smoothie Archives - High Vibe Lifestyle

A few months ago, my family and I traveled up the coast to the tiny little beach town of Avila Beach, Ca. It’s an adorable little town, and I wrote a post about our trip here. While we were there, we visited a great little smoothie shop, and the bowls that we had there totally inspired me to make my own version! I have been making them almost every morning, in some variation, since we got back! I adore smoothies for breakfast and rarely eat anything other than that, so I was happy to add these delicious Acai Berry Smoothie Bowls to the repertoire! Bonus – my husband and kids love these too, so it’s easy to get everyone eating a lot of fruit for breakfast. There’s also plenty of protein in them, so you won’t feel hungry an hour later! Before we dive in, I just want to let you know that I am busy working away on some amazing vegan and gluten free Thanksgiving recipes, so make sure you stay connected by following me on social media or signing up for my email newsletter. You won’t want to miss what’s coming next!

Peach Banana Berry Smoothie Bowl

by Angel McNall

Yum

As a food blogger, I see A LOT of smoothies on the internet, and right now, smoothie bowls are all the rage. Not really a new concept, just a new way to do things. Basically a smoothie bowl, is a smoothie that is thick enough to eat with a spoon, and because it’s in a bowl, instead of in a cup, you can really get creative with your toppings. Smoothie bowls are a delicious and beautiful way to eat your fruit, and include some other filling ingredients to make it more of a meal. This Peach Banana Berry Smoothie is really satisfying in all of the above mentioned ways!

Super Duper Detox Juice

by Angel McNall

Yum

So many things to talk about you guys, so let’s just dive right in!

these beautiful ingredients above… they’re what goes into my Super Duper Detox Juice… we’re going to juice them… and they are going to be delicious together… I promise.
this is the first time I’ve used a juicer that I literally bought like 4 years ago, and it’s been in the box the whole time, so I’m pretty proud of myself for FINALLY breaking it out, and just doing something that I know is really good for me, so let’s hear it for yummy juice, healthy living, and taking the time for some self care!
Speaking of self care, I just got back from Las Vegas, and it was so.much.fun!! I really needed a little vacay, some time with some of my favorite people, and some great music! So, that’s actually the third thing I was going to say… even though it seems counter intuitive to us type A people, sometimes it’s actually more productive to take some time off, because when you come back, you are energized, super charged and inspired! Even if it’s hard to make yourself just step away, it’s very important. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day. And that’s really what this post is all about. Resetting, resting, and recharging, your mind, and your body!

Banana Date Protein Smoothie

by Angel McNall

Yum

I could have called this smoothie, the ‘New Blender Celebration Smoothie’, but I thought it might sound a little better if I went with ‘Banana Date Protein Smoothie’. I am celebrating though, because I just got a new blender!(Please read that in your best Oprah voice…) Yay! I bought a Ninja blender about 3 or 4 years ago and I LOVED it! I used it almost every.single.day, at least once, but a lot of times more than once! After so much lovin’, and lots and lots of ice blending, my blades were getting a little dull. I had my hubby sharpen them with his handy, dandy, knife sharpener, and that worked pretty well, and I could have kept using it for quite a while, but I still kinda wanted a new one. And then it happened… my husband was doing his regular hero things around the house which included the DISHES (thank you!!), and he accidentally knocked the blender off of the counter, and it landed in just the right way to split it down the side! I admit that I am so hopelessly addicted to this smoothie that I used it in the morning, crack and all, with a towel wrapped around it ( I know, embarassing, right?) but then I promptly bought a new one. And the new one is even more awesome than my older one! It came with some large smoothie cups with lids and a separate ‘nutrient extraction blade’, which I haven’t used yet, but I’m sure I’ll be appreciating the professionally extracted nutrients! 😉 I know some people spend a few hundred dollars on super fancy blenders, and I’m sure they’re totally awesome, but I’ve never had one of those and I don’t know what I may or may not be missing. I just know that this blender rocks out my smoothies! So, if you’ve been thinking about a new blender, be careful what you wish for, because yours may just fall right off the counter top! Law of Attraction – It’s powerful! Now let’s talk about a smoothie that is so yummy, it’s fit for christening my new blender!
