Bananas & Cream


so theres this thing that everyone seems to love... and its a bit tasty, can be flavorful, can be plain- but always mostly good. it's called ice cream. 
and I made some.

make your own people! theres not enough to go around. by the way- this recipe is just too simple for you not to try it. Basically scrounge up whatever you got in your cabinets, like I did. and make something good!

2 frozen bananas
2 tbsp. almond butter
cinnamon
chia seeds
2 pc of 86 % dark chocolate

blended in a food processor... and made some beautiful soft serve. oh yes.

I'm in a sweets mood. <3 kinda weird for me- but oh well.
so these are just some abstract photos I took of the process. No pun intended ;) The pic- is just missing the other banana I decided to add in later.




and yesterday- before i went on a very LONG walk-run with my best friend to go with her to get her belly pierced. I saw this. the sky looked awesome!

and the breakdown from our walk-run....


oh and my chocolate chip chia almond butter swirl pancakes from this morning.
I bought Bob's high fiber pancake/waffle mix yesterday- So I've been on a waffle/pancake kick. 
The almond butter swirl was adapted from OSG's site. She has a recipe for peanut butter swirl pancakes, so I changed it into almond butter cause I like it better for me.

1 cup whole wheat high fiber Bob's pancake mix
2 tbsp water + 2 tbsp chia seeds 'for a egg replacer'
1 tbsp apple sauce 'oil replacer'
2 tbsp. raw sugar
cinnamon
handful of dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or more)
3/4 cup almond milk

the swirl part:
2 tbsp apple sauce
2 tbsp almond butter

put swirl part in plastic baggie- cut tip off, and once you put the batter in the pan, swirl in whatever style you'd like on top of the pancake after it's bubbling- then flip. proceed to cook regularly.

almond butter  and apple sauce mix 

balanced breakfast? hmm.
