Vampire Smoothie Bowl
By McKel Hill, Nutrition Stripped
This smoothie bowl contains the frozen puree of dragon fruit, frozen banana rich in potassium, frozen raspberries giving another kick of color and fiber while being low in sugar, a boost in healthy saturated fats from coconut milk and optional ingredients like a protein powder to keep this macronutrient balanced, bee pollen for added nutrition, maca for added minerals, superfood powders (this one is from my sweet friend and they taste amazing) and medicinal mushroom powders for added antioxidants- all of these powder ingredients are completely optional but I have them on hand and love popping them in here!

Zombie Zucchini Oats
By Ksenia Avdulova, Breakfast Criminals
Ever since seeing Nutrition Stripped’s zoats recipe, I’ve been obsessed with them! A combination of shredded zucchini and oats, zoats make an incredibly satisfying and nutrient-packed breakfast. Simply add grated zucchini to oats and cook them as you normally would, or take it to a whole new level with these creamy and incredibly satisfying chocolate pumpkin zoats. Vegetables have never tasted so good – you can’t even make them out in this creamy chocolate pudding of a meal!
Gather This:
- 1 small zucchini
- 1 cup almond milk (I love Califia brand)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (or 1/2 cup baked pumpkin, chopped in cubes)
- 2 tbsp. raw cacao powder or Philosophie Cacao Magic Superfood + Protein Blend
- 2 tbsp. sweetener of your choice – I recommend brown rice syrup or honey
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
