The Frozen Banana

I can't live without my frozen banana in my shake every morning. Since I've discovered this little trick I'm hooked! 

The frozen banana is the perfect compliment to my shake because it adds coldness without being ice and I use a half banana in my shake anyway! 

This morning I was out of frozen bananas and no ice to boot! Now I like my shakes cold but I figured it woukd be fine. I threw in a half banana, scoop of peanut butter, almond milk and one scoop of chocolate vegan shakeology. It was good, but because it wasn't cold I just couldn't enjoy it! 

Right away I made sure to get the bunch of bananas down from the window sill and put them into the freezer! That way I don't wake up and not have one for tomorrow! Phew!! 

Can't live with out them lol! 

Thursday's Bread pick: Carrot Raisin Manna Bread

This is another bread from the freezer section. However unlike the Ezekiel loaf this one is not sliced.

I chose this bread because it had the fewest ingredients of all the loaves I looked at! 

Sprouted wheat kernels

Filtered water 

Carrots

Raisins

No salt, leavening, yeast, oil or sweeteners.

Pretty amazing! But does it taste good?

The instructions say to store frozen or refrigerated, to slice either thaw or dip a serrated knife into water and use a gentle sawing motion. 

To avoid cutting any fingers off I chose to thaw in the fridge over night. This made cutting a breeze! 

The slices were pretty small so I had two.

It actually toasted up quite nice and I just used a bit of butter on this bread rather than my usual peanut butter. 

Now for the taste test.... I have to say I enjoyed it, however there wasn't much depth of flavour. When first you bit into it the flavour is good but it kind of fell flat after that. 

But for a loaf with very few ingredients I was impressed! 

Not sure I would buy this one again but you never know!

Last up I'm reviewing Flourless Sprouted Whole Grain Ezekiel Muffins.  These are an english muffin with MUCH better ingredients in them, see what I think of them here!
