We’ve Gone Bananas


My husband scored this bundle for $1. What do you do with this many over ripe bananas? You said “make banana bread,” didn’t you? I agree, that is a good idea, however, I’ve got something that’s perfect for a summer breakfast (or even dessert). I give you the Chocolate Banana Shake.

It’s all natural ingredients, no added sugars, a good source of protein, and enough calories to keep you energized all morning. Not to mention full of micro-nutrients that are good for your body, healthy fats, and other health benefits from coconut milk. Before I give you the recipe, the key is to freeze those bananas.  I’ll share a little tip with you that I learned from my Mom: cut up your banana, saran wrap it, and then pop it in the freezer for future use.

This recipe is also adapted from my Mom’s recipe. I have her to thank for this tasty eat.

Want it: Merrell Pace Glove

I’m very excited that Merrell and Vibram have teamed up to create a pair of minimal running shoes that lack the ugly toes like my Vibram Five Fingers. I don’t mind running on the trails in them, but, going to the gym in them is a bit intimidating. Not to mention I’ve heard that some gyms have outlawed them (probably not safe if you drop a barbell on your toe wearing them). The Pace Glove has zero drop heel and is machine washable!  These babies run for $100 on Merrell’s site. Anyone had the pleasure of trying them out?
