How to make this blueberry smoothie

What I like about this recipe is that the simplicity. Just put all the ingredients in the blender, mix it, and top it off with your favorite toppings. If you are in a rush and need a quick, healthy breakfast or snack, you can make this in no time. Besides that, you don’t need a fancy blender for this recipe. I’m sure you’ve also came across these amazing smoothie recipes and then find out you need a $400 dollar blender to blend it properly. Those recipes have unfortunately killed many blenders and hearts. You don’t have to worry about that with this recipe. My cheap blender did it with no effort.

For this smoothie I use almond milk, because that tastes the best in my opinion, but you can use any other plant milk. Next add the blueberries and a tablespoon of almond-cashewbutter. Again, this is more of a preference, you can use any other nutbutter. However, if you follow my ingredients, you will be sure it is going to be a succes. Next add two tablespoons of rolled oats, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Blend all those ingredients together and you will have a beautiful purple smoothie.

Get creative with the toppings. For inspiration you can check out this healthy vegan banana split receipe. I like to top if off with flax seeds, cacao nibs, coconut yoghurt and leftover blueberries.

The ingredients below are for 2 servings, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have those 2 servings for myself. If you have made this smoothie as well, make sure to tag me on instagram so I can repost it! And if you have any questions, you can leave a comment below!

How to make burrito zucchini boats

Start by creating the zucchini boats and preheating the oven. Cut of the edges of the zucchini, slice it in half lenghtwise and scoop out the flesh, which you can save for another recipe later. Pour a little bit of olive oil inside the zucchini boats before placing it in the oven. Bake the zucchini boats for 10 minutes so it softens, before adding the mixture.


For the filling you can use many ingredients. For this recipe we use ground beef, but you can also use chicken, ground turkey or even rice and quinoa if you want to make it vegan. Mix the ground beef with onion, seasoning, corn and black beans. I also like to add two tablespoons of tomato sauce.

Take the zucchini boats out the oven after 10 minutes and pour the mixture inside them. Lastly sprinkle shredded cheese on top and put it in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Get creative with the toppings. The burrito zucchini boats are amazing themselves, but I like adding avocado and green onions, which makes it an irresistible dish.

Tips to make the avocado caprese salad

Use the freshest tomatoes and avocado you can find. The quality of these ingredients can make a big difference in taste. It’s not hard to find ripe, cherry tomatoes, but the avocado can be tricky one. Sometimes it feels like they are only ripe for 5 minutes.

To make sure you’re using a ripe avocado that’s perfectly green and creamy on the inside, and free from ugly brown spots, the key is checking under the stem. If it comes away easily and you find green underneath, you should be happy because this means you have found a 10/10 avocado that went to private school.

I prefer to use cherry tomatoes instead of whole tomatoes. I found them sweeter and juicier than regular tomatoes. However, regular tomatoes also go well, just chop them up small.

If you don’t have balsamic glaze you can also easily make it yourself. Just place the vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Let it simmer, until it has thickened and reduced to about 1/4 the original amount

Balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy taste to the caprese salad. I prefer it over the vinegar because the flavor is more rich and intense. If you have neither, it is fine to leave it out. The original caprese salad doesn’t call for balsamic glaze, but I do think it adds an amazing flavor.

You can store the caprese salad or any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 2-3 days in the fridge. So you can make the avocado caprese salad ahead of time, but it is best enjoyed immediatly after making.

This salad is perfect as an appetizer. You can also serve this salad as a side with protein next to it, like chicken. That will make it a full, balanced meal.
