Savory Vegan Breakfast Bowl

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Each time I do the Reboot, I’m inspired to make new recipes! Since this is a fully plant based/vegan diet, I tend to have mostly sweet versus savory breakfasts since eggs are not allowed. It got me thinking that I could just recreate one of my favorite egg dishes without the egg and that’s exactly what I did 🙂 This breakfast is packed with veggies, so much flavor and makes you forget all about the eggs. Highly recommend trying it for breakfast or any other meal for that matter!

Plant Based Mezzo Bowl

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Happy Monday! You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been having plant based “little adapts” bowls on repeat this summer because I find them to be:

  1. Convenient
  2. Completely satisfying

If you watched the my live testimonial with my client Emma last week, she noted how the “little adapts” bowls are her absolute favorite recipe (and many of my clients!) The key to being able to throw these bowls together on the fly is to have some veggies pre-chopped in your fridge (or leftovers), nuts/seeds/beans in the pantry, and of course GREENS! Lastly since I’m making lunch for Dubs + I, we throw everything in one big bowl together to save ourselves time and dishes. I like to call these “big bowl salads”. Since I’ve been making them on pretty often, I’ve come up with a lot of creative recipes and this recent one literally hit the spot, especially if you like Mediterranean style bowls. Feel free to adjust the recipe with what you have on hand and I promise it will still be super tasty!

Nut + Granola Bowl

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

I try to keep breakfast as easy + quick as possible these days! Typically, when I want a “cereal” bowl – I either make a muesli or granola bowl. However, I recently made breakfast out of leftover trail mix and fruit we had when we were on our National Park tour and it’s become a weekly staple. In an effort to keep myself more satisfied + full, reduce sugar + carb intake, and reduce snacking in between breakfast and lunch, this nut + granola is the perfect breakfast. It takes less than 5 minutes to make, including the time you might need to slice up some fruit, and you’re eating in no time! *Note: You can use any nuts, seeds, and granola you have on hand.

Green Smoothie Bowl

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Happy Monday! I love a good acai bowl, but unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to buy any frozen acai packets since I’ve been out here! I decided to make a green smoothie bowl instead and it came out incredible that I think “smoothie bowls” will have to become a new thing for me. I also managed to pack lots of veggies in there. “Little adapt”: I used a combo of frozen mangos + zucchini and there was no need to use a banana for extra creaminess! Hope you enjoy this bowl as much as I did – happy eating!

PBJ Cauliflower Porridge

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Not going to lie, but the first time I made this recipe it was pretty good. I definitely knew that I was eating cauliflower though. However, now that I’ve perfected the recipe after making it 3 or 4 times on the Reboot – I’m OBSESSED! I actually prefer this to real oatmeal and the best part? The main 2 ingredients are: cauliflower rice + coconut milk! If you’re doing low carb or keto, this is a must for a morning staple 🙂 While I don’t eat low carb or count my calories/macros, I am:

  1. “Carb conscious” on a mostly plant based diet
  2. Always trying to get as many veggies in daily

Lastly, it’s super quick to make and cooks faster than regular oatmeal. You are very welcome!
