🥤 My Daily Smoothie (And Why I Still Make It)

Some days, recovery feels like a heavy lift. Other days, it’s just a smoothie.

This one’s been part of my routine for years. It's a small ritual that helps me start each day grounded, nourished, and like I'm choosing myself from the very first sip.

Here’s what’s in it:

• 1 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh)

• 1 cup yogurt (I use plain, but do your thing)

• 1 cup oats (uncooked)

• 1 tsp liquid stevia (or whatever sweetener you like)

• 4 oz hot water (softens the oats / warmer to drink)

• 4 oz almond milk (or any milk)

  
  

Blend until your liking. That’s it!

For me, it’s not just about the nutrients; it’s about having one thing in my day that’s consistent, easy, and good for me. It’s one less thing to think about. When my mind’s busy or my energy’s off, I don’t want decisions. I want something that’s already dialed. This smoothie’s become that for me. And it reminds me I’m still choosing recovery in the smallest ways.

If you’ve got a ritual that helps you stay grounded — food, movement, music, whatever — hold onto it.

We’re not trying to be perfect here. Just regulated, nourished, and one less decision weighing on us.

Happy sipping!

Keep choosing yourself.
