Banana Pops

This is going to be a gorgeous week in Philadelphia… and I am already thinking of some awesome pop recipes! A great sweet treat and you can sneak so many fruits and veggies into them.

Ingredients

2 bananas, ripe

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup peanuts, crushed

2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, Bettern is amazing

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Blend all ingredients and pour into molds! Freeze for 3 hours minimum! These are easier to release if you run them under hot water.

Incredible Freezer Almond Butter Fudge

This is such a great invention. Who doesn’t like dessert that you don’t have to bake and takes 15 minutes or less to plop into a bowl and forget about in the freezer? I got the base recipe from a great site called, Detoxinista.com. Check out her recipe for basic almond butter freezer fudge! I started out with that and it was deliciously smooth, creamy, amazing goodness in a small chunk.

Ingredients

1 cup almond butter, organic if possible, and you can use peanut butter too for a denser fudge, or you can make your own! Post coming soon

Cinnamon, as desired

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

2 tablespoons raw honey, I used white raw honey

Pink Himalayan sea salt, a dash, optional

A swirl of melted dark chocolate chips, optional

Roasted almonds, chopped, optional

Chopped dates, optional

Directions

In a bowl, combine all bolded ingredients. In a baking pan or dish (I used a loaf pan because my freezer was packed), line with enough wax paper that the sides are covered. This will make it so that you can lift the frozen fudge out of the freezer and slice into your desired thickness. Pour mixture into the wax paper. Add toppings if desired, but it is great all on its own as well! Freeze 2 hours or until solid.
