we should invade Peru to secure the nation’s strategic quinoa reserves

Sometimes, there's just no time for milk.

i put cottage cheese in my quinoa-venison chili last night

Smoothie bowls #1 and #2, both reverse engineered from Kreation Kafe in Santa Monica:

Blueberry Smoothie Bowl

2 FROZEN bananas
bunch of frozen blueberries (maybe 1.5 cups?)
approx 1/4c almond butter
rice/almond/cashew milk
2 tsp maca powder

Blend all together in a blender. Consistency should be thick and temp should be cold. It won’t be nearly as good if your fruit is room temp or you have used too much milk. Spoon into a bowl, and top with any variation of the following:

Diced apples, banana slices, other available ripe fruits
Soaked chia seeds (i soak mine overnight in some nut milk, and a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, cocoa powder)
Hemp hearts or flax seeds
Meusli
raw cocoa nibs
choco-mint or coconut CBD oil





Mint-Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

2 FROZEN bananas
handful spinach
fresh mint
1/8 tsp peppermint oil
1/2 avocado (optional, you don’t really taste it but it adds good nutrition and texture)
approx 1/4c almond butter
rice/almond/cashew milk
2 tsp maca powder
handful of dates (no sugar added dates)
approx 1/8 cup raw cocoa nibs

Blend all together in a blender. Consistency should be thick and temp should be cold. It won’t be nearly as good if your fruit is room temp or you have used too much milk. Spoon into a bowl, and top with any variation of the following:

Diced apples, banana slices, or other available ripe fruit
Soaked chia seeds (i soak mine overnight in some nut milk, a little vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and cinnamon)
Hemp hearts or flax seeds
Meusli
raw cocoa nibs
choco-mint or coconut CBD oil

This post puts be square between the rock of classic venison chili love and the hard place of jubilant verve in the kitchen.

not too different than adding sour cream to cut the heat a bit
