Almond Joy Breakfast Smoothie Bowl

January 4, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday to you!  Today I have a very simple, tasty breakfast that will fill you for hours and will satisfy that sweet tooth you may have leftover from the holiday season.  Lets get crackin with today’s recipe.  Almond Joys Breakfast Smoothie Bowl.  Yummers!
Almond Joy Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
Today’s recipe is based on one of my all time favorite candy bars, the Almond Joy. I am just a freak when it comes to chocolate and coconut, however, I try to stay away because I can totally eat a ton of it. So instead of a candy bar I made a healthy, good for you breakfast that tastes just like an Almond Joy.
Almond Joy Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
The smoothie bowl is made with cocoa powder, chia seeds, greek yogurt, coconut milk and what gives it the almond joy flavor is the coconut and almond extract. This smoothie is super thick and it really needs to be eaten with a spoon. However if you’re in a rush and you want to drink your smoothie, just add a little more coconut milk to it.
Almond Joy Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
The smoothie is super simple to make too! The night before, add all of your ingredients in a bowl or even a blender, and place in the refrigerator. In the morning, just process it in the blender until creamy smooth. If you are in a rush or want this right now, just make it and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour, while you get dressed. You want your oats to get all creamy smooth. The Chia seeds not only give it a protein boost but it also thickens up the smoothie even more.

Almond Joy Breakfast Smoothie Bowl
I think this is a great way to start off a weekend! I am trying to stay away from sweets, but when the craving hits, a smoothie like this is just perfect! It’s loaded with fiber and protein, low calorie and filled with yummy goodness.

I have a quick Sampson (dog) story for you. When I take pictures for my blog, I prep all of my food, get it ready and realize I need a prop. My props are located in the other room. I literally have to run, almost falling to get my props, because my boy Sampson will steal my food. He waits, watches and when my back is turned for two seconds the tongue comes out and you here a smack and he’s got my food. His tongue is like a whip! When my Husband is home, I tell him watch Sampson, so he calls him over and Sampson sits on the floor at the end of the couch. Well the other day I told him, you be good, I’m watching you and you know what he did? He walked over to the spot where he sits and just sat there and watched me. He actually for the first time didn’t try to steal my food. Yah, I am hoping that he will stick to this. I have seen food obsessed dogs before, but nothing like my boy. He loves when I cook and he just sits there and waits. My girl, Samantha, she could care less, unless I’m baking something with pumpkin. lol

Well that’s it for me! Have a super, great Wednesday!

Toodles,


Jennifer

    Sampson sounds just like my parents dog. I had an unfortunate pie eating incident with him over the holidays when I was trying to take some photos. They are just so quick!

    This looks super yummy, think I’m going to have to give it a go!

    I just found this recipe on Pinterest and I would love to try it. I eat wheat and soy-free, but am now attempting to exclude dairy as well. Is there an appropriate substitute for the greek yogurt? Thanks!

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      May 15, 2014 at 5:44 PM

      You can use dairy yogurt, like coconut yogurt or even soy yogurt. I hope that helps.

    I’m guessing by plain yogurt you meant plain Vanilla yogurt? I was so excited to try this and made it last night. I followed the recipe exactly and it tasted like sour cream. So awful! Can you clarify what kind of yogurt you used?

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
