HANNAH'S BANANAS

We have been seeing Hannah's Bananas everywhere and we were dying to try these treats taking the event world by storm! Thanks to our 1-year-old BFF, Ruby, we were able to dig in and have these super cute frozen bananas at her birthday party last weekend.

Hannah, who started her company as a high school project, 10 years ago, offers a variety of packages and banana sizes for all of your party needs. And she was the sweetest person. Her website says that her 1st grade dream was to be "ice cream (wo)man." Love it.

Her cart holds everything for the perfect frozen banana experience.

Her toppings included Oreos, shredded coconut, rainbow sprinkles and peanuts.

Dipping her banana bite into liquid chocolate.

Topped with sprinkles and ready to eat!

Thanks precious Ruby and beautiful mama, Rachelle! Great party!! xo!

GREEN BUNNY SMOOTHIE

I recently concocted this healthy, spring smoothie packed with fruit, veggies and healthy fats. I love finding ways of getting Brixton to eat more veggies. The whole family loves it.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Almond Milk

2 Carrots

4 Large Spinach Leaves

1 Banana (frozen is best)

1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil

1-1/2 Tablespoons Shredded Unsweetened Coconut

Ice

---

In a blender combine all ingredients (except 1/2 teaspoon of shredded coconut - save for garnish).

Add two cubes of ice.

If your banana is not frozen, add two extra cubes (four total).

Blend until smooth and completely combined.

Pour into a glass an garnish with the remaining coconut shreds. I topped mine off with a plant-based straw.

I think this bunny is enjoying his smoothie! xx

5-INGREDIENT, NO-SUGAR, NO-COOK DESSERT (OR BREAKFAST!)

Because I wasn't allowed to eat much sugar as a kid, a lot of our mid-week "desserts" were healthy cereals with fruit. I do like the idea of trying to stay away from sugar - at least during the week - so I carried on the tradition with this dessert that I make when my husband and I are trying to be "good" but still want a treat. He now says he prefers this to any real sugar dessert. I use raw cream (in addition to homemade coconut milk), which is pretty decadent (but I also believe has many healthy properties), but you can use any kind of milk/mylk of your choice. Whatever suits your diet will taste great - I've made it with only almond mylk and it's still really yummy. I keep the 5 ingredients in my house fairly regularly, so I can whip this up in a moment of dessert desperation. Hope this helps to kick off your week. Happy Monday Y'all!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Nature's Path Organic Qi'a Cereal (It only has 3 ingredients: Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Buckwheat Groats & Organic Hemp Seeds)

2 Organic Dates

1/2 Cup Organic Blueberries

2 Tablespoons Organic, Unsweetened Organic Coconut Shreds

1/2 or More Any Milk or Cream of Your Choice

+++

Here's how I like to put it together:

Place Qi'a Cereal at the bottom of the bowl. This cereal is very dense - a little goes a long way.

Slice two dates into pieces and add.

Add the blueberries.

Sprinkle on the Shredded Coconut.

Fill the bowl with about 1/2-3/4 cup milk/cream, until it completely covers the cereal. Wait a few seconds for the cereal to soak in some of the liquid and stir. If there are any dry parts to the cereal add more liquid until all of the cereal is covered. Dig in!
