White Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chunks!

My poor banana has been taken by SIN!

I blame delectable wonders of White Chocolate 

Wondeful Peanut Butter by PeanutButter&Co !!!

Peanut Butter on Banana with Vegan Chocolate Chunks!!!

To garnish (hehehe), I grabbed a small handful of Enjoy Life Foods 

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks because, (in my opinion), 

chocolate provides a needed KICK to such a memorably classic snack

Question: How do you "garnish" your bananas?

Cacao Coconut Bliss Bowl

Snack time for Snacking Squirrel gets a little bit messy...

This raw vegan mess was simply scrumptious and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Sliced banana topped with melted Artisana's Raw Cacao Bliss Coconut 

Butter and paired with 1/3 of Art Of Raw's Spiced Cacao Goji Maca Bar

So refreshing on a hot day since I threw it in the freezer for a few minutes to chill

Banana Rice Sugar Cookies

There's no holding back my love of bananas

And I've got a super easy cookie recipe to share with you

Banana Rice Sugar Cookies

created by Snacking Squirrel

Ingredients

1 cup rice flour

1/4 cup potato flour

1 large mashed banana

1 whole beaten egg

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup melted margarine

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

Directions

A. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit

B. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl

C. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl

D. Mix wet ingredients slowly into dry

E. Combine and scoop onto a cookie sheet

F. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned

They are sort of a mixture between a soft banana muffin 

and a soft/chewy sugar cookie. Like a Banana Snickerdoodle

Yields: 6-8 cookies

Question: What's one of your
favorite baking recipes with banana?

Chocolate Shakeology

"The Healthiest Meal Of The Day" Chocolate Shakeology

A friend of mine sent me 2 packets of Chocolate and 2 of Vanilla Shakeology Mixes

 to try. She swears by them and I was excited to test them out. I made mine with water,

 ice, and banana. They're super nutrient dense and contain 160 calories per packet

Let me tell you, they are addictive! It reminded me 

of a chocolate milkshake, it was so creamy and sweet

I'm definitely going to be drinking more of these for breakfast and 

even lunch! They're just THAT good! And I've tried a lot of protein

 powder drink mixes in the past, but this is by far my favorite!

Questions: Do you drink protein powder mixes? 

What brand of protein powder do you use/is your favorite?

Tasty Taste Parfait

 

Good morning sunshines! Its a beautiful day for a banana parfait :)

I've been in love with this gf granola from Taste Coffee 

Shop and been finding an excuse to have it most mornings 

0% Greek Yogurt with Sliced Banana and Gluten Free Granola

I still take and post "too many" photos but I love

 capturing different angles of food. It's just my style ;)

Question: What did you have for breakfast today?

Qi'a Superfood Cereal

New Qi'a Superfood Superseeds & Grains Oatmeal/Cereal

150 calories of supergrains and seeds, a perfect kick-in-the-butt breakfast

I was excited to try Qi'a after seeing it in the store and let me tell 

you it is delicious! The texture of the chia seeds really adds a nice bite 

I give Qi'a Superfood Cereal a 4.5/5 for its

 great texture, earthy flavor, and robust heartiness

Banana Berry Granola Bowl

Woke up to this delight in the morning...

Bowl of Banana and Blueberries with Gluten Free Granola 

Smothered in So Nice Unsweetened Almond Milk

I gobbled it up and basked in the surplus of energy it gave me

And just for giggles...

This shirt may or may not express my current mood ;)

Colorful Oats and Potatoes

I've got a very colorful food post for you today

Starting with my breakfast oatmeal

Gluten free instant oatmeal with 1/2 banana, 

1/3 cup blueberries and lots of cinnamon

Bright, vibrant, and scrumptious!

Lunch was another colorful meal

I decided to use the leftover roasted sweet potatoes from last night

A mix of purple and white sweet potatoes with yams

Paired with 2/3 roasted chicken breast and stirfried vegetables

Balanced meals = happy squirrel
