Blueberry Spinach Smoothie from Alaska From Scratch

Blueberry Spinach Smoothie from Alaska From ScratchWelp guys, looks like there’s a little blip between my recipe plugin that I use on here and the new WordPress update which is a HUGE BUMMER because I didn’t get a chance to share this with y’all sooner. But I will say that I believe God used that forced break to really get me pumped about life and blogging and resetting that balance yet again. You’d think after almost 5 years of blogging I wouldn’t have to worry about that, but the reality is it’s a constant limbo between learning to live life outside of this space.

 

So there’s that. But that’s not why we’re here today on this lovely Friday during #BLENDED – we’re here to revel in the amazingness that is this blueberry spinach smoothie from Alaska from Scratch. It’s so basic but SO STINKING GOOD, and totally reaffirms my belief that simple food is always best.

 

I have actually made this several times, and have alternated using Greek yogurt and my new favorite cottage cheese, and both ways are super yummy. I say use whichever one you have on hand; you won’t be sorry either way!

 

Y’all, Maya is the real deal blogger. Her recipes are simple and SO yummy, her writing makes you feel like you’ve been besties forever, and her photography is just so incredible. If you’re looking for a ridiculously inspirational Instagram account to follow, you have to follow hers. I have vowed to not live in a super cold place, but I kind of want to move to Alaska when I see Maya’s photos. FOR REAL.

 

All this to say you really should make this smoothie and really fall in love with the gorgeous blueberry color and REALLY enjoy the heck out of your weekend!

Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!
