It includes banana, carrots, frozen berries, cinnamon and mandarin oranges to make a delicious holiday-inspired drink. Hope you enjoy!

Directions:

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth;)

Cinnamon Apples

Leave a comment

Hey there! If you didn’t see my Instagram story the other day, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve decided to only post once a week from now on. I really underestimated how busy I’d be once school started up again, and haven’t been able to keep up with posting three times per week, as much as I’ve wanted to! So, I’ll for sure be posting every Monday, and there might be some extra bonus posts sprinkled throughout the week sometimes.

Annnnnywaaaays, this week I have yet another super fall-ish recipe! These cinnamon apples take about 15 minutes to whip up and are SO DELISH! They’re everything that fall should be and more. They would be great on oatmeal, yogurt, in a pie, on nice cream, in cereal, the list goes on and on! I devoured them all on their own:) Enjoy the recipe:))

Cinnamon Apples

Serves: 2

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tbs ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup water

Directions:

  1. In a small pot, bring all of the ingredients to a boil.
  2. Bring down to a simmer and cover, cooking for about 8 minutes, or until the apples are soft.
  3. Pour the apples through a strainer to get rid of the excess liquid. If you like you can mash the apples a bit before serving to give a smoother texture. Dump into a bowl and enjoy!

I think that today is actually the first day of fall, so it’s the perfect time to make and enjoy this recipe! Have a good week;))

Mango and Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches

Leave a comment

Hi! I promise that next week I’ll go back to savoury recipes, but I’m trying to cram all of these summer desserts in before fall;) I don’t think that you guys will be complaining too much anyways, because these ice cream sandwiches are pretty darn good. Mango and Banana Nice Cream is sandwiched between two date and cinnamon cookies, making the perfect treat👌. Hope you enjoy!

Mango and Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches

Serves: 3

Total Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Cookies:

  • 8 small dates, pitted
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbs cinnamon
  • 1 tbs chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup water

For the Nice Cream:

  • 1 small banana, frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mango
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 tbs water

Directions:

  1. Start by making the cookies. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and water. Let sit for about 15 minutes to form a chia “egg”.
  3. Meanwhile, in a blender, pulse the dates, oats, oat flour, vanilla, and cinnamon until combined.
  4. Dump the mixture into a bowl and add in the chia “egg”. Stir together until a dough forms.
  5. Spoon out a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll it in between your hands to form a ball. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet and flatten so that it forms a small disc. Continue to do this with the rest of the dough, you should end up with 6 cookies (three sandwiches).
  6. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the bottom of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to a small plate and place in the freezer to cool completely.
  7. While the cookies are baking, make the Nice Cream. Blend all of the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Place in a parchment lined bowl and put in the freezer while you wait for the cookies to bake and cool.
  8. When the cookies are completely cool, remove them and the Nice Cream from the freezer. Have a small parchment lined baking sheet ready. Scoop about a tablespoon of nice cream onto the flat side of three cookies. Place another cookie on top of each one to form a sandwich. Put the sandwiches on the baking sheet and move them to the freezer right away, before the Nice Cream melts.
  9. Let the sandwiches set in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes before serving.
  10. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend enjoying these sweet treats!

Chocolate Dipped Bananas

Leave a comment

You guys, I literally thought that it was Sunday today! Funny how summer does that to you🤣 So, as a kind of last minute post, I decided to whip up these chocolate dipped bananas. I’ve had dessert on the brain lately;) This frozen treat is pretty simple to whip up, although a bit messy. All you have to do is make some chocolate sauce, dip the bananas in it, then sprinkle them with nuts or other toppings and throw them in the freezer. You don’t really even have to freeze them if you don’t want, you can just eat them as is. Spoiler Alert: THEY’RE REALLY GOOD. Hope you enjoy;)

Chocolate Dipped Bananas

Serves: 4

Total Time: 60-75 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas, slightly ripe
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbs coconut oil
  • 1 tbs water

Other:

  • 4 small skewers

Directions:

  1. In a small pot, mix together the cocoa powder, maple syrup and coconut oil. Bring to a simmer on the stove and stir until well combined.
  2. Remove the chocolate sauce from the heat once it’s reached a simmer. Add in the water and stir. The result should be a smooth sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce into a small bowl, or something that will be easy to dip the bananas into. Cut the bananas in half. Using your hands, dip the bananas into the chocolate sauce and then lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Stick a skewer into each banana and sprinkle with desired toppings.
  5. Eat as is or put the tray in the freezer for about 45 minutes to an hour.
  6. Remove the bananas from the freezer and enjoy!

I already know that there won’t be enough hot days left this summer to enjoy as many of these bananas as I want to🤧🤧 But I guess that eating a frozen dessert in the fall never killed anyone! See you guys on Wednesday;)
