Vitamix Philippines

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably noticed a change slightly in my feed. I have been adding a lot more healthier posts for Nino by way of breakfast trays that I prepare for him on most mornings. 

Breakfast for my ❤. Papaya, Saba, Camote, Beet, Berry Bowl topped with flax, Chia, granola, and Saba. Cereal bread from #alabangsaturdaymarket #Geraldph with #almondbutter from @madebymaxph. #myvitamixstory #vitamixphilippines #madebymax #breakfasttray #healthy #healthyeats #alabangsaturdaymarket #vegan #smoothiebowl

I say most mornings because, although I have been quite busy lately, I have been able to leave some instructions for the helpers to prepare breakfast when I am called out of the house early for work or Best Buddies activities.
 
The biggest change in our household diet was that I became much more consistent with our breakfasts. Starting with a smoothie bowl in the morning is a great way to get a ton of vitamins and nutrients in a way that’s fresh, fun, and easy to change up so it won’t get boring.
 

I know this guy loves it when I pay extra special attention to the meals that I serve him and our family. And since I promised all those years ago to always take care of him, this is just one of the many ways I can show him I care…by making sure we start our days in a healthier way.

 
Dare I say, that Nino had begun to enjoy and look forward to the different variations that I throw together with the help of my new Vitamix Blender.
 
Truth: I have wanted to add a Vitamix to my kitchen for years. I just felt it was never a justified investment.
 
 
 

First step in making healthier choices? Buy a new appliance for the kitchen, of course! ???????????? What color would you choose? Black or stainless? • • Look @thexpatdietitian! Momma’s got a new toy!!! • • #vitamixphilippines #homecooking #healthy #organic #holycarabao #kitchengoodness

That is, until I asked for the no obligation free home demonstration. 
 
Another Truth: Even before I had the demonstration, I already knew I seriously had to consider this investment because our nutritionist, Bex Lwin had shared how much she uses her vitamix. She uses it anywhere from 4-5 times a day.
 
But then that demo though…
 
Marie had come to the house and shown me quite a few things that the Vitamix was capable of.
 
This appliance is the real deal guys!
 
She made vegan ice cream for us. She made bell pepper soup. She made a green smoothie. And Nino, Gia, and myself were sold. I couldn’t wait to get my own Vitamix so that I could begin to make healthier dishes and decisions for our family.
 
Flash forward to the present: We have had our Vitamix now for a little more than two months, and both my husband and I have shed a few pounds with the healthier dishes we are able to prepare in a jiffy.
 
 
And because I am always looking to learn new things, when Terry Tantoco-Dy invited me to a little workshop Vitamix Philippines was hosting with Kristine Crouch at Abenson in BGC, I asked my best girl if she would like to tag along and make a day of it. 
 
 
In fact, because my parents have been avid Vitamix users ever since, I asked them if they would like to join us. They were so happy that they came!
 

Managing Director, Ortrud Ting, Kristine Crouch, and myself after Kristine’s informative demonstration on her vegan recipes and the benefits of veganism lifestyle.

 
Kristine taught us a bunch of quick and easy recipes that I will definitely make at home. Gia and I were having such a good time at the workshop, we were already planning what we were going to be making today for lunch.
 
 
Confession: I had poke bowls on the brain after trying Kristine’s peanut salad dressing.
 
I can totally imagine the fun I’m going to have when making salads once I add the spiralizer to our kitchen counter…
 
 
Can you imagine the possibilities???

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.
