Drink Your Nutrients With Ambronite!

Disclosure: I was given a package of Ambronite in exchange for an honest review. All opinions as always are my own.

Recently I've been on a bit of a smoothie/juice kick.

I mean, can you blame me? Drinking your nutrients is such an easy and enjoyable way to make sure your day gets off on the right foot.

So you can imagine how excited I was when Ambronite contacted me to see if I would be interested in a sample of their new and improved Ambronite formula. I did a happy dance.

If you're a long time reader of my blog the name Ambronite may sound familiar. I wrote a review of the product last Spring.

I was a fan then and I'm still loving the super smooth, new and improved, Ambronite Drinkable Supermeal formula.

Billed as a drinkable supermeal, Ambronite just might be the finest nutrition supplement drink out there.

Ambronite, a powdered drink blend that contains all the nutrients necessary to fuel the body and mind for the day is organic, preservative free, non GMO, vegan and contains no sweeteners.

So what's in it?

So who is Ambronite for?

Ambronite goes down smooth. It tastes almost like oatmeal only its not thick and clumpy. The taste is pleasant, slightly nutty. Even my four and one year-olds drink it without flinching. If you want to get fancy and add fruit or milk to your Ambronite drink, power to you.  However you take it, Ambronite is a great way to shake up your morning or afternoon smoothie habit.

Honolulu Is Where I Want To Be Today!

Honolulu is where I want to be today! I had grown smug.

75 degrees on Christmas ...

53 degrees on New Years Eve...

I had convinced myself that I lived in a warm climate. A tender, serene, forgiving place. Not the east coast.

Now that the snow has begun to fall and the temperature steadily plummets, I find myself slipping into a state of shock.

Is it too late to book a flight to Honolulu before the storm hits tomorrow?

Oh Hawaii.

Oh Honolulu.

By the ocean, palm trees swaying in the breeze, the mountains behind me...

As the most western and southernmost major American city, Honolulu, which translates into "calm port" (how lovely), is the largest city in and state capital of Hawaii.

With its stretches of warm aquamarine water and tropical volcanic mountains in the distance, Honolulu is an emerald paradise.

On a day like this, when I'm frozen and snowed in. I can hear Honolulu calling to me in the frozen breeze.

Long live wanderlust and long live wonder. Honolulu is where I'd like to be today!

La Vie Boheme in Adam's Morgan

Adam's Morgan just might be my favorite DC neighborhood. It's where I feel most at home in DC. Perhaps because it reminds me so much of my beloved Brooklyn.

Adam's Morgan is eclectic, it's international, it's intelligent, it's cheeky, it's bohemian, it's artsy, and it's grounded.

La Vie Boheme in Adam's Morgan!

Along Adam's Morgan's main drag- 18th street, you'll find coffee shops, independent bookshops, yoga studios, bars, boutiques, and independent shops of all sorts.

It's a fun stroll.

Adam's Morgan is an international food lovers dream. You can find restaurants boasting food from nations across the globe from Ethiopian, Japanese and Vietnamese, to Korean, Ghanaian, Moroccan, French, Indian, Irish and Italian, the result is a creative melting pot of culture and art.

A lot less stuffy and irreverent than its upscale and stiff lipped neighbors, Adam's Morgan is hip, culturally diverse, family friendly and literate without the pretentiousness commonly seen around these parts.

Easy to walk, there's no need to stick to the main drag. Venture down side streets and take in the colorful row homes.

The National Zoo is nearby as are a handful of lovely parks and green spaces- my favorite is the gorgeous and historic Meridian Hill Park.

If you're planning a trip to the DC area, Adam's Morgan is a great neighborhood with a bohemian soul. If the rest of DC is too stuffy for your tastes, laid back Adam's Morgan is perfect for dinner, drinks, local shopping or a quick yoga class.

The Perfect Smoothie for Vegetarians!

The Perfect Smoothie for Vegetarians! A new year is here again!

I love the energy and excitement brought forth by a new start.

January 1st, is one of my favorite times to pause, reflect and start new.

With the start of this new year, I am continuing with my quest to be as clean, green and natural as possible, both inside and out. Instead of beginning each day with a breakfast meal, I've started drinking breakfast smoothies.

I like smoothies. There are so many different varieties. I've been drinking them for breakfast on and off since college. Smoothies are a great way to squeeze in extra nutrients. They're easy to transport for days when you need a quick breakfast on the go and they're pretty darn delicious. Smoothies, pretty much rock in my opinion, which is why I'm so excited to share this particular recipe. This particular vegetarian friendly smoothie goes above and beyond as far as nutrients, minerals and taste are concerned.

Wait- a vegetarian friendly smoothie? What are you talking about? Aren't all smoothies vegetarian?!?

Good point my perceptive reader, and to answer that, yes- usually. Your typical smoothie does not call for meat (although I have seen recipes that call for bacon).

What makes this smoothie stand out, aside from the fact that it tastes like a chocolate milkshake, is the fact that it provides a super boost of both protein and iron, nutrients that can be lacking in a vegetarian diet. Hence the title- The Perfect Smoothie for Vegetarians!

Thanks to the following cast of power players:

Blackstrap molasses- iron, minerals, calcium

Chia- omega 3's, antioxidants, calcium

Cocoa powder- antioxidants

Almond butter- protein

Almond milk- protein

Baobab powder- antioxidants, iron, vitamin C

This smoothie is quite literally the perfect smoothie for vegetarians!

So here's what you need:

2 bananas

4 tablespoons blackstrap molasses

2 tablespoons chia seed

1 cup chopped kale

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons pure cocoa powder

4 tablespoons almond butter

2 cups almond milk

1 tablespoon baobob powder

The directions are simple. Combine the  ingredients in a blender and press blend.

The result is a deliciously hearty iron rich, chocolatey, protein rich, get your day started right -breakfast smoothie.

This recipe makes two 8 ounce servings, which means share it with someone you love. In fact it's very child friendly. My four year old drinks it like a treat and my one year old eats it from a bowl like cereal.

Little do they know that mommy is stuffing them full of the nutrients that tend to be absent from our vegetarian and soy-free diet.

And that makes me do a happy dance...

Do you drink smoothies? What do you like to put in your breakfast smoothies?
