Banana Popsicles with Vanilla and Cinnamon

Makes 5 popsicles Ingredients:

• 10 pitted dates
• 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 1 large ripe banana, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup milk – I used coconut milk but almond milk or dairy milk would also work
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions: Soak dates in hot water for about 5 minutes to soften them, then remove from water and chop them into very small pieces.  Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.  Pour into 5 popsicle molds and freeze.Note: I had just barely enough mix to fill 5 standard popsicle molds so you may want to add a touch more yogurt and milk to the mixture to make sure there is enough, depending on the size of your popsicle molds. source: http://www.onceuponacuttingboard.com/2012/06/banana-date-popsicles.html

Fresh Fruit Chocolate Bar

Hey guys! So I recently found this cool recipe that looked really YUMMY and I wanted to share it with you guys… I think you can make this in smaller sizes and if you want to eat it, then eat it with MODERATION 

FRESH FRUIT CHOCOLATE BAR RECIPE(Makes 4 chocolate bars)

Ingredients

1/2 banana
4 large strawberries
10 other berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) or other ripe fruit
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (you can use a chocolate that doesn’t have sugar and stuff like that)

Equipment: mini loaf pan, foil, cooking spray

Directions
Prepare the fruit, slicing the banana and strawberries into thin 1/4” slices. Slice the raspberries and blackberries into 1/4” slices. Cut blueberries in half.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until smooth and completely melted.

Line the loaf pan with strips of foil so that it overhangs on each side. Spritz with a bit of cooking spray so that it peels off easily.

Spread a thin 1/2” layer of chocolate in the bottom of each well. Arrange the prepared fruit closely together. Top off with another thin layer of chocolate. Tap the pan against the table so that everything settles and to get rid of any air bubbles. Add additional chocolate on any parts where fruit peeks out.

Place in refrigerator and let chill 30 minutes or until chocolate is completely set. Use a warm knife to loosen the edges and then lift out of the mold. Peel off the foil and serve immediately or store in fridge wrapped in foil up to 24 hours.

Frozen Grapes

Put grapes in the freezer and wait 30-60 minutes until the grapes are frozen. They taste delicious!

Simple homemade granola bars

If you want a healthy snack or pre-post workout snack then here’s the perfect granola bar!

What you’ll need:

1 1/2 cups of rolled oats

1 cup chopped almonds (or other nuts)

1 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

What you’ll need to do:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients. Spread into a well-greased pan. Bake for 10-20 minutes, depending on your crunch preference (the longer it cooks, the crunchier it gets). Let the granola cool before you cut it, or it will fall apart.
