Every morning when we wake up we love starting our day with a very nutritious meal, that's gonna
Give us energy for the whole entire day, so we've decided for this video. It's going to be the boho
superfood
smoothie
So the base of this movie Bowl today is going to be bananas with pineapple so we start by first cutting the pineapple
Once you have your fruit cut and you have usually about a cup of ice drop it into a blender for this
We're using a coconut. They're very very easy to find here. They literally grow on trees
so
Don't be intimidated
If you don't have a coconut just use coconut milk or almond or even water or even that's that's so true even water and you
Throw that all together. It's that's your main base for the smoothie Bowl and just blend that baby up
So the super foods we added today. We're a maca powder. They're a spirulina
There's also an incredible mix of greens that we use which has like algae wheatgrass
There's lots of great powders like this you can throw in and hemp hearts and that I love that because it's a super amazing
plant-based protein
So we put all our superfoods in the blender with all of the base and blend it up for a bit
And if it's not thick enough add more banana
So once you got the base the smoothie base
Then that's this is where the fun part comes
We like to first layer the base of the smoothie bowl with some granola for Juliana. This is like an art form
I love it and looks so much fun and like you're creating a masterpiece
Perfect, but we like to use some kind of organic
Not on sweeten granola. You can find it in here grocery stores as well
So we'll line the bottom with it and then it will place all our fruit so today
We're using mangoes and pineapple games, so we line it up
Then you pour the smoothie, and so this is where it fills up, and then you finish it off with very similar structure
So we put more kernel and so it gives it a little bit more of a base for the fruit to sit on
Then you put the fruit we like to stack and make shapes out of it sometimes. Oh, we have time. We get creative
we use cacao nibs to place on top for that little bit of chocolate tape and then also one of my
Favorites for foods. Goji berries aka rank raisins
They're so good for you right now to me. They're always gonna. Be rank raisins
So pretty much that is your smoothie bowl, and we like to call our masterpiece
For lunch today, we are going to make the tropical tahini summer rolls
Which are one of my favorites is just a great different way to still consume your veggies
But in a different format than just a salad bowl, and these summer rolls are so healthy
It's so good for you and pretty fast to make so if you were on the go. You can look them up
So we're gonna start by cutting up all the veggies first now remember
We're gonna cut them lengthwise so you want to get your pepper out your lettuce your cabbage avocado tofu
And let's just start slicing it, and then we also like to add in our mango
Which will give it that sweetness and a little flavor of the Tropic that's right tropical everyone the last step before
assembling is to soak the rice paper and the thing about the rice paper is you just want to dip it for a second and
Pull it out as soon as all of it has touched some kind of moisture
we like to lay it out on top of the rice paper and a nice little method where everything's kind of has its place and
Then from there, you roll it up kind of like a burrito a gardeny fresh
Burrito garden burrito, just like a little baby. I'm just wrapping it up. Oh baby that you're gonna eat later. Which is really weird
I don't think you've got your rolls ready
This is where you want to create your dipping sauce now we love dipping our summer rolls into our homemade
Which is not as intimidating in a sense. It's really really easy
You can actually make it look like three ingredients if you want to but we had a couple different ones just to
Make it our own, so you go, and you get your tahini paste
Which you can find in almost any grocery store or little food market?
so if you get your tahini you get some raw garlic and
some lemon some lemon juice into it and then also we add a little bit of
maple syrup just to give it that little bit of
sweetness you don't have to
But that's something we like to do and then once you got all these ingredients just throw it into a blender or a food processor
And just start blending it up
So that's pretty much it so you make your tahini sauce you got your summer rolls and there you have it enjoy a tropical
Tahini summer roll
For dinner today. We're going to make something really yummy and something that we don't eat too often
But when we do it's a real treat for us so dinner tonight is pure vegan veggie burgers
with spicy yam fries
For today's burgers what we're gonna be using our
Patties that we got from our friend
Fabrizio who owns Love burger out here in samara, his burgers are amazing because they're lentil based they're fully organic
Super natural. We are obsessed with them
Yeah, but the wonderful thing about veggie burgers these days is you can either go online and research?
And it's really easy to make your own patties, or you can go to your grocery store and in
2018 there are so many different options
So you think you can have a lot of fun experimenting with the different brands the ones that taste exactly like me
Or it goes all the way back swings to the other side of the pendulum where it almost feels like a veggie patty
It's a lot of fun to have a veggie burger night and really try and make it healthy and try to experiment with the different
Types that are available we're using sourdough buns today
We usually use gluten-free, but Juliana actually she's not even eating a bun today
just to show you guys that it's just as good and just as tasty to have it on a
Leaf of lettuce and to dress it the same way almost like an open-faced down
So let's talk about how we make these incredible put a vegan burgers
So pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and then chop up those yams guy now our yams look a little
Different than North American yams, and we were so confused when we first came to Costa Rica
I was like this is not a yam because it's kind of purply and when you cut it. It's white we thought there
we thought it was yuca for a while, but it is yam fries so don't be confused
We are cutting yam fries here and for our fries
We actually kind of make like a an oil base for it
That's a really nice organic olive oil with some
garlic chopped up minced garlic that will bake really well with it and we add a little bit of chili powder on top just to
Give it that spicy kick then just cover the pan that has yam fries on it with it and mix it really well, so
All the potatoes have some dressing on them
And then just stick it in the oven for I would say 30 minutes or more after 30 minutes
I'd like to start checking in just to try a fry make sure it soft but 30 minutes or more
It's usually time you want to give for the yam fries for the veggie burgers
We're actually in our frying pan using a little bit of organic coconut oil
And that's just to give it a little bit of that tropical taste that pure of vegan taste
And then you put the patty on the frying pan. We're also gonna be using some
pineapple today
So it'll cut a ring of pineapple and put that as well on the pan just to fry it
Lightly don't keep it there for too long so once you've got the Patty and the pineapple fried
Then we move on to the dressing, so we're gonna dress our burger today with guacamole
It's really easy to make your own guacamole at home all you're gonna
do is just take a really ripe avocado slice it in half dump the goodness into a bowl and
We like to use some coconut milk
even a little bit of lime as well like to squeeze it tiny bit of that just to give it a little bit of a
Zest and then just start blending it with a fork to create your guacamole and then from there we chop up our tomatoes for condiments
We're gonna be using our tahini sauce that we actually made for lunch
So put that on the bun or the leaf
and then you put your patty on there and then start to dress your burger and
Then get your yam fries out put some fries on the side
And maybe a little more tahini sauce if you like to dip your thighs into something
And like mark would say it's it's in burger time or burger burger part. You never said either of those
burger time
