SO I had lots of ripe bananas to use and the first thing that came to my mind was to do banana bread! But banana bread does not always equal healthy and clean. So I searched the webs to find a good recipe that is not too bad and I found an healthy alternative packed with protein. I stole it from Eat Yourslef Skinny but adapted a little bit. I added a little bit of cacao to make it a bit more chocolaty and used plain greek yogurt instead. This banana bread is healthy and very close to clean. If I had coconut flour on hand I would’ve use that instead of whole wheat flour but eh, we do what we can with what we have! SO here it goesss

Protein Banana Bread

The ingredients arreeeee:

Bread

  • 1 1/2 scoop BioX Whey Isolate Protein Powder Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor
  • 1/2 whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tbsp 0% fat  greek yogurt

Topping

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • drizzling of honey
  • sprinkling of cinnamon

Preheat oven at 350° and spray a bread pan with non-stick spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon.

Add in the mashed bananas, egg whites and the greek yogurt. Mix well until well blended. Pour mixture into the pan.

In the same bowl(to use less dishes possible!) combine with clean hands the toppings ingredients. It should looks like crumbs and then sprinkle on top of the mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. But watch it now and then just to make sure you don’t over bake it.

If you are like me, you are careful of what you eat, well… most of the time. So when you watch a movie, or spend a night in, and you feel the urge for something salty, comforting and good, like chips… here’s the alternative. These baked potatoes will satisfy your urges and will keep you happy. Homemade chips taste even better than grocery stores chips! I have to be honest here, I thought that when I bought these potatoes, they were sweet potatoes(dumb moment). I actually planned on making baked sweet potatoes, when I cut the first sliced I was like… Uh-oh. But they turned out very delicious. You can make this recipe with whatever potatoes you feel like eating. But sweet potatoes must be better…I’ll make sure I buy the right potatoes next time…

Baked Potato Chips

The ingredients arreeeee:

  • 2-3 medium-size potatoes, sliced in 1/4 inch-thick(or whatever quantity you feel like)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chili powder(or whatever other spice you like)
  • Salt

First, preheat oven at 400° and line two baking sheet.

Make sure to wash well the potatoes before slicing them. In a large bowl, put potato slices and add the olive oil, chili powder and salt. Toss with your hands to combine.

Spread out potato slices on baking sheets and then place one baking sheet in the center of the oven and the other on the bottom. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and little bit soft in the middle. Flip potato chips halfway through. Let dry for 5 minutes and sprinkle with a little bit of more salt. Put them in a bowl and serve!

Brownie Batter Pancakes (1)

I seriously think that every time I cook something new, it’s better than the other recipes I’ve ever done. This brownie batter pancake recipe is seriously to die for plus it’s vegan, healthy and low-cal(minus the icing, you can replace with jam). I had to whip up something fast for the icing because I didn’t have any maple syrup but I thought it was even better with the icing. Perfect way start to my day! And you can add whatever you feel like! bananas, strawberries, nuts, and many more. I loved it so much I think I will do it again tomorrow. This recipe is only one serving. In the picture it may appear big but the pancakes are actually mini. It makes about 6 -7 mini pancakes. I adapted my recipe on this one from skinnytaste and I added the icing.

Brownie Batter Pancakes with Icing

The ingredients arreeeee:

Pancakes

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 5 1/2 tbsp almond milk

Icing

  • 1/4 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1 tsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp almond milk

First, heat a small pan with a butter flavored cooking spray on medium heat.

In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar and salt until well combined. Add the applesauce, vanilla and milk to dry the dry mixture. Mix until well blend.

When the pan is warm, drop the heat to very low. Take a spoon and take a little of the batter and drop in on the pan. It will make a small round. Cook on each side for about 1 minute. Not more. Start again until there’s not batter left. It should make about 6-7 mini pancakes.

For the icing, Mix the sugar, butter and almond milk until desired consistency. Drizzle over the pile of mini pancakes. Serve with fruits and enjoy!
