This time of year, with vacations, kids out of school, back-to-back plans, and the need for continuous convenience, healthy eating habits can easily fall by the wayside.
For me, the best way of ensuring I get the nutrition I need in the midst of all the running around, is to maintain a stock of solid resources in my pantry and a plethora of fresh produce in my refrigerator – that way, I can whip something up on-the-go and stay fueled in an efficient, high-impact way.
I saw a quote the other day that resonated with me – โSelf-care isnโt selfish. You canโt serve on an empty tank.โ
One of the issues we have as independent, hard-working individuals is taking the time to nurture and uplift ourselves before trying to do so for others.
We feel like we arenโt being good people when weโre giving to ourselves, when in reality, we become more a more valuable resource when weโre operating at full capacity.
One crucial way of showing ourselves we care is by feeding our bodies!
I love that Bobโs Red Mill strongly advocates nutrition and brings it to your home with effortless convenience. Theyโre here to help fill your energy tank in the most positive ways.
I find supplementing my smoothies with high-quality protein powder ensures it is a well-balanced experience, versus all just carbs. I used Bobโs Red Millโs Vanilla Protein Powder Nutritional Booster to add a nutrition boost (and delicious vanilla flavor) to this smoothie.
You can use your favorite protein powder or add in some collagen peptides. Hemp protein is always one of my favorites.
In an era with so many opinions about health flying around helter-skelter, I think itโs important to keep a hard stance and be an advocate for your own health. Only you know whatโs right for you!

I have never had a smoothie bowl! I do love smoothies, and always try to eat a good breakfast
I fuel up with fat and protein in the mornings (I avoid blood sugar issues this way), a tasty balanced lunch and smoothie packed with lots of superfoods like berries and flax, chia, coconut water and probitotics, for dinner another balanced meal and of course a sweet treat sometimes. ๐
omg looove smoothie bowls. acai is probably my favorite, but i love adding collagen to them!
I love to fuel my workouts with Vietnamese spring rolls and peanut sauce, because I want something both light and peanut buttery =).
Me, my husband, & 7 year old twins love smoothies! This smoothie bowl is a great twist on the drink. Tried it and everybodv loved it. So many different possibilities to imagine. I had some of Bob’s Red Mills Steel Cut. Oats left over. I had added raisins, apples, walnuts, and cinnamon to it. I put it in a blender with a banana, strawberries, and almond milk. Gave it a blend and it was delicious.
I’m so glad your family likes it, Laura! Your additions sound amazing! Thanks so much for the kind feedback!
Your bowl is the bomb..beautiful too..must pin.
Generally fruit, multigrain muffin..oatmeal, yogurt with nuts, berries, chia and or match smoothies..my rotation.
I try to incorporate veggies in every meal to give me that boost of energy I need everyday
I mostly fuel my awesomeness with hugs from my youngest, Emma, we imagine little tiny hearts floating up to the ceiling/sky as they go “hug-hug-hug-hug-hug” of course, that sometimes doesn’t cut it, so I rely on B12 gummy vitamins, and cups of coffee. I sometimes drink protein smoothies too, but haven’t found a good make-at-home version.
I take multi vitamins & drink plenty of water.
I eat a lot of fruit and veggies daily, drink a lot of water and practice yoga daily. Thanks for the super RAD giveaway!
Strength-training requires a lot of protein. Coffee before a workout, and a high-protein meal afterwards. I love a good protein smoothie made with frozen fruit and veggies.
I do zumba to fuel my awesomeness
