Açaí Bowls with Maple Quinoa Granola

Lori Yates — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 10:00:27 +0000

Get your day started with the powerful superfoods in these Açaí Bowls with Maple Quinoa Granola! Berry and banana smoothie bowls are topped with easy homemade granola, fresh fruit and almond butter. Naturally gluten free and vegan.

I’ve been sharing a little bit about about my husband and I’s recent 10th anniversary trip to Maui on my Instagram account. It was an amazing trip, with lots of relaxation, snorkeling, golf (for him), shave ice (for me), driving around the island and beach hopping.

We also tried açaí bowls for the first time, and fell in love with them.

An açaí bowl is basically just a smoothie in a bowl, topped with stuff. The smoothie should, of course, contain açaí berries (usually in a dried powder form blended into the smoothie).

Açaí is a South American fruit that is considered a superfood thanks to it’s crazy amount of antioxidants and other nutritional benefits.

Enjoyed warm or cold, this protein-rich, whole grain Pecan Milk Breakfast Porridge made with easy homemade pecan milk will keep you fueled all day!

I’m still on a best-intentions quest of eating breakfast every day. In an ideal world, it would happen.

In the real world, I make my coffee, grab my computer, and start my work day, waiting until lunch to eat for the first time.

Not eating breakfast is a bad habit, and one that I am continually trying to break. Study after study shows that eating breakfast is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Everything Bagel Quinoa Cakes

I think it’s safe to say that an everything bagel would be included in my last meal. Unwilling to eat the equivalent of five slices of bread (or whatever people say a bagel amounts to) all that often, I’ve taken to flavoring other, healthier things with everything seasoning. I’ve done the infamous Everything English Muffin. I’ve used everything-flavored crackers to crust salmon. I’ve sprinkled everything seasoning mix on cottage cheese, salads and eggs. (more…)

Guacamole Quinoa with Mango

Do you guys remember my Guacamole Rice? In the short history of Foxes Love Lemons, it’s definitely been one of my most popular recipes. While I’m still unsure if I actually invented this concoction (although I think just maybe, I might have), it’s been really exciting to see people make the recipe (with rice and other grains) and blog about it themselves.

Steak-Quinoa Salad with Avocado-Lime Ranch Dressing

This post should really be titled “how I actually learned to LOVE quinoa.” To say it’s trendy would be a huge understatement (90% of Pinterest seems to be things you can make with quinoa). And I know it’s good for you, because I can still recite the spiel I learned from when I worked at a salad bar for three months: “Quinoa is a superfood.

It is very high in protein, and gluten-free. It is a complete protein, because it contains all of the amino acids.” I robotically repeated this about 20 times a day when customers would ask “what’s keen-owe-ahh?” or “queen-oh-weee, what’s that?”
