Amy's Pink Smoothie Bowl

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By eating a wholesome, healthy breakfast, we eliminate the need to snack throughout the morning, and it makes us feel productive and motivated to get on with our day. I admit, I haven't always been a fan of breakfast. Mornings are not my strong point and the idea of eating after I wake up does not appeal to me. Recently, however, I have been making a conscious effort to make tasty and Instagrammable breakfasts, so I make breakfast something to look forward to. I have seen the benefits and I wanted to share one of my favourite recipes for a quick, yet healthy breakfast. So here it is, Amy's Pink Smoothie Bowl.



Ingredients: 
1 ripe banana (save a few slices for topping)
1 cup of fresh strawberries (save 1 or 2 for topping)
½ cup of almond and coconut milk
2 tablespoons of rolled porridge oats
2 tablespoons of chia seeds (1/2 teaspoon for topping)
½ teaspoon of desiccated coconut for topping





Method:
To make this easy smoothie bowl, simply blend all the main ingredients together until you reach your desired consistency (thick enough you can eat it with a spoon). Adding extra almond and coconut milk if necessary. I like to soak my rolled porridge oats in a little water before, but you don't have to.




To decorate simply line up each element on the top of your smoothie bowl. This simple breakfast has all the aspects you'll need for a well-rounded meal. The rolled oats will keep you fuller for longer and the chia seeds are an instant energy booster providing protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and omega 3!  This is the perfect breakfast because its quick, healthy, tasty and very aesthetically pleasing!

Spring Trends to Take Advantage Of

Spring Trends to Take Advantage Of Spring is nearly upon us. I repeat, spring is nearly upon us! Thank goodness it is almost here. It couldn't come any quicker if you ask me. Why? Well because in my eyes spring is basically summer. And I am over cold weather and winter fashion. In spring it begins to get warmer and we can bring out the short sleeves and most importantly pastel shades!   If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I wear baby pink all year round. It's what makes me feel most confident and comfortable, but in spring and summer in particular, it is so much easier to find clothing in this shade! You can wear pastels in so many ways. Through your accessories, in an understated way. Or a full pastel coloured outfit, made to stand out from the crowd. Either way, all pastel shades are in this spring, and it's a trend we must take advantage of! Here is one of my go to spring outfits which takes advantage of the pastel hue trend. I...

Aloha Hawai'i, it's Amy! It's official!  Aloha Amy has made it to Hawai'i, and I must say, it does not disappoint.  This summer I have visited Oahu and Big Island, and have loved every second of it!  Hawai'i is beautiful, and the two islands I travelled to were completely different.  Here are some pictures of my trip, and some of my highlights (although I can't fit it all into one post, so be prepared for multiple!) The highlight of my whole holiday was those first steps onto Waikiki Beach.  I have never seen a beach like this before.  This photo was taken on my first day in Hawaii (that's why I'm so pale!) and my family and I spent the whole morning walking along this beautiful shore! I also went on a tour of Honolulu and was able to witness this fabulous view!  On my tour I also got to see the building used to film scenes in Hawai'i 5:0  After spending time staying in the lively Waikiki, I flew to Big ...
