Tropical Strawberry Mango Smoothie Bowl - FOOD PHOTO SNAP Wow, it's been a hot ...

... week with a handful of warm ones on the way but I'm pretty excited to see we might be getting some storms in the forecast. After that it looks like it'll be cooling off pretty fast. As excited as I am about the Fall getting close, I am still trying to enjoy the rest of all the Summer flavors and one of my absolute favorites it mango!

I’ve discovered that it’s pretty hard to mess up any recipe revolving around fruit and granola.

In the past I’ve made chia pudding a few times but, moment of complete honesty here, the texture isn’t for everyone. Hey, but I’ve got good news if you feel the same way about it, you can blend it up like magic into a super creamy smooth pudding that you’d never guess was dairy free! When I did this I got two thumbs up from everyone, so to blend or not to blend is totally up to you.
