Only a Decade Later

All fun & games before 2 hour practice

Am I really updating a blog, 10+ years after the last post? Suppose I am. Funny enought, I use this blog quiet often for recipes, so I'm stashing this one here for me - and for you - for later.

Here's a recipe I've created and eat on the regs. It's a superfood bowl, I'm still thinking about naming it something like, The Queen Bee Bowl, The Glow Bowl, or. .just breakfast. 

It checks all of the boxes for me, and is SO delicious. It's an easy one to sub in or out based on your liking and whatever is in the pantry.

✔High in Protein – Supports muscle recovery, satiety & metabolism.
✔ Rich in Omega-3s – Fights inflammation & supports brain health.
✔ Packed with Antioxidants – Protects cells & boosts immunity.
✔ Great for Gut Health – High in fiber + probiotics for digestion.
✔ Blood Sugar Friendly – Cinnamon & fiber balance energy levels.
✔ Naturally Sweet – No added sugars, just whole food goodness.

I generally eat this post swim days, after swim, for breakfast (except Fridays, iykyk). I also mod the recipe and cut by 25 - 50% to adjust macros if I'm having for a snack, or lunch, or girl dinner. Super easy to customize so use this as a guide to create your bowl.

🌟 Ultimate Healthy Yogurt Bowl 🐝

A nutrient-packed, protein-rich, and antioxidant-loaded meal for energy, gut health, and overall wellness.

Ingredients:

• 1 handful each of any berries. I use blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
• 1/2 of a mango
• 1 T chia seeds
• 2 T hemp seeds
• 1 cup of your favs yogurt; I use Fage 0% Greek or Siggis Vanilla 0% (my favs)
• 1/2 scoop of vanilla (or any flavor) protein powder - 12g protein boost!
• 1/2 t of ceylon cinnamon (antioxidant & blood sugar support)
• 1 t cacao nibs (magnesium & flavonoid boost!)
• 1 t ground walnuts or whole, doesn't matter (extra omega 3s!)
• 1/2 - 1 T bee pollen (wide range of nutrients & antioxidants)

🌿Bee Pollen Note: 🐝

Try 1/2 t first, then work up to 1 t or 1T over time.

🛠️How to prepare - In your big favorite bowl:
Mix protein powder into yogurt first

Layer in fruit

Sprinkle chia, hemp, flax, walnuts, and bee polen

Top with cacao nibs and cinnamon

✨Bonus info:
I also make this into a big salad, minus the things that wouldn't gel well, i.e. yogurt, protein powder, cinnamon, cacao) and add chicken breast of any protein of choice, and use homemade or Girard's Champagne dressing.
