Chef V's Smoothie Bowl
A delightful and healthy smoothie bowl. Great for breakfast on a hot day or an afternoon snack. I garnish mine with coconut chips, extra fruit, and sometimes granola. Fresh fruit can be used in place of frozen; add 1 cup of ice for blending.

These pickled eggs are great sliced and served on a salad or just eat them plain for a quick low carb snack! You can adjust the heat by adding more or less chipotle and adobo.
