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!

It doesn’t get must easier than this! It is great for all ages and it everyone that like bananas love it! I

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.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog to get the rest of my amazing smoothie recipes.

Banana Almond Smoothie

I have been on the Shaklee 180 weight management program for 3 weeks now and I can’t even begin to explain how good I feel every time I drink my daily energizing smoothie. I love all 4 of the rich creamy and delicious flavor. When I have time in the morning I will blend up my smoothies with some fruits and/or vegetables for more nutrition and to change it up from day to day.

One of my favorite fruits to add to my smoothies would have to be bananas. I love them fresh or frozen and it blends well with so many flavors. Today I used the the Vanilla Energizing Smoothie although I love bananas with the Chocolate and Strawberry Energizing Smoothee as well.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Teaspoon Slivered Almonds (Blend in the blender first before adding any ingredients to get them finally chopped)

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery after you work out)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Vanilla Smoothee mix.

Ice (Blend until creamy)

I would love to know that you like to put into your smoothies. I am always looking to try out new smoothies and new ingredients, are there any you think I just have to try?

Thank you all for reading and for following along.

Chocolate Covered Banana Smoothee!

For the past 2 weeks I have had the privilege on being able to get up every morning at 5:30A.M. to go over to my Fiancés house to work out! This has been an amazing experience for the both of us and we are going to be continuing to do so until our wedding. Being that I am not a morning person, I get more excited about my breakfast smoothee I have after I work out then actually working out lol. Well at least for now, maybe that will change later. My fiancé is a total morning person and he is convinced that he is going to convert me. 😉 We will see, maybe I will convert him!

I also like to change things up from day to day. This morning I had what I like to call a Chocolate Covered Banana Shaklee 180 Smoothee. It is the best breakfast for any morning. It fills you up for a good couple of hours and it leaves you feeling satisfied and healthy.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

1/2 Banana

1 Scoop of Shaklee Physique Natural Banana (This is an amazing for muscle recovery)
1 Scoop of Shaklee 180 Energizing Chocolate Smoothee mix. (For an extra chocolaty flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa)

Ice (Blend until your favorite consistency)
