Homemade Bananicles! Frozen Bananas on a Stick.

I don’t know what is is about eating something cool and refreshing on a hot summer day! One of my most favorite things to make is little something I like to call a Bananacle! It is like a Popsicle only it is a frozen banana on a Popsicle stick!

Not only is is extremely healthy for you but it taste amazing! It taste like banana ice-cream on a stick and it is the easiest thing to make! My husband has a major sweet tooth and even he like it, so you know it is good!

All you will need is, Popsicle sticks and Bananas…

Start with ripe bananas and popsicle sticks

…and a knife to cut the bananas in half!

Push the Popsicle stick in the banana on the cut side.

Place the bananas on a plat or in a freezer safe container (especially if you will be freezing longer than 1 day)

Place the Bananacles on a place and freeze over night

Take the plate and put it in the freezer over night or at least until the banana is completely frozen.

Put the bananas on a plate and freeze over night

Once the banana is frozen. Eat and enjoy!

The Perfect Healthy Snack (It is Cool, Crunchy, Creamy and Sweet!)

When it comes to healthy snacks, I would have to say that this is one of my favorite snack. It is a great combination between energy, protein and deliciousness! It is easy to make and even easier to eat.

The combinations are truly endless with this snack. I personally love shopping at Trader Joe’s for all of my food and I especially love their granola section. There are so many amazing oppositions and they all go well with what I am about to share. If you don’t believe me you are just going to have to see for yourself.

You will need:

1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt.
1/2 Cup Granola.
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Strawberry Smoothie Protein.
Fresh fruit, if desired.

First things first. Pour your yogurt into a bowl.

Measure out one scoop of your Shaklee 180 protein. Pour the protein into your bowl. Then measure out a half cup of the granola of your choice. (I used the Mixed Berries)
Next you just need to pour the granola into the bowl.
Once you have everything in the bowl, give it a good mix up and… …you are complete! Just add some Energy Tea (or Pomegranate Lemonade) and you are set for a perfect afternoon snack.

Now do you believe me? Doesn’t that look like a delicious treat? It has a little bit of everything in it. It is cool, crunchy, creamy and sweet. What more can you ask for in a healthy snack?

Energizing Caramel Apple Green Tea

With a chill in the air, there is no better time than the present to sip down the warmth of a Caramel Apple Green Tea. Personally I love drink hot tea in the colder seasons. It warms me up and keeps my blood flowing.

You only need a few things to create this master piece:
Shaklee 180 Energizing Green Tea
Apple Slices
Cinnamon
Caramel
Water

Bring the water to a boil. Pour the hot water into your mug and add the energizing green tea. Than take a spoonful of caramel and stir it into the tea. To finish it off add the apple slices into the mug and sprinkle with cinnamon. Once everything is combined together let it sit for 5 minutes to cool off and absorb all of the flavors.

That is all there is to it. It is really that simple.

I am pretty sure it is safe to say that I am defiantly a tea gal more than I am a coffee gal. I love that this green tea gives me energy but doesn’t make me jittery.

What about you, would you say that you are more of a tea or coffee drinker?

Chocolate Banana and Peanut Butter Shaklee 180 Smoothie

Here is another another one of my favorite smoothies. I honestly should write an e-book of all of the different smoothie recipes that I have. Maybe it is just me but I love the fact that you can turn some of your favorite foods into amazing smoothies.

Today I had a peanut butter chocolate covered banana smoothie. This is everything that I love in a cup! It is kind of like desert for breakfast not to mention it is filled with protein and keeps me full for hours.

All you are going to need is:

• 180 Chocolate Smoothee Mix

• 8 oz. non-fat milk or low-fat soy milk

• 1 tbsp. natural, creamy peanut butter

• 1/2 medium banana

• 4-6 ice cubes

Blend until creamy.

I am personally a smoothie lover. Not just because they helped me lose 40 lbs. but because it helped me turn my life around and gave me my life back. But you can read more of my story here.

What is your favorite smoothie recipe? I would love to give it a try and let you know what I think.
