People have been asking me for my recipe here on instagram quite a bit so I thought I’d write it all down in a blog post so you can refer to it and buy the exact ingredients. This is the recipe to my power packed superfood smoothies or bowls which have become the highlight of my morning ritual. I seriously look forward to this every morning. This is enough for 2 people, so usually I have one for breakfast, and one for lunch.
1/2 half apple – Adds natural sweetness
1/2 avocado – gives creaminess
1 banana
3 organic strawberries
1 TSP Scoop of Matcha blended into 3 cups of room temp water – I use Tenzo Ceremonial Grade Matcha – tenzotea.com – use code “tenzono” for 25% off
I love my AquaTru reverse osmosis water filter. Use the code “ONKEN299” for $150 off.
1 Scoop GLO Vegan Protein Powder – https://gloveganprotein.com – Use code “GLOwithNICK” for $10 off one tub order.
GLO is a 3-in-1 plant-based protein that also covers:
*super greens
*Omega -3s
*PreBiotics / ProBiotics
*B12 + iron + calcium
*Enzyme blend / trace minerals
*Lentein
I’ve recently discovered the brand TerraSoul. They are very particular in testing for heavy metals in their products and only bring them to market if they are below a certain standard, so I’ve started using them as much as possible.
1/4 TSP of Masons Mushrooms from Superfeast
1 spoonful of Gogi Berries
1 spoonful of Cacao Nibs
1 spoonful of Turmeric Powder
1 spoonful of Ginger Powder
1 spoonful of Morninga Powder
1/2 spoonful of Beet Juice Powder
1/2 spoonful of Spirulina Powder
1/2 spoonful of Chlorella Powder
1/2 spoonful of Pitaya Powder (You can put in or on top of the bowl for a colorful garnish)
1/2 spoonful of Chia Seeds(You can also put on top of the bowl after instead)
1/2 spoonful of Organic Turkey Tail Mushrooms
1 spoonful of decaf coffee grounds (More for flavor)
1 scoop of collagen
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 or 2 leaves of Kale
12 ice cubes
Blend on 10 power on a Vitamix for 30 seconds or so
When I do a smoothie bowl, I add organic blueberries, fresh cut organic strawberries, pitaya powder, Qi Powder, chia seeds and granola.

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post There’s a feeling you recognize when it happens. Nothing is split.Nothing is rushed.Nothing is held back. Your thoughts, body, and actions move together. This is embodied coherence. What Embodied Coherence Really Is Embodied coherence isn’t intensity.It’s not confidence.It’s not motivation. It’s alignment in motion. What you feel […]
Most creativity books teach technique. Methods. Processes. Step-by-step systems. These five books teach something else. They teach how to be creative. How to access creativity. How to stay in creative practice. How to overcome what stops you. Not tactics. Fundamentals. The foundation everything else builds on. I return to these repeatedly. When stuck. When resistant. […]
There is a moment when your visuals stop keeping up with who you are. It’s subtle at first.Then it becomes obvious. You feel clear internally.But your imagery feels dated.Or noisy.Or just slightly off. That tension isn’t a branding problem.It’s a readiness signal. 1. Your Work Has Evolved, But Your Images Have Not You’ve grown.Your thinking […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Identity does not change in theory. It changes in contact. Growth happens when something internal meets reality.Not in thought.Not in intention. In experience. This is where identity alchemy begins. What Identity Alchemy Really Means Identity alchemy is not reinvention.It is integration. It is the moment your inner […]
Nicky Clinch teaches people to dissolve their identity. So when I suggested professional photography and styling, she resisted. “Isn’t this the opposite of what I teach?” Her work is about loosening attachment to identity. Mine is about making identity visible. The paradox was real. But here’s what she discovered: you can have an identity without […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Why Brand Photography Matters More for Coaches As a coach, you are the product. People are not buying information.They are buying clarity, trust, and emotional safety. Your imagery sets the tone before a single word is spoken. If your photos feel stiff, overproduced, or generic, it creates […]
TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Imagination does not create reality. Presence does. Ideas live in the mind.Vision lives in the future.But reality responds only to what is here. Nothing moves forward without presence. Not clarity.Not alignment.Not creation. Presence is not something you add.It is what remains when you stop reaching. The Gap […]
Some people do not need to perform. They simply arrive. Peter Crone is one of them. His work is quiet.Precise.Deep. So the challenge was never how to make him look impressive.It was how to let his essence lead. This case study is about what happens when imagery stops trying and starts listening. The Challenge Peter’s […]
Most celebrities spend their careers being turned into something they’re not. Magazines need a character. Brands need a fantasy. Directors need a performance. After decades of that, you forget who you actually are. Evangeline Lilly retired from acting and faced a question most people avoid: who am I when I’m not performing? The answer required […]
If you’re searching for a photographer in London who can actually capture your essence, not just your image, you’re asking the right question. Because when it comes to personal brand photography, geography matters.But frequency matters more. You don’t need just a photographer.You need a visual translator. Someone who can turn your energy, story, and identity […]
Visual identity isn’t about how you look. It’s about how you make someone feel when they first encounter you. Before anyone reads your words, they feel your presence.Before trust, there is tone.Before authority, there is resonance. This is where Elevated Realism™ lives.Not in polish.Not in perfection.In presence. The Problem With Most Brand Imagery Most visual […]
There’s something pulling at you. Not a plan. Not a strategy. Not even a clear destination. Just this persistent tug that won’t let go. You’ve probably tried to rationalize it away. To wait for more clarity. To map out the full journey before taking a step. But here’s what I’ve learned after years of building […]
What happens when your inner transformation meets visual expression? When Caoimhe Harrison came to me, she wasn’t just looking for new photos. She was mid-evolution. Her coaching practice had deepened. Her energy had shifted. And the version of her that existed online no longer matched the woman she was becoming. She didn’t need a rebrand. […]
About the Blogger
I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
