One of my favorite things is experimenting in the kitchen and then sharing the meals that truly make a difference in how we feel. Today I have two recipes to share: one is a cozy, protein-packed breakfast bowl that kept me energized all morning, and the other is our go-to family dinner — customizable poke bowls that everyone in my house loves.

Recipe 1: Banana Mash Bowl

This morning I tried something new for breakfast and it was too good not to share. Inspired by @nutritiouslydelicia, I made my own version of banana mash with a few tweaks. It turned into a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal that checked all the boxes: protein, fiber, antioxidants, and probiotics.

Ingredients

• 2 bananas, mashed with a fork
• 1 egg
• 1 scoop collagen powder
• ½ cup oats
• ¼ cup ground flax
• ¼ cup chia seeds
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla extract
• Drizzle of honey

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the egg, collagen, oats, flax, chia, cinnamon, vanilla, and honey.
2. Cook in a pan almost like scrambled eggs until set.
3. Warm up frozen mixed berries in a small saucepan until they form a quick jam.
4. In a bowl, layer the banana mash with ½ cup Siggi’s yogurt, the berry sauce, and a sprinkle of hemp hearts on top.

Why It’s Good for You

• Protein: Egg, collagen, and yogurt keep blood sugar balanced and help with muscle repair.
• Fiber & Omega-3s: Chia, flax, oats, and hemp support gut health, hormone balance, and regularity.
• Antioxidants: Berries and cinnamon are rich in polyphenols that fight inflammation.
• Probiotics: Yogurt adds beneficial bacteria for a healthy gut.

This bowl is cozy, filling, and supports both energy and digestion — the kind of breakfast that keeps you going all day.

Recipe 2: Family Poke Bowls

This recipe is on regular rotation in our house. I love it because everyone can build their own bowl, which makes dinner fun and stress-free. It’s colorful, nutrient-dense, and endlessly customizable depending on what you have on hand.

Base

• Rice (white, brown, or sushi rice), cooked in a rice cooker and seasoned with rice vinegar

Protein Options

• Sushi-grade tuna or salmon (cubed)
• OR baked salmon if you prefer it cooked

Sauce

• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• Dash of sriracha
• Drizzle of honey

Mix all ingredients together and toss with your fish or drizzle over the finished bowl.

Toppings (Choose Your Adventure)

• Edamame (shelled + warmed)
• Avocado slices
• Scallions
• Seaweed or furikake seasoning
• Brown beech mushrooms sautéed with garlic + olive oil
• Crunchy veggies like cucumber, shredded carrots, or radish

Why It’s Good for You

• Omega-3s: Salmon and tuna provide anti-inflammatory fats that support brain, heart, and hormone health.
• Healthy Fats: Avocado and sesame oil keep you satisfied and help with nutrient absorption.
• Fiber: Edamame, mushrooms, and veggies support digestion and balanced blood sugar.
• Antioxidants: Seaweed, scallions, and colorful veggies deliver a spectrum of protective nutrients.

These bowls are endlessly versatile — and the best part is that every member of the family gets to build their own plate in a way that feels nourishing and fun.
