TOPPINGS
If you’ve ever been to an ice cream shop where you get to choose your toppings, you know there are so many different options! 🍧🍨🍦 The same applies here.
Some of our favorite topping ideas include:
PREPARATION
1. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, melt the vegan butter, add Smartbite cracker pieces and toast well on both sides.
2. Place chopped chocolate in a glass bowl. Bring about two inches of water to a simmer in your saucepan. Set the heatproof bowl in the mouth of the pot, making sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir chocolate occasionally as it softens. When you have just a few small unmelted chunks, remove bowl from heat (residual heat will melt the rest).
3. Add toasted rice cakes to the melted chocolate and mix well. Then add to a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.
4. Add frozen bananas and strawberries to a high speed blender or a food processor. Blend until completely smooth, fluffy and blended. You’ll need to stop occasionally to stir and scrape the sides.
5. At this point you have soft-serve texture banana ice cream. To get more of a scoopable ice cream texture, simply spread into a Tupperware or parchment-lined loaf pan and freeze for 2-3 hours. Then scoop with an ice cream scoop! If too firm, let thaw 15-30 minutes to soften.
6. Best when fresh. Frozen banana ice cream should keep for up to 1 month if well covered, though we find it’s best when used within the first week.
7. When ready to serve, scoop your nice cream with an ice cream scoop and top with chocolate crackers. Serve with a big smile on your face right after you give your mom the biggest hug.

Eating a balanced breakfast is an important way to get your day off to a good start. Which is why we believe in planning ahead when it comes to our brekkie.
But… we're not perfect. Sometimes we have every intention to prep chia pudding in the evening but end up being too tired to actually go through with this plan. Or we forget. Oops. 😬
While we're big advocates for meal prep breakfasts, we also believe you need quick and easy breakfasts that you can make in minutes in the morning.
That’s where this Yogurt Breakfast Bowl with a side of crunchy rice cakes come in. You can prep this delish meal in just minutes, using whatever you have on hand in your kitchen. These brekkie combo has a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and fiber when you add fruits, nuts and/or chia seeds.
