Chickpea Nutella

Hello again! I’m back, and this time you only had to wait ten days in-between posts! I think that’s a new record. Seriously though, this “Nutella” is amazing. If you’re skeptical about the whole chickpea thing, don’t worry, I was too. But the end result was this delicious chocolatey spread that goes well with just about everything. There is an option to add some peanut butter, which I obviously did, but if you’re sick of all the peanut butter recipes on this site than feel free to take a break from it! Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of peanut butter. Before I give you the recipe, I want to commemorate shaneandsimple.com for coming up with it:)

Ingredients:

  • 1 15oz can of chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • 1/4 creamy natural peanut butter (optional)
  • 1 small ripe banana
  • 1/4 cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp water (or more; add until you reach your desired consistency)

 

Directions:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until desired consistency is reached. Add more water if needed.

 

And……………. wow, that’s pretty much it. I think that’s the simplest recipe ever! Enjoy this spread on toast, with fruit, or anything else that needs chocolate on it! (Which is pretty much everything.) Thank for checking out this recipe! I’ll definitely be posting more in the summer – this darn invention called “studying for final exams” is killing my free time! Enjoy this spread in the meantime!

PB Banana Creamsicles

Hi! I seriously can’t wait to share this recipe with you; I know I say this in every post, but these creamsicles are actually my favourite recipe of all time! They’re delicious, and made with some of my favourite things; you guessed it, bananas and peanut butter! I actually found this recipe on Pinterest, and would like to give a little shout-out to feedingyourbeauty.com for making my tastebuds super happy! These measurements make approximately 6-8 creamsicles, depending on how big your molds are. If you don’t have any molds, it’s all good! Freeze the creamsicle batter (do you call it batter?) as directed in my Very Berry Frozen Yogurt post. Without further ado, here’s the recipe for this creamy summer treat:

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium bananas, chopped and frozen
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 cup all natural peanut butter (salted and unsalted both work) plus more for swirling
  • 2 tbs milk of your choice
  • A big pinch of salt! (You won’t need extra salt if your peanut butter is salted)

Directions:

  1. Blend bananas, milk, vanilla, 1/3 cup peanut butter and salt (if using) in a high speed blender until smooth.
  2. Scoop the mixture out of the blender and fill each mold about halfway.
  3. Swirl in about 1tsp of peanut butter, and a little bit more salt if it isn’t salted for that delicious sweet and salty element.
  4. Fill the molds with the remaining banana mixture.
  5. Pop in the popsicle sticks and freeze for about 2-3 hours. MAKE SURE THEY ARE COMPLETELY FROZEN BEFORE YOU TRY AND REMOVE THEM FROM THD MOLDS. 😉
  6. Run warm water over the molds to release the creamsicles.
  7. Enjoy!

Have fun making and eating these scrumptious creamsicles! They’re the perfect cold treat on a hot day;)

Very Berry Frozen Yogurt

Hey peoples! Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through the week-you can do it! I’m always looking for healthy treats, and I found this Frozen Yogurt on Pinterest a little while ago. There’s no added sugar or other unwanted additives with names so long that you can’t pronounce ( I would name a few but I don’t think that I can spell any of them right), and also tastes delicious! Thanks to Gimme Delicious at gimmedelicious.com for this recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen berries
  • 1/2 cup Vanilla or Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of Honey
  • Dash of vanilla
  • A bit of lemon juice (optional)

Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Eat is straight from the blender, or put it in the freezer for a bit for a harder alternative.
  4. That’s it!

So simple and so delicious! I haven’t tried it with different frozen fruits, but I’m sure it would work just as well. Let me know if you’ve tried any!
