Snack: Nana ice cream

Hello my sunshines! How are you today? Well I said that I'll make a series of snack/lunch that I ate in my examens week. So this recipe is the classical Nana Ice Cream or Nicecream, this "ice cream" is the key to not skipping your healthy diet it's fully raw,sugar free, gluten free,dairy-free and 100% natural. 

This is a bless of heaven for me in the hot afternoons now here,we're in Spring so the weather is starting  to change and it's  becoming  hot these days.

So let's go to the recipe

The regular base for any kind of nana ice cream:

2 frozen ripe bananas

A sweetner of your choice(dates,agave,stevia or honey)

2-3 tbsp of milk(oat,rice,almond,soy)

To make the base you just need to put all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor and mix until gets a creamy frozen consistence.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Now I'll show you 3 simple and healthy ways to customize:

   The detox nana ice cream

1 kale

1 kiwi

1 apple 

1/2 lemon

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Super Berry nana ice cream

                                                                 5 strawberries

                                                                 6 blackberries

                                                                 4 raspberries

Tropical uh la la nana ice cream 

1/2 cup frozen mango

1/2 cup of fresh pinnapples

Mint leaves

I don't have a photo to show for you guys but I was in the blog Grateful Grazer (check out her blog she's lovely) well it looks like this:

If you guys want to make this more healthier you can add some seeds like chia,flex or hemp seeds. 

Instead of  milk you can change for water too and after you prepare feel free to add as much fruit as you want!

Have a great day

Spiced banana and Plum overnight oatmeal

Hello sweeties! How are you?So yeah.. another oatmeal recipe, I know,i know but in the week I don't have time to make pancakes,smoothies or porridge in the morning, because my class start at 07:00 a.m so I have to be quick .But in my defense I need to say how wonderful this oatmeal taste, really guys this recipe will now in my morning oatmeal recipes. It's not simples, requires a bit of time but the results are fantastic!Guys I need to explain something,I live in Brazil and fruits like raspberries,blueberries,plums,kiwis,pomegranates are really expansive and a bit hard to find because guess what? It's a tropical country, it's hot like a oven here even in the winter, i live in the south and now we're are close to start the spring and today is doing 32ºC!(in the summer this temperature it's considered normal/slightly cold)So this kind of autumn/winter fruits don't adapted well and they get bad really quickly. BESIDES of that yesterday I went to the grocery store and i'm having cravings for eating plums and kiwis in the breakfast and I bought some of them and I'll be posting these days some recipes with tropical fruits and veggies (because is more cheap here) and with fruits and 
veggies more exotic.


Ingredients

1/4 cup of oats(organic,rolled,fine oats)

1/4 cup milk(soy,rice,almond)

1 tbsp of chia seeds - optional-

1/4 of yogurt(greek,planted based)

Cinnamon and nutmeg

1 plum

1 banana

Raisins and granola-optional-

Instructions

In a bowl add the oats,milk chia seeds and the yogurt and mix well. Mashed the banana and add and mixture again until forms a really thick and creamy texture and add the spices. Now that the base is formed you can finish in two ways: 1. Leave like this and just put the sliced plum on top or 2. you can alternate plums and the oatmeal making layers in a mason jar. This way will be more pretty and fun to eat. I was too lazy last night so I just chopped and mixture in this lovely bowl.

Leave in the fridge for ate least 4 hours or overnight and in the next morning topped with some seeds,fruits,granola and add more of spices if you like.

Have a lovely day guys

Hello my darlings!How are you? Guys I'm really tired because in a few days my school exames begin and NOO I DON'T WANT THIS , do you guys go to gym frequently? Well I'm trying to change my lifestyle of fangirling foodaholic girl who spends ALL DAY & NIGHT in front of my computer watching series and movies and etc.. So I started the gym and,seriously i'm dying, gym is killing me! After the gym I went to my home and I was so tired that i just wanted to take a shower,eat something and DIE sleep. This is normal to happen?(Maybe i can be allergic to exercises bwahahaha just kidding).

So because of my busy days and the gym, I've been in need of some pleasure in the morning, and what better pleasure than chocolate, like Lin from the blog So fine was the morning(If you don't know her,you must follow her on instagram she's so cute and her recipes are super yummy!) says ''Chocolate is the new cocaine'' and oh my God she's totally right, this oatmeal is really quick,creamy and easy to make.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of rolled oats

1 tbsp of chia seeds

1/2 cup of soy milk (use the milk that you prefer)

1/4 cup of greek yogurt

1 tbsp of unsweeted cocoa powder

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and set in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.In the morning it's just chop some fruits(strawberries are really cheap now so i'm using them a lot) and I sprinkle a little bit of this gorgeous honey granola.

(If you like your oatmeal even more creamy you can add 1/2 a cup of greek yogurt.)

Have a lovely day
