Smoothie Bowl Celebration!

Today marks my One Year Veganniversary! For today’s mid-day “snack,” I decided to make myself a celebratory PB and chocolate smoothie bowl. 

Smoothie base ingredients: 

Frozen bananas

Peanut butter 

Cacao powder

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I added a bit too much almond milk, but the base was still a good/thick consistency!)

I topped the bowl with…

Sliced banana

Blueberries

Nature’s Path Pumpkin Seed + Flax Granola

Peanut butter

Hemp seeds

Chia seeds

Cacao nibs.

All the time.

“Be nice to yourself. It’s hard to be happy when someone is mean to you all the time.”

“When you think of love you think of the pretty parts. The holding of hands, laughter, hugs, kisses, beautiful memories shared. And when I think of love, I think of that as well. But I don’t want just the pretty parts. There will be nights were we sleep in separate rooms, days that are not filled with laughter, only tears. There will be nights when we go to bed angry and have it boiling inside of us for days, there are going to be tears, fights, and things wish we never said. But to be in love is to not accept just the pretty, but the ugly too. And I wouldn’t want to face ugly with anyone except you.”

— Victoria Viola, The Bad Parts.

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.”
