WHAT IS YOUR DAILY HEALTHY HABIT? For me it's smoo WHAT IS YOUR DAILY HEALTHY HABIT? For me it's smoothies for breakfast 90% of the time. SO many combos and frozen ingredients give the best thick texture, who wouldn't want that... Healthy habits that become a part of your lifestyle are ideal, you don't want to be dieting forever sis! This Berry Blast "PB & J" Protein Smoothie was SO yummy!
.
.
Smoothie for 2
2-3 cups unsweetened almond milk @almondbreeze
1.5 frozen banana
1 cup frozen mixed berries
3 slices frozen zucchini
1 tbsp almond butter
1 slice ginger
2 scoops vegan vanilla protein

Blend in a high power blender and  enjoy!

I DON'T BUY FRESH FISH. Ok hear me out... the MAJO I DON'T BUY FRESH FISH. Ok hear me out... the MAJORITY of the fish at the grocery store says "fresh" salmon or whatever. Then says previously frozen. Aka they defrosted frozen fish for you. It then sits there for a few days until you buy it and cook it. This results in a super fishy flavour and funky texture sometimes too. So unless I'm buying it legit off of a fishing boat/market... I opt for frozen! Seafood is actually frozen AT SEA at its peak. Also, it's way easier to keep on hand and defrosts quickly in some cool water or overnight. It's cheaper too! What's your favourite seafood? I still haven't cooked with scallops 🙃
.
P.s. I wasn't a huge fan of fish growing up but kept trying because omega 3 fats are AMAZING so now I love it. I started with white fish like tilapia and worked my way up. My GO TO recipe for salmon is patting it dry, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, @traderjoes chilli lime seasoning, drizzle of @wedderspoonofficial honey. Baked at 400F for 8ish minutes. Perfect every time 🥳.
