Friday Recipe: Smoothie Bowl

The smoothie bowl, is the latest breakfast trend. I have seen an increase in photos people are posting of their artistically berry and nut decorated smoothie bowls sprinkled with chai, flax or sunflower seeds on Instagram. I decided that it was finally my turn to give the smoothie bowl a whirl.  

Ingredients I used 
two large scoops of Greek yogurt
spoonful of almond butter
handful of blackberries & frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon each of chia seeds, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips

I put greek yogurt, frozen blueberries, blackberries and almond butter into a blender with coconut water to loosen into smoothie liquid form. I then poured smoothie substance into a bowl and decorated the top with blackberries, blueberries, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips and chia seeds. The result was like a cold fruity soup. It was tasty but I think next time I will put less coconut water in and let the chia seeds sit in the smoothie bowl for a couple minutes to let the smoothie thicken out.
This weekend try making your own smoothie bowl for breakfast there are so many different fruit, berry, seed combinations you can really make it your own! 

Things I like this week

I went to Rucola in Brooklyn on Tuesday for breakfast and it was super lovely. I had poached eggs, lentils, roasted carrots, dill and goat cheese, it was perfect.

Below are some things that I wanted to share before February is officially over. Just some things that I have been enjoying recently. Happy leap day!

I have been enjoying the Quite Continental Charm School. All throughout February Quite Continental and guest bloggers gave tips on how to live a classy yet fabulous life. I personally have even been taking some tips to heart by wearing perfume and finally making a hair appointment!

Solange Knowles style transformation blows me away. I love her vibe she seems to just radiate laid back, talented and cool. She embodies what I want my more mature style to look like, basically can I be her when I grow up! Her daily outfits are being shown on British Vogue for Today I'm wearing all throughout February. So since today is the last day you can marvel over all 29 outfits! Also her blog is pretty awesome too.   

I am obsessed with breakfast food. I love everything about it. I also am obsessed with looking at the BKFST. There is a odd sensation when looking at delicious food you cant eat. 

I have really been enjoying Zooey Deschanel show on fox New Girl. I definitely had my doubts at first but it exceeded my expectation and is pretty funny. Deschanel was on SNL a few weeks back and I loved this skit above. Kristen Wiig doing Bjork is too good.
