Sunscreen Babo Botanicals
We have been loving this sunscreen! It got us all around Paris in the sun without getting burned! It’s great for our sensitive skin and it lays nicely under makeup without pilling (little pieces of sunscreen/makeup rolling up and sitting on your face)!
Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners and Snacks
Back from a 2 week trip to Europe with my husband! We walked around, went to museums, restaurants and traveled around a little bit. We ended up buying art we are excited about! Happy to be back home and back into the cooking rhythm…
Smoothie made with green smoothie cubes (water, greens, banana, lemon and sea salt), frozen mango, hemp seeds and collagen!

Still working on my sushi rolling skills… purple rice, jumbo lump crap, bell peppers, avocado, chipotle mayo and seaweed.
Chicken salad made with chicken sausage, bell peppers, cucumber, cabbage, mayo, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper and mustard. I used the lettuce as boats to house the chicken salad.
Quick lunch made with jumbo lump crab meat, avocado, chipotle mayo, sea salt, lemon juice and sesame seeds. I ended up wrapping this in a hand roll using a piece of seaweed.
Orange chicken for dinner!!!! I’m digging making Asian takeout dishes at home! I battered and seared the chicken, made the orange sauce, blanched the broccoli and cooked white rice. I finished the chicken and broccoli in the oven covered in the orange sauce. This was super tasty!
Lazy night pasta dinner made with green onions, extra virgin olive oil, leftover roux cubes (tons of roasted garlic, butter and flour), pasta, pasta water, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest and egg yolks. I made this pasta a few nights ago and placed the leftovers in a lightly greased dish. Tonight I topped it with too much 😉 taleggio, red pepper Mitica sheep’s milk cheese and aged prosciutto!
Smashed avocado seasoned with sea salt and lemon juice on a rice cake.
Strawberries, mango and The Coconut Cult lemon meringue yogurt (so delicious!!).

Green Cubes for Smoothies
This is a great way to use up greens and bananas!
- 3 cups water
- 6-9 handfuls greens
- 3 bananas
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch of sea salt
Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into silicone molds and freeze until hard.
To use: add green smoothie cube(s) and frozen fruit of choice to a blender. Cover with water. Add optional nuts/seeds and protein (I used hemp seeds and collagen for this smoothie) and blend to combine. Enjoy!!
Coffee and Tea
Two vanilla bean maple coconut cream coffees: one with almond milk and one with dairy milk!
I brewed Purity Coffee in my French press.
I combined coconut cream (the top creamy part in a can of full fat coconut milk), maple syrup, vanilla bean and a pinch of sea salt using a handheld frother.
I poured coffee in the mugs, added the coconut cream and topped with frothed milk!
Green Juice
Green juice made with cucumber, parsley, cabbage and lemon!
Granola Butter Waffles!
These were so yummy and fun!!
I’m a huge fan of Oat Haus Granola Butter, their products are so delicious. They are basically spreadable granolas in a bunch of different flavors. This time I used their brownie batter and red velvet flavors. But you can use absolutely any flavor!
- 4 TB butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Large pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup milk, I used almond
- 1 egg
- 4 TB granola butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat waffle iron.
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt.
In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, egg, granola butter and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold just to combine. Fold in the melted and cooled butter just until combined.
Cook the waffles and serve with granola butter, bananas, maple syrup and Coconut Cult vanilla yogurt!!
Ramen Inspired and Breakfast
I wanted some ramen but we didn’t have all the ingredients. I will definitely be remaking this next week with meat and pickled veggies!
I made a super delicious and quick broth using water, kombu, bonito flakes, soy sauce, coconut aminos, sea salt, rice vinegar, chili paste and fish sauce! It took less than 30 minutes to make and it was so flavorful! I added some millet and brown rice ramen noodles and a couple boiled eggs that I marinated in soy sauce and coconut aminos.
Leftovers for breakfast! We had some leftover pasta (brown rice pasta in a roasted tomato sauce with onions, garlic and jalapeño), so I added eggs, brown rice flour and flax seeds and cooked it in some extra virgin olive oil!
Green Smoothie with Tropical Fruit
I love a quick green smoothie meal! But if you want this as a snack, you can easily omit the collagen and —most or all of—the nuts and seeds!
This is a favorite combo in our house.
Serves 2:
- 2 cups of water
- 1 banana
- 3 large handfuls of greens
- Juice of half a lemon
- Small pinch of sea salt
- 1 1/2 TB hemp seeds
- 1 1/2 TB flax seeds
- 4 scoops collagen peptides
- 3 rounded cups frozen tropical fruit
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until well combined. You may have to add more water, depending on your blender.
Enjoy!
