Banana Flour-less Muffins!

Made some banana muffins that have NO flour!  I couldn't believe how cake like they are without the flour!

2 ripe bananas (they HAVE to be ripe)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
3 TBSP honey
1 cup of peanut butter (I used homemade nut butter)
toppings (I used nuts, 60% cacao chocolate chips, raisins...but these were NOT my favorites!)

Mix all ingredients together and bake for 8 - 10 minutes in a 400 degree oven!

Almost-Clean Banana Pancakes

So we LOVE pancakes!  Today while the boys were at Bible School they requested I make pancakes for them.  So I checked out Betty Crocker's recipe and modified it a bit!  These taste like banana bread!  SO GOOD!

1 egg
2 bananas
3/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup flour (I used white because that is what I had, but I bet whole wheat would be good too)
3/4 cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together, throw in a frying pan over medium heat!  Enjoy!  I added syrup and powdered sugar for the kiddos, but they were good straight out of the frying pan!

Pumpkin Pie Shakeology Balls

I recently got an order of Vanilla Shakeology and hadn't tried it yet. So today, I decided I should separate myself from the chocolate for a day or two and created this simple recipe! They are delicious and a nice change from the chocolate Shakeology Balls I have been eating the past few months :)

Shakeology Pumpkin Pie Balls

3 scoops of Vanilla Shakeology

1/4 c coconut oil

1 tbsp honey

1/4 cup water

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix, roll, refrigerate, eat!

Clean Chicken Salad and Ranch Dressing

Found this recipe on Pintrest.  Modified it a bit :)

First, make the Clean Ranch!

1 container of plain greek yogurt
10 tbsp of milk
1/2 tsp of onion powder
1/2 tsp dried dill
1 tsp of dried parsley
1 tsp of dried chives
1 tsp of salt

pepper...if you like that sort of thing ;)

For the Chicken Salad, it would be best to make your own chicken breast and shred it, but I just used a large can of chicken in water.

1 lrg can of chicken
1/4 cup of ranch dressing mix
1/4 + cup of diced red onion - make sure to dice very small, these are potent!

Mix and enjoy!  This makes 2 servings!  I added some cheese, avocado and almond nut thins when I had it for lunch!

Happy Memorial Day - Family Breakfast

Happy Memorial Day!

This morning we started our day with some American breakfasts ;)The kiddos had confetti waffles with strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar!

The hubs and I are having American as Apple Pie Overnight Oats!

To make the oats - mix 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup water, 3/4 cup vanilla greek yogurt, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.  Mix all together and refrigerate over night.

In the morning, chop 1 cup of apples and add the overnight oats mixture to the top!  DELICIOUS!

Shakeology Brownie Balls

I realize that this may have been a bit hidden!  LOL No more!

Shakeology Brownie Balls

3 scoops of Shakeology
1/4 c coconut oil
1/4 c peanut butter
1/4 c unsweetened coconut
1/4 c chocolate chips (I used 60% cacao)

Mix all ingredients together. Roll into balls! Refrigerate and Enjoy!

Clean Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar Soup

My kids and husband (and I) LOVE the Broccoli Cheddar soup from Panera.  Problem?  It's not the cleanest thing to eat.  So I found a recipe for Clean Broccoli Cheddar soup that I modified to fit our needs and likes!

3 TBSP EVOO
3 TBSP whole wheat flour
1 cup milk (I use lactaid because my kids are lactose-intolerant)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shredded cauliflower
1 cup shredded broccoli
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3 cups shredded cheddar

In a frying pan, heat EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil).  Whisk in flour.  Once the flour is all mixed in, it should start to make a paste.  Slowly whisk in milk.  Once milk is totally incorporated whisk in Chicken broth.

Transfer mixture to crockpot.  Add shredded veggies (I shred mine, to hide extras so my kids don't know they are eating carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli).

Cook on high for 4 hours.  Add shredded cheddar and cook an additional hour!

Stir and Enjoy!
