love that it fills me up and keeps me satisfied until lunch. Usually in the summer my go-to switches to smoothies, but the refreshing zing of the lemon in these blueberry muffin overnight oats might make it a warm weather keeper for me.

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! On Friday night I cooked a big dinner for me and Joe and we just hung in, and then last night we had a friend’s birthday party at Capo in Southie. The basement of Capo is pretty hilarious. Upstairs it’s this nice Italian restaurant with people dressed up on dates. Then you go downstairs and it looks like the man cave of a dude in the throws of a midlife crisis. So random! Boston readers—have you been down there yet??

Spinach-Packed Turmeric Egg Bake

February 5, 2017 by Nicole 5 Comments

This turmeric egg bake is packed with spinach and shredded sweet potato, and while it’s not the most photogenic of meals, I promise the delicious taste makes up for the appearance. I’m sure a lot of you have Super Bowl food on the brain today rather than healthy breakfast meal prep, but this is a good recipe to pin for later. It’s easy to put together and you can store it in the refrigerator to have breakfast ready to go the next couple days.
