Over the next few weeks I am going to take you on a personal growth and self-development journey…
My mission with this series is to get you to that place that you truly want to be at in life, both personally and professionally.
Cooking has always been a passion of mine, so it only made sense to include some of my favorite recipes in this series for you. You can find more on my Instagram and other social channels here.
As I am also a big believer in doing things that will save you time, money, and energy. Meal prepping is where it is at!
SWEET SNACKS
CHOCOLATE MINT ICE CREAM
4 Bananas
½ cup Baking Cocoa
Fresh Mint Leaves or Peppermint Extract
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
½ cup Almond Milk
Cut up bananas. Place all ingredients and blend on medium until the
texture is creamy. If using a smaller blender, this will be 3-4 small
batches.
Freeze overnight. I recommend using iced cube trays, popsicle sticks,
or small bowls to portion out. Makes a good pudding if left in fridge,
if you don’t prefer the frozen consistency.
Additional flavor options would be to add peanut or almond butter to
replace mint or pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a festive flavor.
I like shredded coconut with chocolate as well!
FRUIT SORBET
Assorted variety of cut-up Fruit.
Add to blender. Add almond or coconut milk for thicker smoothie
consistency. For a thinner consistency, blend with green tea.
Freeze overnight. I recommend using iced cube trays, popsicle sticks,
or small bowls to portion out.
I like to use the frozen sorbet cubes in my smoothies to create a thicker consistency.
CHOCOLATE DESSERT HUMMUS
1 can Black Beans
½ cup Baking Cocoa
1 tsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract or a tiny drop of Vanilla Liquid Stevia
Blend all ingredients on medium until thick texture. Place in the
fridge for 30 minutes. Garnish with strawberry, serve, and enjoy.
If using a smaller blender, this will be 3-4 small batches. Add more
Tahini for a thicker texture and more water to thin it out.
If you add some coconut oil, you can turn this hummus into no-bake
double chocolate truffles. Just roll out the dough-like consistency.
PUMPKIN OATMEAL COOKIES
1 can Pumpkin
2 ½ cups Gluten-Free Oats
2-3 tbsp Honey
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Roll into 1-2 tbsp sized balls. The
consistency of batter will be quite sticky so keep an olive oil spray
and small spoon next to you for your hands.
Cook on 350 for 10-15 minutes.
Additional ingredients to add for flavor would be dark chocolate,
walnuts, shredded coconut (1/4 cup), and nutmeg. I love to grate dark
chocolate chunks in batter.
