Strawberry Banana Ice Cream / Yogurt

Strawberry Banana 

Ice Cream / Yogurt 

Depending on what mood you are in 

you can keep the fruit really cold for an ice cream consistency or let it sit for a while for a yogurt consistency!

What you need:

*3 Bananas*

*Handful of Strawberries*

(Add more strawberries if you want a stronger strawberry flavor)

*A little bit of water*

*Coconut and strawberries for the topping*

(Or whatever you like best (: !)

*****Cut the Strawberries and Bananas small before you freeze them... mine were way to big and wouldn't blend...

SO I added some regular strawberries and bananas and water to help the frozen ones blend.*****

Once your Ice Cream or Yogurt is blended pour it into a dish, add on toppings, and dig in!!

This recipe will make quite a bit of Ice Cream so I made some for the kids !!

BanaCayman Ice Cream

BanaCayman Ice Cream

I LOVE Ice Cream and since I choose not to have dairy I decided to make my own ;)

Not just any kind though, BANANA !!!

The banana's I found at Foster's, a supermarket in the Cayman Islands, were perfect and super ripe!

What better way to make use of a perfect banana than with ice cream!?

What you will need:

*Vitamix Blender*

*3 Ripe Bananas*

*A little bit of water*

How to prepare:

Cut up the 3 bananas and put them in a bowl and place them in the freezer overnight.

In the morning take them out of the freezer and let them thaw out for 10-15 minutes.

Then put the bananas in the blender. The banana's will be harder to blend since they are frozen and by adding a little bit of water the blades with spin easier and 

the ice cream will get done faster.

Once your banana's are at an ice cream consistency,

spoon the deliciousness into a bowl!

To add texture to your ice cream,

add banana slices or any other kind of fruit/topping you like!

EVEN MY GIRLS LOVED THE ICE CREAM...

if they liked it I KNOW you will :)

WAAALAA

you gotcher self some healthy Ice Cream!

My AHHHH HAA moment :)

Banana / Blueberry Popsicle Pop's

 After I poured my Blueberry / Banana "ice cream sauce" on my Banana split
Recipe below:
Banana Split

I realized I had quite a bit left!!

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT

...............

thinking thinking thinking thinking 
............

making a smoothie, using it for salad dressing, and even using it for dipping sauce!

Then I had an AHHHH HAA moment!

********************
POPSICLES !

********************
My mom bought me a cup cake pop kit and I have been thinking to myself
HOW am I going to use this!?!

With some research I learned I can make "date" cupcake pops so that will be perfect!!
BUT 
my creative juices started flowing and I thought to myself
a popsicle sounds amazing!

And this is what I created :)

THE STEPS TO THESE DELICIOUS BANANA / BLUEBERRY 
POP'S:

1) Pour some of the "ice cream sauce" in the tin and place them into the freezer. 

2) Let them freeze (without the sticks) for about 20-25 minutes..
This should give the sauce enough time to harden a little
to be able to hold the sticks!


3)Place the sticks into the sauce and continue to let the pops harden!
About 20-25 minutes.

4) Once the pops come out, they will be frozen...
Let them sit out for a few minutes, and then if you push on them they should pop out!




*They will start to get a little mushy so I recommend to place them in a cup 
and stick them back into the freezer!*

5) They should be hardened, set, and ready to dig in!

AGAIN, 100% GUILT FREE!
Enjoy :*

Who wants a Banana Split!?

Banana / Blueberry Split

This morning I woke up at 4:30 A.M. and went to the gym with my friend, Mollie. Little did we know that we were going to end up with a 2-hour delay, let alone a closing!!!

While we were sitting in the sauna I was thinking of ideas on what I could make! 

BOOM, this was the one!!

It is soo beautiful! I love the vibrant colors and how quick and easy it was to make!

I was planning on making banana ice cream after school today, but instead I used the frozen bananas to make this yummy blueberry banana "ice cream sauce"

:)

What you will need:

*Vitamix blender*

*Festive Plate*

*1 frozen banana*

*1 Carton of frozen blueberries*

*1 banana for the split :)*

*Optional: some blueberries and shredded coconut for the topping*

For the Blueberry / Banana "ice cream sauce"

Put the frozen banana and bluberries into your Vitamix (or other blender) 

and mix for a few seconds until it looks like the picture below!

For the Banana Split

 Use a knife and hold the banana upright and slowly

 (watch your fingers) 

cut down the middle of the banana.

THEN.......

Lay the banana out on your festive plate and begin to pour the blueberry / banana 

"ice cream sauce" over top!!

Lastly, sprinkle your blueberries and shredded coconut to top it off!

(or the ingredients you choose)

:)

NOW, GO AHEAD AND INDULGE!!!

100% GUILT FREE !!!!!

Have a fabulous day <3

What you will need:

*Mason Jar*

*Vitamix Blender*

*2 to 3 bananas*

*Some shredded coconut to taste*

*Raw chocolate granola*

Recipe:

How to make overnight oats

Put 1/2 cup of Chia seeds and Steel-Cut oats into a mason jar

**I read Loni Jane's recipe wrong and put 1/2 cup of both seeds and oats

so you won't have as much in your jar!**

Fill the jar up with water until covering the seeds and oats

Put on the lid and 

keep in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, put the overnight oats into your blender with 2 banana and some shredded coconut!

 Blend for about 10 seconds, or until your oats look the same as the picture below. You do not want to over mix. 

Once your oats are ready,

 grab your mason jar!!

*Put some chocolate granola at the bottom

and add a thin layer of your oats!

*Then cut 1 banana and lay it in on top of the granola/oats.

*Then add the rest of your oats/chia seeds

*To top off your delicious overnight oats add some more chocolate granola and banana slices.

This combination is to die for! I love the texture of chia seeds and love all the omega-3's I'm getting!

Motivate yourself by layering your food!

Half of the battle to eating healthy is the presentation,

make every meal you make look beautiful.

THEN DIG IN :)
