We all know that smoothie bowls are the new thing. The vibrant colors, amazing taste and health benefits (when made with proper ingredients) prove that these bowls are super fun. So to make your life a little bit easier, I have found the best five smoothie bowls that you must try.

1. Vanilla Raspberry Smoothie Bowl

If you like vanilla and raspberries, this bowl is certainly for you. With the extra protein in this recipe, it's a good choice for after a workout or run.

Serving Size: 1

Smoothie:

1 small frozen banana

3/4 cup frozen raspberries

1 cup Almond Milk

1 or 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder (depending on preference)

2 tbsp of chia seeds + 2 tbsp of water

Toppings:

1/4 cup granola (Vanilla Almond is a good option, but you can use any kind)

a few fresh raspberries

a sprinkle of cacao nibs

Instructions:

Place chia seeds in water for roughly 10 minutes (until gelatinous)

Transfer to blender along with all other smoothie ingredients

Pour into bowl and add the toppings

Enjoy!

2. Energizing Green Smoothie Bowl

Don't be fooled by the color of this bowl because it is packed with nutrients for your body. With the option of adding maca powder (a powder when taken in small amounts, can boost energy and help clear skin) and flaxseed make this bowl different from the others. It's a good choice if you want to get your spinach fix, but you don't want to eat two cups of it by itself.

Serving Size:1

Smoothie:

2 handfuls of spinach

2 or 1 and 1/2 frozen bananas

1/2 cup frozen pineapple

1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed and maca powder (optional)

1/2 teaspoon matcha powder

1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Toppings:

pineapple

chia seeds

coconut shavings

Instructions:

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy (add more almond milk as needed)

Add toppings, and enjoy!

3. Magical Spirulina Smoothie Bowl

Spirulina is a great source of antioxidants, protein and many other nutrients. Although the tables and powder form of this ingredient are a scary looking dark green, don't let it fool you. It may look scary, but it's there to help our health.

Serving Size: 1

Smoothie:

1 frozen banana

1 apple

1/2 pear

1 kiwi fruit

3 tbsp vanilla yogurt

juice of 1/2 lemon

2-3 spirulina tablets

Toppings:

blackberries

chia seeds

any fresh fruit

Instructions:

Blend ingredients in a blender (adding more yogurt if needed)

Add toppings and enjoy!

4. Superfood Chocolate Smoothie Bowl

This smoothie bowl is delicious. The smoothie itself doesn't resemble the taste of chocolate too much (unless you add more cocoa powder, which you ceratinly can), but the overall flavor is amazing. The avocado provides a taste that is different from the other recipes, but it makes the consistency creamier.

Serving Size: 1

Smoothie:

1/4 cup almond milk

2 tsp raw honey

1/4 avocado

1 banana

2 tbsp berries (blackberries or raspberries are best)

1 tsp cocoa powder

Toppings:

banana

coconut flakes

chia seeds

cocoa nibs

blackberries

Ingredients:

Blend ingredients together in blender

Add toppings and enjoy!

5. Peach, Orange, and Berry Smoothie Bowl

This bowl is perfect if you love peaches (which I do!), and surprisingly the combonation of the berries and the peaches provide an amaizng flavor. The anitoxidant from the blueberries and the nutrients from the chia seeds make this bowl another great choice.

Serving Size: 1

Smoothie:

1 peach

1 banana

juice from an orange

*Add yogurt or almond milk if needed

Toppings:

blackberries

blueberries

walnuts

chia seeds

a drizzle of honey (optional)

Instructions:

Blend ingredients together in a blender (add more orange juice, yogurt, or almond milk if preferred)

Add toppings and enjoy!

These smoothie bowls tend to have high amounts of sugar due to the fruits in them. So be sure that you aren't using this smoothie bowl as an excuse not to drink water with it. These bowls are very beneficial to our health (especially with ingredients such as Spirulina and chia seeds), but without water we can't stay healthy. Make sure you hydrate daily along with eating well.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
