Mango Cayenne Creamsicle Smoothie Bowl

Yep. Ya read that right. I have a sweet tooth, but between the mango and the vanilla protein powder, this was just a tad too sweet for me. So! How do we fix the issue? By adding cayenne and cacao nibs of course!

Firstly, mango and chocolate go beautifully together, but chocolate tends to have a decent amount of sugar in it and that is just unnecessary when there's about 23 grams of naturally occurring sugar in a cup of mango chunks. Cacao nibs, on the other hand, are raw, a bit bitter, and wonderfully crunchy.

The spicy cayenne balances out the sweetness in both the mango and the coconut and adds the PERFECT amount of bite. You're gonna love this, I promise. Recipe below:

8 oz almond or coconut milk (from a carton, not a can)
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice (my favourite is Magnum Quattro Protein Isolate which has 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar)

Blend it up, pour it out with the help of a rubber spatula, and top with:

2 tbsps cacao nibs
2 tbsps toasted coconut
1 tbsp almond sliced
1 tbsp walnut pieces
Pinch of cayenne

You're welcome.

Happy Father's Day!

Made this little guy for an awesome client in Australia who wanted to send something special to her dad as an early Father's Day present. What better way to enjoy a brew than with an overload of meat, cheese and snacks?

How are you going to celebrate Dad this year? (Hint: the answer is "By ordering Snacks By Sarah, of course!") Oh, well, that would be my pleasure, thank you kindly 🙏

I've recently fallen in love with smoothie bowls.

I know, I know, I'm late to the trend game, but there it is.

There's an emphasis on balanced nutrition in my household. My kiddos have fruits and/or veggies, healthy grains and some sort of fat or protein at pretty much every meal. Sometimes I need to bribe them to try new foods, but overall, in general, and most of the time... they eat healthy. Swipe to see my offspring proudly flaunting their smoothie/bowl 😄

That said, nutrition is largely based on your beliefs and mentality. Vegans may or may not believe that eating meat is wildly unhealthy, someone on a keto diet likely believes bread is Satan, anybody on a non-restrictive diet just absolutely KNOWS that ice cream will be the death of us all.

But truly, if you're eating with purpose, eating to fuel your body (85%) or your soul (15%), you're doing yourself a service. This smoothie bowl was about 650 calories. It's what my body needed to replenish my depleted energy and nutrient stores after my workout and spending 3 hours coaching at the gym. Later this evening, I had a glass of wine and popcorn, about 350 calories, which is what my soul needed after a long ass day.

Balance. Eat well. Be kind. Live healthfully.

Sweet lord, this took me forever to put together, but I'm actually a tad bit impressed with my newfound editing/splicing/creative abilities. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I'm feeling accomplished today, so there ya go. 😎

Also, MORE BRUNCH BOARDS PLEASE 🙏 😍 in case you haven't heard it enough 😆

I don't usually indulge this much on a Monday night, but I felt off all damned day today and can't seem to shake the low vibes. (Anyone else?) So I've decided to put all my favourites together and spend a little me time outdoors snuggled in a blanket, reading a book and pressing the reset button.

Tomorrow's a new day and I'm ready to rock the rest of the week starting fresh tomorrow. ✌️

Nuff love y'all ❤️

PS, my (4yo) son made me this vase for Mother's day 🥺 and daisies are my favourite, so the two together put a big ole smile on my face 🙂

Fun little tune for this incredible brunch board! 😋

This was so much fun to put together and I adore everything about brunch!! The fact that it's both sweet and savory, and at the perfect time where nobody calls you crazy for having coffee number 2 (or 3), and nobody judges you for drinking champagne with a drop of OJ.

Complete with an apple spiced cream cheese dip and mini pancake/skewers. 🥰🥰💓😾😾

Photos came back from the wonderful Encanto-themed party a few weeks ago!

I made the mistake of catering this wonderful occasion and NOT taking any pictures, but I did receive incredible feedback, which makes my heart happy!!

The menu featured:

○ Chimichurri steak
○ Beef empanadas from scratch
○ Spicy beans and rice made with hogao
○ Big ass salad and
○ Guac and chips of course

Not 100% authentic Colombian food, but 100% crowd pleasing to say the least. 🥰

Note to self: take the time to take the pics for crying out loud.

Happy International Women's Day!! 🥰 I had the pleasure of making 50 of these cups and boxes for our members at F45 to honor and celebrate the wonderful women (and men!) who make our community the absolute best one around.

Also, yesterday happened to be my birthday, and I don’t really make a big deal out of it (other than the excuse to eat an extra cupcake or peanut butter and Nutella on a spoon without [much] guilt), but I’ve gained a lot of perspective these last few months, so that’s part of why it’s just a little extra special this time.

As for Women’s Day – it’s a big deal! I’ve been surrounded by strong women my whole life and today is the day to call it out.

Obviously starting with my mom who taught me that there is nothing on this planet more important than family. She also taught me to be hardworking, no matter what it is I do, and to trust my gut instinct, which has helped me more than any part of my education ever could. My aunt (also known as my second mom) taught me to be a hardass, and to take not even one ounce of s**t from anybody. My grandmother taught me how to cook with love. The women on my dad's side taught me to embrace my inner hippie. My best friends growing up taught me I could be my weirdo self and to revel in it… they were also loud and loving and we’re still friends to this day. My cousin taught me how to drink when we were young and how to be a mom when we got older. And HER mom always believed I could do anything I put my mind to.

I’ve had mentors and acquaintances alike who have taught me almost everything I know about business. My best friends are amongst the strongest mothers, daughters, sisters and all-around bosses I’ve ever known. And I have an incredible team of women at the gym, including my sister in law / sister by choice, who lift me up and cheer me on, supporting me every minute I’m there coaching, working out, hanging out, and handing out snacks.

These women – and all the amazing, respectful, wonderful men in my life – have made me who I am. And I couldn’t be more grateful to them for letting me into their lives.

Journey back in time (less than a year ago) to discover why I decided to start my own business and take control of my mental health.

My favourite yet: ENCANTO THEMED!

Tia Pepa - cotton candy cloud, blueberry rain and a mini banana umbrella
Tio Bruno - kiwi / kiwi berry rats, green zingy zaps
Isbela - flower-draped goat cheese
Mirabel - yellow butterflies on two bite brownies
Luisa - my absolute favourite - purple macaron barbells with pockey

And then of course, 'flor de Mayo by the mile,' salami flowers, brie and honey and all rhe regular fixins.

This was the best to put together for my incredible clients, and would LOVE to do more themed (specifically Disney!) boards like this 🥰❤ DM me for details!

We. Are. LIVE with Blog #2!

Yes, it took me far too long to post what my first week of entrepreneurship was like, but I suppose that's kind of a good thing, yeah?

The images you see here are from a surprise wedding for 20 people, and you can read about the details in the blog post "Week 1" along with my arts and crafts DIY budget AF photography studio project, and meal prep side side side hustle.

Something not outlined in this post, but is incredibly important (and will be covered in next week's post) is my mental health. In the last 10 days I've already noticed my chest pains have decreased, my depression, anxiety, and general panic disorder have all improved significantly and I am in such a focused, determined and just incredible headspace I have never felt in my life.

Read on, Wayne: snacksbysarah.com/weekone

See ya next week. ✌️
