In my efforts to lose weight I have been experimenting in the kitchen...a lot....and you wont believe what I've found!
1. You can turn bananas into ice cream!
Fake Healthy Ice Cream
4 bananas (sliced and frozen)
2 Tbsp Peanut Butter (chunky or creamy)
2 Tbsp Cocao Powder
Put the bananas in a blender or food processor. Use the ice chopping setting and blend and blend and blend. You will likely have to stop and scrape the sides a few times. Keep going and if you are patient it will turn into a creamy consistency. Stir in the other ingrediants. Voila! Seriously I loved this so much.
2. Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Got this recipe off pinterest. I'll post the real recipe and then my modifications.
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I only used 1/3 and they were mini - choc. flavor gets more spread out)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey ( I used 2 Tbsp.)
Stir in bowl. Press into balls. Store in fridge. SOOOOOO GOOOOOD! They are only 50 calories each depending on how big you make them. My problem is stopping after 1 or 2.
3. Energy Breakfast Smoothie
1 pkg Carnation Instant Breakfast Mix
2 cups almond milk
1 frozen banana
10 almonds dry roasted with sea salt
6 ice cubes
Blend. Drink. Enjoy. This makes enough for two people. I was seriously not hungry all day. And it was yummy. Almond milk is great for smoothies - who knew?
Yeehaw!
