I don’t know about where you live but here in Portland we have hit a heat wave. I’m telling you I can’t even walk out my front door without instantly breaking a sweat. Who knew the PNW could be so dang hot? Anyways all this heat has me avoiding our stove and oven like the plague. So what does one eat in a heat wave? Smoothie Bowls!

This whole idea of smoothie bowls and acai bowls is not new and it’s actually a culinary concept that I resisted for years but here I am blogging about them now because currently they are my life. They are perfect for any meal and are extremely versatile. Below is my current go-to Acai Smoothie Bowl:

The Trim Protein from Genesis contains a mixture of quinoa, amaranth, chia and other sprouted seeds. It has 16 g of plant-based protein per serving and is packed with superfoods such acai, mangosteen and goji berry. It also contains Garcinia Cambogia a fruit native to Southeast Asia that contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which is known to help promote weight loss.

I add the Greens powder because it helps support healthy digestion and daily nutrition. It also contains two of my favorite superfoods spirulina because it contains many essential vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and 18 different amino acids and flax seeds an important source of Omega-3 fatty acids. A bonus that this greens powder 25 Billion probiotics per serving, in other words your gut will thank you.

My last superfood add in is Acai 100 because I love to nourish not only my insides but also my outsides. Acai is known to promote healthy skin. I also can always use the energy boost acai provides especially when it comes to spending my days chasing two littles.

This month I have the incredibly opportunity to work with Genesis Today. I’ll be working with them to share recipes using their amazing superfood products. I have been using their products for years so working them is a hugely exciting thing. 

I’ve been working on a number of recipes but the first one that came to mind was something light, refreshing and oh so Summer – LEMONADE! I love making all kinds of different lemonades so when I saw that GOJI 100 was one of the superfoods I’d be able to share I was thrilled because this stuff is super sweet and delicious. Perfect for pairing with tart lemons.

I made myself a personal size lemonade but I recommend making an entire pitcher of it for your fridge because one glass just won’t be enough. Besides tasting amazing there are so many incredible benefits from the GOJI 100. Goji berries can be found theHimalayan regions of Asia and is known as the ‘Happy Berry’ – what a great name right!  So think of this as Happy Berry Lemonade – now who doesn’t want to drink something that could make them a little bit happier!

I personally choose to drink GOJI 100 because it is known to supports a positive mood.  There is nothing more in life that I want than to feel relaxed, positive and vibrant.  So cheers!goji lemonade 10
