Mango Avo Smoothie

Motivation Monday: “I can & I will.”

Ok soooo shirts are still not up in the store guys! I thought I could get it done last week, but I’ve been so busy! Five days in, and August has already been a crazy month!

I haven’t done a smoothie recipe for quite some time and sine the weather is heating up here in Southern California, I thought it was about time. Have you ever tried avocado in a smoothie? Not only does it add a dose of healthy fats, omega-3, vitamins A, C, E, K and B6, along with an enormous amount of potassium, but it adds the perfect creaminess to your morning schmoozie. If you aren’t a fan of avocados, this is a great place to start since the flavor is very mild and almost unrecognizable in this mix of mango and yogurt.

Add some healthy plant-based fats to your morning smoothie with a little dose of avo!

Chobani WTFlavor Giveaway (CLOSED)

First things first: Congratulations to the winner of my Nutrex Hawaii Spirulina Giveaway, Jasmine B!
Be sure to check your email so I can get your prize to you!

Second thin: because I love you guys so much, I have another giveaway for you!

Chobani sent me a huge case of  unlabeled “classified” 60z cups filled with their new flavors for me to sample. For their new campaign #WTFlavor, they wanted me to identify the new flavors in a blind taste test! I love Chobani’s creative marketing & social media teams! They are absolutely hilarious, witty, great writers, and such a joy to work with. The only problem with this campaign? Probably not a great idea for someone who has numerous food allergies haha. Talk about yogurt roulette! Never fear I talked to my friends at CHO and was guided on which cups to stay away from. Those flavors went to my sister to enjoy haha.

If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my yogurt roulette photos as I tried to identify the flavs, and ohhhhhh was I excited (especially) about one of them! I had been secretly campaigning for the Key Lime flavor ever since it made it’s debut in the Chobani Flips. I would Instagram, Tweet, Facebook, and Blog about how much I loved the Key Lime flavor. Basically anything to get it through to CHO that I was completely obsessed with this flavor. Low and behold, the third “classified” cup that I tried was KEY LIME!!! Yesss The Greek (yogurt) Gods had answered!

Dinner, Life, Obsessions, Restaurant Hop

Chobani LA Dinner

Yesterday I had the honor of attending a Chobani dinner with Amy Keefe (Chobani) and some über awesome LA bloggers! Dinner was held at Hatfield’s in West Hollywood for an evening of nothing but good food and drinks, complete with Chobani-inspired dishes specially prepared by acclaimed chef Quinn Hatfield. I entered the restaurant to see a group of lively bloggers and Amy, the girl behind the Chobani emails! It’s so exciting when you finally get to put a face to the name of someone you have been talking to via email. Amy is hilarious and so much fun to chat with! After dinner, we decided we were long lost soul sisters. I definitely need to make a trip to the Chobani SoHo Yogurt Bar in the big apple and say hi to all of my other email pen pals at Chobani! CHO has the funniest bunch of employees I have ever worked with.

I was so excited to meet some blogger pen pals and new bloggy friends like the adorable Jessica from What Would Jessica Eat?,  Kelly from Foodie Fiasco (um ya, this little powerhouse is a freshman in high school. She is so inspiring and wise beyond her years! Needless to say I am obsessed with her), and Adrianna of A Cozy Kitchen. Adrianna and I found out that we both have tri-colored Corgis and after that… there was tons of squealing, picture showing, and “awwwws” going on until wee hours into the night. Proud corgi mommas. Oh, and I decided that my Corgi Teddy and her Corgi Amelia are dating. It’s love.

Why do I love Chobani so much?
Besides their awesome employees, I love that their yogurt is natural and Greek strained. It’s made with only milk and cultures with the addition of real fruit and cane sugar in flavored options. Some brands market their product as Greek yogurt, but in fact it isn’t true Greek strained yogurt. Be aware that “Greek-Style” yogurt is not the same. Greek-style yogurts contain additives, milk concentrate, and added whey protein to make the yogurt taste and mimic the texture of authentic Greek yogurt.

So what is Greek Yogurt?
The word Greek refers to the straining process which gives the yogurt it’s thick texture and high protein content. True Greek yogurt only contains milk and live & active cultures.

Did you know that Chobani uses 3 pounds of milk for every 1 pound of Chobani Greek Yogurt? Thats where that high protein rich creaminess comes from!

Once again, I’m not really a meat eater at all, especially red meat, but I’ll try anything once. I like to live life on the edge! haha. The potatoes and roasted broccolini were out of this world. Oh. my. gosh. Absolutely mouthwatering!

Chobani LA DinnerFifth Course: Meyer Lemon and Chobani Yogurt Meringue Tart

Minus the huckleberry because of my allergy!
