Frozen Breakfast Bowl for happy bowels

Sorry I couldn't resist. Happy bowels make your day an life better, you know it, even if you won't admit it. This delicious breakfast bowl is filled with antioxidants and best of all it's super easy to make. All you need is frozen fruit, nuts, seeds, dried berries, green powder, and some coconut milk. 

On a trip to Miami in December my friend took me to this awesome juice bar concept called Jugofresh. Although I couldn't really appreciate it at the time - I was desperately hung over and in serious need of a greasy spoon type meal. Not a post workout green healthy type of morning. Any way this place was amazing. A wicked selection of cold pressed juices and elixirs in these super cute mini glass bottles. They also had some interesting sounding dishes that until you have them in front of you are a totally unimaginable. Like a kale and coconut ceviche, raw oatmeals, and the frozen fruit bowl I made today. 

Ingredients: All quantities are approximate

Frozen fruit - 1/3 c. mango, 1/3 c. blueberries, 3 chunks pineapple 

Powder - 1 tsp spirulina & chlorella 

Liquids - 1/3 cup coconut milk, splash cold water & 3 oz seabuckthorn liquid supplement 

Crunchy toppings - goji berries, raw macadamia nuts, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, bee pollen, black chia, and Danielle's coconut chips. 

Blend the fruit and liquid, until it forms a sorbet consistency- I use a Nutribullet. Then top with a sprinkling of crunchies. That easy. You can even make your fruit puree in advance an leave it in the freezer. 

Happy pooping peeps. 

The Tomato Snob's take on green, eggs & ham

No this is not what I ate over the weekend! As most of you know by now I'm at the end of a three week detox cleanse, that looks like it's going to last a lot longer then the initial three weeks. Today I'm reminiscing about a late breakfast I shared with a friend last month. We were starving and had worked all a.m. We wanted something satisfying and fast. Boy did this feast dance on our taste buds. There isn't a recipe for anything obviously. But just for some insider info the green plate is a chimichuri spread, the ham is fried sausage (sweet & hot), the shrimps were dusted in smoked & sweet paprika and pan fried. Everything came together like all good breakfast feasts do, with fresh baguette & room temp salted butter. In about 20 minutes I was well on my way to being in a happy fat kid food coma. Give this combo a try next time you feel like feasting your way through a Sunday afternoon, but don't plan too much for the rest of the day. Check back later this week for a very important post about "the dirty dozen vs. the clean fifteen" you don't want to miss it!
