The Fab Four Smoothie

I have an entire cabinet filled with smoothie ingredients. No, not because I think I’m fancy…it’s because I can never find the time to waltz around the kitchen and prepare a breakfast that involves cooking of any kind. I’m one who sleeps in as late as possible (currently trying to change this situation, but more on that another day).

I need something quick, healthy, and efficient in the morning, and this smoothie checks all of the boxes. I bought Body Love by Kelly LeVeque about a year ago, and love her advice on smoothies, AKA the FAB FOUR SMOOTHIE.

Wait, what is the fab four smoothie?

The fab four smoothie includes: fiber, greens, protein, & healthy fat. 

Easy, right?

The Fab Four Smoothie will keep you full for HOURS. Like 4-6 hours. Amazing, right? We’ve all been in that place where you’re STARVING by the time 12 pm hits, and all you want to do is stuff your face when your blood sugar drops. Not with this smoothie.

Let’s get into the recipe…

INGREDIENTS

+ Garden of Life Vanilla Sport Protein (Vegan)

+ 1 Tablespoon chia seeds

+ 1 Tablespoon flax seeds

+ 1.5 Tablespoons raw almond butter

+ Handful (at least 1.5 cups of spinach)

+ Pinch of cinnamon

+ Pinch of raw cacao chips

+ Lots of ice and some water

♡ Directions: Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender. I always drink my smoothies out of an Ello cup and a stainless steel straw. I discovered this cup after Jessica Alba recommended it! Love it so much, and love that it comes in a hot pink color.

et’s talk more about ingredients. The above smoothie includes the Fab Four, but you can mix it up however you like. I prefer raw almond butter for my healthy fat, but you could use coconut oil, peanut butter, or avocado.

As for greens, use whatever you like! I am personally not a fan of spinach on its own, but the taste is so mild in a smoothie. I pile in as much as I can/whatever will fit in the blender. It’s such an easy way to get those greens in!

Do you have smoothie suggestions? Please share! Let me know how you like it if you try this recipe!

xo, Lynn

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections.

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖
