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!

Quick and Easy Brownie In a Mug Recipe!

Hey everyone!

Today I’ve decided to change things up a bit and talk about an easy recipe that is quick to make, and yummy to eat. This is a great recipe if you only want to make a single serving or if you only have a limited amount of time to make a yummy treat. I wouldn’t say that this is the healthiest of treats but it sure is yummy!

For this recipe you will need:

A mug

2 tablespoons of melted butter or margarine

2 tablespoons of water

½ tablespoon of vanilla extract

2 tablespoons of flour

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons of cocoa powder

And a pinch of salt

Optional: Berries to put on top when finished cooking

In my opinion it is easier to start by melting the butter in the mug so that there is a minimal amount of dishes being dirtied. Then go on by adding the water and vanilla extract. After those ingredients have been added to the mug add the rest of the ingredients in any order because this is a recipe that doesn’t have to follow a specific guideline.  After all the ingredients have been added to the mug mix it together until it is a smooth and even consistency.  When you are all done mixing pop the mug into the microwave for between 45-60 seconds (depending on the power of your microwave.) Now you can enjoy your delicious treat, but if you want to add a final step feel free to add a few berries on top to make it even better!

The finished product!

I hope that you enjoy this recipe because I know I do! This is perfect if you are only making food for yourself and don’t want to have to make a full batch of something to enjoy a yummy dessert from time to time. I know personally this is a great recipe for students because it’s easy to make and you don’t have to make a big batch that could possible go to waste.

If you have any questions about this or anything else let me know! :)
