With everyones busy life, food is put to the back, and healthy food is looked at with taking a long time. I hope you can add some of these go-to snack ideas into your every day diet.

1. Banana and Almond Butter

My favorite brand of Almond Butter is Justin’s, because you can buy them individually packed so you don’t overeat. The chocolate is a nice treat.

2. Store-bought juice

Store-bought juices are quick and easy. I love the Evolution Fresh brand, all of their juices are amazing

3. Smoothie

This option takes a little more time then the other two, but is still a speedy pick. Just make it with this background: ice, nut milk, fruit, (optional) greens, super foods, (optional) vegan protein.

How To Ripen Bananas Fast

April 19, 2013 By ClaireFrancis in Recipe Tags: bananas, oven, ripe 4 Comments

I don’t know about you but I am constantly making recipes with bananas and I frequently run into a problem of the bananas being too raw. Of coarse I usually like to have the bananas ripe naturally, but this is great fast trick to help get you there when you don’t have days to wait.

Recipe:

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Place desired amount of bananas on a pan with foil (spread them out so they have “breathing” room)
They only take a few minutes, so after about 2 minutes check them and turn them for another minute, then take out

I love making this for breakfast. It is quick, easy, and delicious.

The banana-hemp granola recipe I use to make my own granola: http://www.happyolks.com/banana-hemp-granola/

Recipe:

Blend 1 unweetend Samazon acai packet with 1/2 frozen or unfrozen banana and a dash of almond (or preferred nut) milk
Put a couple handfuls or desired amount of granola on the bottom of the bowl
Pour blended Acai mix on top of the granola
Top with favorite fruits, the other half of the banana, and almond shavings(optional). I like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries
For added sweetness, drizzle honey or agave on top

On my Youtube channel I am starting a Cooking with Claire cooking series.
