Eating Healthy with Bliss Bowls

So, if you haven’t noticed lately, I have been loving my #SmoothieBowls.

I actually think they are the perfect meal.

  • You can enjoy a smoothie bowl on a hot summer day.
  • You can opt for a fun twist or go really green and healthy.
  • You can add extra fruit toppings to change it up.
  • You can opt for crunchy toppings like granola to give it texture.
  • You can’t go wrong with any meal like this, because there is not right or wrong way to prepare or enjoy a smoothie bowl!

My friend Pam Siao from @greenlunchdiaries has been an advocate of eating healthy and taking care of her body by way of what she puts into it. A working mom who has a few different businesses, it’s easy to see why she is successful in what she chooses to pursue. She pursues what she loves, and she is good at it.

Earlier this year she launched her new baby, BLISS BOWLS. Bliss Bowls is a little shop located on the 4th floor in SM Megamall in the Bridgeway. It’s the FIRST SMOOTHIE BOWL BAR in Manila. 

Toppings make the bowl! Having a choice of different toppings that you can add to any existing bowl on the menu is a great option.

What’s a Smoothie Bowl?

A smoothie bowl is a healthy mix of frozen fruits and vegetables blended into a mixture that is thicker than your average smoothie. Ingredients can also include oats, nuts, nutritious supplements, dried fruits, and seeds. 

Ok. So, if you play with the different ingredients and toppings you can address many health issues by way of food. (Y’all heard about using your food as medicine right?)

So my friend Pam, together with her brother and her cousins, thought it would be a great idea to open up this HEALTH bar which would be the first of its kind here in Manila. I think it is brilliant, and I know quite a few of my friends have enjoyed visiting Bliss Bowls for the different variations on nutritious and deliciously light meals.

When I visited Pam’s shop earlier this year, I was happy to make it a little get together of sorts with my friends, Tina, Michelle, and Janice. We were supposed to meet anyway for some other things we were working on together and when that fell through, we decided that Pam’s shop was still a great excuse to see one another.

PLUS, y’all know it’s more fun to try a new place with the girls right? That means we get to try more than one dish! The beauty in eating out and trying a new restaurant with your friends is that everyone gets to pick a dish that they want to try, but they still get to try other dishes, simply because…SHARING IS CARING. 

So here are the bowls that we tried:

BERRY BLISS (P199)

Berry Bliss is their bestselling bowl. It boosts performance, endurance, and immunity. It is a delicious and refreshing blend of strawberries, beets, banana, and fresh coco water. It is topped with fruit, granola, and coconut flakes.

AMAZING KALE (P260)

This is one of three green bowls made with kale, banana, mango, spirulina, chia seeds, coconut or almond milk, granola, and coconut flakes.

CACAO KISS (P260)

Photo Credit: My Mom Friday

This is an absolutely delicious chocolate bowl that promotes heart health and is a natural anti-depressant. Made with banana, strawberries, unsweetened cocoa, nut butter, coconut or almond milk, granola, and coconut flakes, this is basically the healthy dessert of your dreams.

GREEN DREAM

This is their signature green bowl that is an ideal lunch. Made with spinach, mango, banana, organic chia seeds, and fresh coco water, it’s like a salad, but colder! Green Dream has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, and helps promote weight loss and a flat belly.

Now, I know that everyone’s New Year’s Resolution usually has to do with getting healthier, becoming more fit, and making better choices. Since Pam’s shop opened up just after New Year’s, she has made it easier on all of us to get on the path to feeling better and looking good too.

I am actually craving a Green Dream right about now…

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
