Yummy Treat!

Hey everyone!

I have recently discovered a yummy and healthy treat that I think you all would really enjoy. I was just browsing through Home Sense to kill time before going to work when I saw Chia seeds which I have been looking for so I picked those up and went to the check out. I was waiting for the next till to open up and I saw the Chia that I was getting in the line area and I noticed a package that was right beside them. I picked it up curious and read what it was just to pass the time waiting in line, and it sounded like something that I would really enjoy.


It is a product called Banana Coconut Snackaroons and they are absolutely delicious. I have always loved food that contains coconut and I really enjoy the taste of banana so I went out on a whim and got this just to try. Well it was a great decision because as soon as I tried one I knew that this had become one of my new favourite treats.

This is by Laughing Giraffe Organics and contains ingredients such as unsweetened Coconut, Agave, Almonds, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Banana, Vanilla Extract, and Himalayan Pink Salt. Each bag contains about 8 of the banana coconut treats and one of them is a pretty decent size so you would probably only want one for a little dessert. Once these are done I am going to try to find more of their products and see how I find them, and I will let you all know what I think!

So let me know if you have tried these products and what you thought of them if you did! Or if you know of similar products I would really love to know what they are!


Take care! xxx

Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie Recipe

Hey everyone!

So last Wednesday I moved into my own place so I was very busy with moving, unpacking, and cleaning so I was unable to make all of my usual posts last week but I have mostly everything unpacked now and just have a pit of cleaning to do so I am all set to make the posts that I want. Today I have another recipe that I want to share with everyone because it’s good, healthy, and very easy to make.

This is something that I love especially as a substitute to usually breakfast foods, and it is a peanut butter and banana smoothie. I started making this a few years ago and it is still one of my favourite smoothies to make. I’ve shared this with friends, one of which was reluctant to try it, and as soon as she has a taste I converted her and had her making it almost every day. So this is definitely something you might like.

For this you will need:

A blender
A banana
Peanut butter
A single serving yogurt cup
Milk

For this I used a Magic Bullet instead of a blender but either is fine to use because they both have the same end result. So first you start off with breaking up a banana into smaller chunks making it easier to blend.


Then add about two teaspoons of peanut butter.


After the peanut butter it is time to add your choice of yogurt. I recommend either vanilla or a fruit flavoured one just so it isn't a very prominent taste.


After you add the yogurt add about a cup of milk to start and if the smoothie is too thick add more milk.



Finally, Blend!


Now you have a yummy treat that not only tastes good, but is good for you. I hope that you enjoy this recipe and if you do let me know! Also, if you have any other recipes that you think I should try let me know and I will attempt to make it!

Take care! xxx
