Hazelnuts come from birch trees. Who knew? They contain tons of
nutritional value, including dense amounts of fiber, folates, and fatty
acids. Fun fact: They’re known in England as cobnuts.
Cacao, the main ingredient in chocolate, is a superfood.
The higher the cacao percentage, the more nutritious the chocolate
(it’ll also be darker and more bitter). Cacao beans are bursting with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, but when processed into chocolate, are loaded with sugar. That’s why this recipe calls for Chocolate Shakeology,
which maintains the delectable flavor of chocolate, while offering a
huge helping of protein, super-greens, fruits, and probiotics. Use Chocolate Vegan Shakeology for a 100-percent plant-based dish.
his Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie Bowl is as simple to make as a normal glass of Shakeology;
just throw it all in a blender and watch it whirl. However, it offers a
thicker consistency — perfect for enjoying with a spoon. Plus, it’s
garnished with shredded coconut and chopped dark chocolate for texture
and sweetness, along with a sprinkling of sesame to add savory balance.
It’s hard to believe this chocolate hazelnut smoothie bowl is actually
good for you, but believe it! Miracles do happen.
Tip: The higher the percentage of cacao in chocolate, the better. Look for chocolate that is at least 70 percent cacao or higher.

Veggie Scrambled Eggs, Peaches, and Wheat Toast
This is what my breakfast typically looks like. Super easy and quick to make but packed full of nutritional goodness. There is no real prep time because I use my food processor to chop up a ton of bell peppers on Sundays.
Meal prep: 2 min
Cook Time: 7 min
1/2 cup spinach/kale mix
1/2 cup bell pepper
2 large eggs
1 tsp olive oil
1 piece wheat bread
1 peach
Put toast in toaster. Crack eggs in the pan and use a spatula to stir them together. I like to add some pepper for taste. Continue to cook eggs. Once eggs are almost cooked to my liking (I like them scrambled hard), add olive oile, spinach/kale mix, and bell pepper. Continue to cook until spinach/kale mix is wilted. Put eggs, toast, and peaches on a plate and enjoy!
