Healthy Glow: Healthy Eating, La Mode & Ramblings

Bienvendos! My name is Katherine N. and I'm a 20-something U.S. Diplomat. This blog is a mix of my love of healthy eating, exercise, ramblings and fashion. I started this blog because I am a certified wanderlust. I have traveled and eaten the cuisines of many countries including: Ghana (where my family is from & where I went to University), Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea, Malaysia, Canada, Puerto Rico, England, Canada, at least 20 U.S. States, Mexico, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Singapore, Indonesia...just to name a few.

Recipes: Smoothie In A Bowl (SIAB) & A Summertime SIAB

Weird, I know. Ever since I started reading the blog, Kath Eats Real Food I have been intrigued by her SIAB creation. I wondered to myself, who the heck makes a smoothie, then pours it in a bowl?!

According to Kath, “I never liked smoothies very much until I started serving them in a bowl, soup style! Eating a smoothie with a spoon is so much more fun than drinking it in a glass – when it disappears in 1 minute flat in my house! Additionally, adding toppings, some of which sink to the bottom, make the eating process more exciting. Chewing helps me feel satisfied, so I love adding that dimension to smoothies.” To read more about this interesting “recipe” click here.

My Summertime SIAB

Ingredients:

10 strawberries
1 large banana (cut into chunks and frozen overnight so I didn’t have to add ice)
1/2 scoop of Meijer Whey Protein Powder in Creamy Vanilla
1/4 quick oats
1 small peach

Directions:

Blend all of the ingredients until smooth. Don’t blend it too long because the smoothie will be too “liquidy”.

1/2 cup of Quaker Oats Raspberry Apple Granola as a topping

Add whatever other toppings you want! You can add more berries, bananas, nut butter, or unsalted nuts!

Have fun! To tell you the truth in the summer all I want is smoothies. I could drink smoothies all day. After a workout nothing satisfies me more. If this isn’t your thing just keep drinking your smoothie out of a cup. I will judge you if you do.
