If you're mourning summer, try this

Sept Squeeze program people, skip that fruit

Everyone is so dramatic. Everywhere I looked yesterday I read about a "last glass of rose'" or "last bonfire". I'm here to say we're passed Labor Day and you made it, it'll be ok. And in fact summer isn't technically over, in NYC it's still hot as hell. We're not ready just yet to soup and sweater, for us it's still smoothie season. If that intro annoyed you, if you're a little sad today (I get it I'm sad Bachelor in Paradise is over, silly things affect us) try one of our favorite smoothie recipes this Lemon Basil Smoothie. It's gluten free, dairy free and friggin' delicious. Everyone in the room not only accepted a sample but genuinely liked it (not always the case). See what you think. 
 And as you can see the Foodtrainers' blog is back. One client asked me, "did you stop blogging?" Nope, just generally unproductive this summer but hopefully that tide is turning. Any topics you want to see covered? Anything foodwise you're looking forward to? Anyone else watch that silly show Paradise? Someone say yes.

The truth about smoothie bowls

Smoothie bowls have been popping up everywhere. And while Carolyn and I are happy to test-drive any (ok most) trends we hesitated with these big bowls. We explained our "cold feet" in this month's Monthy Morsels newsletter  along with what to do and skip when it comes to these creations. 

Here's our featured recipe (pictured above)

Cocomint Smoothie Bowl

Handful ice

Handful fresh mint

Banana or frozen banana

1 tbs each of philosophie green dream, gelatin and coconut oil

splash harmless harvest

dash Pantea matcha

pinch Himalayan salt

Nustevia drops (I like lemon nustevia with this)

 Choose your toppings- cocochia, gojis shown here    

Add ingredients to Vitamix (yup we declared ourselves blender bitches but need a strong gizmo), blend and pour into ramekin or small bowl.

Do you make smoothie bowls? Favorite ingredients? What are you having or did you have for breakfast today? Are you a blender bitch (or blender snob)?
