Vanilla Cinnamon Nut Yoghurt Bowl Recipe

March 28, 2018

Follow me

Vanilla, cinnamon and Greek yoghurt topped with fruit and nut toppings is one of my go-to breakfast, pre- or post- workout meals, lunch or even a lazy dinner. Basically, it works anytime of day where you need something healthy and easy. While simple looking, this bowl is the perfect and delicious mix of lean protein, probiotics, vitamins, antioxidants, natural anti-inflammatories and healthy fats.

I always have these healthy staples in the house: Greek Yoghurt, a pantry stocked with a variety of raw nuts, a piece of fruit, vanilla extract, cinnamon & honey. This means, if all else fails, I can whip up at least one healthy meal.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole fat Greek Yoghurt

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 pinches cinnamon

1/2 cup sliced strawberries or other fruit

1 tbsp toasted raw nuts (roast raw nut in a dry pan over medium heat for extra flavor or skip this step if short on time)

Flax seeds

Honey

Directions:

Whip yoghurt with cinnamon and vanilla extract. Top with 1/2 cup sliced fruit, flaxseed and roasted walnuts. Drizzle with honey.

ENJOY!

As always, thank you for stopping by Jackie Unfiltered. You might ask yourself why did Jackie take the time to post such a simple recipe? I started this blog to share real information that will help real women in their real lives. I have no interest in using hard to find ingredients to create recipes that no one will ever use. This isn’t about food or fashion art. You will NEVER see me doing a headstand on a rock in the middle of nowhere. This website is and will always be about a regular woman trying to eat healthy, look stylish and be in the best shape possible. That is my definition of self-care. #CarryOn

Spring Forward Smoothie Recipe (Kale, Berries, Apple, Lemon)

March 12, 2018

Follow me

Although I woke up to a dreary and cold New York City morning, today’s smoothie with kale, berries, apples, lemon and tangy Greek yoghurt made me think about the bounty of Spring that lies just ahead. Clocks turned forward an hour this past weekend, snow is gently melting in the Northeast (although Sikia the “CTO” just warned me about another storm later this week…say whaaat) and I’m headed to Jamaica this coming weekend to celebrate my Georgetown Law School homie’s 40th Birthday. All this means that bikinis, shorter hemlines and bare shoulders are on tap in the very very near future! As my girl Keeba would say, we should “stay ready so we don’t have to get ready.” However, in the spirit of honesty, I do watch what I eat a little more closely when swimsuit wearing time is within my sight line. That’s why this easy to throw together smoothie is a perfect way to “get ready” as it’s low in calories & carbs but high in good fat, protein, nutrients and minerals. As my fellow gym rats say, “this is what you call clean eating.” Because of the fat to protein and carb ration in this recipe, I find this type of smoothie fuels busy mornings in front of the computer, provides sustained energy an afternoon #sweatysesh or even serves as a “too tired to cook dinner” option in the evening.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup Almond Milk

1 cup Whole Fat Greek Yoghurt

1 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)

2 cups Chopped Kale (fresh or frozen)

1 chopped Apple

1/2 peeled lemon

2 tbsp flax seeds

1 cup ice (only if using fresh fruit)

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a Vitamix (or other high powered blender) and blend on pre-programmed ‘Smoothie’ setting. If the smoothie is too thick, add water. If you like a frothier or colder smoothie, add more ice. Enjoy!

? Jackie Tip: By the way, this is my favorite Vitamix Model that I use to make my smoothies. Check it out as this machine cuts through every conceivable fruit and vegetable! Worth every penny. My favorite appliance in the kitchen. Hands down. No contest. Click HERE to purchase and/or learn more.

As always, thank you for stopping by Jackie Unfiltered. I don’t know about you but I “is ready” for wearing sandals, showing some skin and feeling some warmer temps.

I truly believe the old saying, “you are what you eat” and that “the outside glow you desire really comes from within.” As the season changes from Summer to Fall, our bodies react to the different temperatures. Many of us will catch colds or viruses, our skin will get dry or even itchy and our faces might begin to look dull. We can fight these seasonal epidemics with the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories found in everyday vibrant fruits and vegetables. Basically what I’m trying to politely tell you is that the reason why that hot-off-the-shelves Fenty gold highlighter is failing you is because of your diet and not the product. #Truth #DontBeMadAtTheMessenger You want to glow, change what you eat first and then let’s talk!

Almond Milk – Vitamin E, protein, fiber, riboflavin, calcium and potassium
Strawberries – Vitamin C, manganese, folate, potassium, antioxidants
Spinach – calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamin A, folate
Raw Walnuts – omega 3 fats, antioxidants, copper, folic acid, phosphorous, Vitamin B-6 & E, manganese
Fresh Ginger – vitamins B-6, magnesium, prosperous, zinc, folate, riboflavin, niacin

Martha’s Vineyard Green Machine ReBooster Smoothie

October 11, 2017

Follow me

Every August, with friends near and far, we make a pilgrimage to Martha’s Vineyard, a charming Massachusetts island just south of Cape Cod. We spend several weeks “on island” with family and friends using the time to reconnect, recharge and rebirth our souls. Many days are spent at the beach sipping champagne while watching the kids throw the football, run into the surf and jump the “bridge.” Evenings are long and lazy dinners with friends, maybe a limbo contest under the stars and always a few backyard fish frys. At least once during every stay, we drive up-island to watch the sun dip into the Atlantic ocean for a famous “Menemsha” sunset. We eat copious amounts of freshly caught lobster often while sitting on sandy towels and drinking homemade cocktails from plastic cups. As the vacation clock ticks, each of us await for the special moment during our visit on “the rock” where optimism replaces our general pessimistic malaise. The moment where we exhale saying to ourselves, “all is right with the world” as we look around at the sunkissed faces of people we love and souls that reflect who and what we are. We each bottle that moment and carry the feeling inside until next August.

People are always stunned to know that some days we have over 100 people gathered together on the beach.

I created this smoothie during this year’s annual trip becuase I wanted a flavor that would take me back to an island so many of us call “our happy place.” The sweet peaches, creamy avocado and tart yoghurt instantly transport me to those long summer days and subtle island breezes.

Martha’s Vineyard Green Machine ReBooster Smoothie

The potassium found in the superfood of avocado combined with the vitamin, anti-oxidant spinach leaves and natural sweetness of peaches will leave you feeling revitalized and ready to take on the world. Welcome to the sweet taste of of Martha’s Vineyard island life.

Let me introduce you to my green vanilla milkshake smoothie recipe!!! I have prepared myself for you not to believe that this green-frothy-glass-of-total-goodness tastes just like those high fat and calorie laden drinks served up at your favorite dinner, fast food joint or ice-cream parlor.

For details on the fab jewels above, see our Spring Fashion Post.

I am overly ready for the naysayers and haters to refer me to their physician to get my head checked. In fact, you’re belly laughing right now saying to yourself, “Okay Jackie, I was with you on the smoothie bowl, willing to try banana split overnight oats and was somewhat okay with the green monster smoothie recipe, but no way am I believing this glass of liquified avocado and spinach tastes like a vanilla milkshake.” Hmmm…I just love the sweet reward of saying, “I told you so.”

As our bodies begin to thaw from Winter and prepare for the longer days ahead, this mix of strawberries, blueberries and almonds is a yummy way to replace a meal, have before or after a good workout or anytime you crave something sweet.

Everyone always asks me, “Hey Jackie, what type of blender do you use to make your smoothies?” Before they finish the question, I am yelling, “A Vitamix.” This machine and I have had a love affair for almost 10 years. It blends up the silkiest smoothies breaking down even the toughest of food such as raw beets, celery and nuts. I also use the Vitamix for pureeing vegetable soups , making large quanties of salad dressing or even creating chunky sauces like homemade tomato sauce. Buying a vitamix is one of the best kitchen investments I have ever made. I have talked every one of my friends into purchasing one. Each one falls in love the same. After a few days, you wonder how you ever lived without this magic machine. Check it out!

Some mornings, my mind wants the antioxidants, minerals and vitamins from a smoothie but my taste buds want something they can chew and gnaw on.

On those days, I make a smoothie bowl, a thicker smoothie (less liquid) with some healthy toppings added for a little crunch and heartier consistency.

The toppings can include raw nuts, unsweetened coconut and crunchy fruit such as grapes, firm apples, pears or chopped citrus. So you see, a smoothie bowl keeps my heart, my stomach and my waistline happy. Win-Win!

As always, thank you for stopping by Jackie Unfiltered. You might wonder why this recipe is called “The Ohio Players.” Well, I am dedicating this smoothie to my Ohio family. First, there is Sikia, my ace who lovingly helped me create Jackie Unfiltered and fixes all those pesky technical problems that seem to pop up daily. Second, there is Sikia’s mom who I call “Momma Connie.” She likes every social media post, reads every blog article and conquers every workout and fitness challenge. As you know, I lost my mom when I was 20 years old so I secretly imagine that Momma Connie’s “likes” and “comments” are validations from my own mother. Thank you Ohio fam from the bottom of my heart!

The “BK Way” Orange Beet Berry Elixer Smoothie Recipe

February 27, 2017

Beet Orange Elixer Smoothie Recipe | www.jackieunfiltered.com

Follow me

Are you seeing brightly colored purple, orange and red beets everywhere you turn these days? I sure am! We see beets on restaurant menus, beautiful Instagram pictures and piled up at the grocery store. I did a little research and found that this beautiful vegetable, also known as “blood turnips,” are low in sodium, fat and pack some serious nutritional punch!

Beets are naturally high in folate, which promotes brain function, and are excellent for those with iron deficiencies as it works with B-12. Beets are also high in the mineral manganese, which promotes blood clotting, anti-aging properties and “sex hormones.” Hey, don’t blame me; this is what the research says! This smoothie recipe blends raw beets with low-glycemic berries, sweet oranges packed with Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory pineapple and ginger, a fiber rich apple and toxic cleansing lime. The result is a nutritional elixer that that will have you looking good from the inside out. As you know, I don’t believe in eating food (especially smoothies!) that don’t make your flavor buds explode so this receipe is the perfect blend of tart, sweet and earthy.

The "BK Way" Orange Beet Berry Elixer Smoothie Recipe

Beets marry orange, apple, carrot, berries and ginger in this smoothie recipe to create a supercharged elixer that will leave you feeling pretty inside out.

The “Green Monster” Revitalizing Smoothie Recipe

February 21, 2017

Green Monster Revitalizing Smoothie Recipe | www.jackieunfiltered.com

Follow me

Why does a green smoothie leave you feeling revitalized, rejuvenated and refreshed? My answer is that the vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants naturally found in green fruits and veggies are nature’s gift of “energy:”

Green apples are high in Vitamin C and low in calories.
Pears are high in fiber while a pear’s skin has antioxidants, anti-infammatories for those sore and achy muscles and a boatload of fiber.
Kiwis are high in vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium and low in calories.
Kale is known as a superfood becuase it’s low in calories, has zero fat, supports the cardiovascular system and is high in all the good stuff like iron, vitamin K and powerful antioxidants.
Spinach is yet another low calorie superfood loaded with almost too many benefits to name such as vitamins, protein, fiber, magnesium and copper.

Oh yeah, and because I just don’t believe in eating food (especially smoothies!) that don’t taste extra darn good, this smoothie is the perfect blend of tart and sweet with a touch of spice from the ginger.
