There are lots of changes happening lately. I have this habit of keeping my life always spinning…I’m always somewhere new and doing something different. While I love my lifestyle, I notice that this blog is always the first place to suffer. Needless to say, the last few months have been crazy. Once things slow down a bit, I’d like to do an update soon…<\/p>\n

…but for today, I’d like to share my newest smoothie. I love transforming sugar-filled desserts into healthy smoothies, so when I found myself with an abundance of blackberries in my fridge I decided to do a healthy take on a blackberry crumble dessert.<\/p>\n

Vega<\/a> sent me a kit of smoothie love with Silk almond milk<\/a> and protein powder to celebrate the “back to school” (or for me, going to work) season. I love how easy it is to quickly throw things in the blender and take a smoothie on your commute. I’m trying to make this my “ride to work” habit. It doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple is the name of the game with Vega smoothies.<\/p>\n

Get your blender ready! Serves 2.<\/p>\n

Blackberry Cobbler Smoothie<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 3\/4 cup fruit herbal tea*<\/li>\n
  2. 1\/2 cup Greek yogurt**<\/li>\n
  3. 3\/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened<\/li>\n
  4. 1 serving of French Vanilla Vega protein<\/a> powder<\/li>\n
  5. 1 cup frozen blackberries<\/li>\n
  6. a few ice-cubes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0Smoothie Topping<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. 1 tbsp. organic coconut oil, melted<\/li>\n
    2. 1 tbsp. organic coconut sugar<\/li>\n
    3. 1 tbsp. organic coconut flour<\/li>\n
    4. 1 tbsp. organic flax seed, freshly ground<\/li>\n
    5. fresh blackberries<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      *I chilled it the night before
      \n<\/i>**If you want to keep this recipe vegan, there are some great vegan coconut yogurts<\/i><\/p>\n

      Blend all your smoothie ingredients together. Pour into two glasses.<\/p>\n

      Mix the smoothie topping together with a spoon. Make sure to grind the flaxseed fresh (I used a small coffee grinder – it works great!) as often pre-ground flaxseed will be rancid and taste a little bit “off”.<\/p>\n

      Sprinkle the top of the smoothies with the “crumble” topping and fresh blackberries. Serve! This is a great after-dinner dessert as well!<\/p>\n
