21 Day Fix Banana Mousse


This quick banana mousse recipe makes an unbelievably satisfying dessert or snack. Whipped bananas have a light and creamy texture that can be made into a sweet tooth-satisfying dessert that packs wholesome nutrition. 
Sweetened with honey and vanilla extract, then mixed with yogurt, this banana mousse tastes like a light and fluffy pudding. With only 79 calories per serving, you can even eat it for breakfast!




I was inspired by a post I saw on the beachbody site and decided to give it a try with my own modifications.  The photos below show two portions in each mason jar but even at that it would only count as 1 fruit and 1 red container if your following the 21 day fix so it really does make for a nice treat!  If you really want to keep it on track you could leave out the honey and allow the bananas to be the only sweetness.  

I could even see freezing this for a frozen treat in the summer time.  Although with the weather we have been having lately I could be freezing it now!  I even got out on the Paddle board on Monday evening and Asher was given an early birthday gift (a Kayak) so he came along with me!  I really hope this weather sticks around a while so that we can enjoy some more time on the lake once all the Pace shows are done!  



We have been back and forth to the theater for weeks with rehearsals and shows and this will be our last week of the spring shows!  Once it's over I'll have to whip up another batch of this for the kids and let them top it with whatever the like!  You can dress up this dessert with fresh berries, sliced grapes, cacao nibs, or a sprinkling of orange zest.  Really you can get creative and top it with anything you could think of!

Clean Eating Apple Crisp


I don't know why but Roast Dinner and Apple Crisp just go together!

I made a Pot Roast for dinner tonight and once it was prepped and in the oven; next came the Apple Crisp.  I decided to switch up my Apple Crisp recipe this time and give it a little twist by adding in some ground pecans and maple sugar instead of my usual Coconut palm sugar.  Plus I used coconut oil instead of butter which I have done before and it works out very nicely.

Clean Eating Apple Crisp

Crumble Topping

1/4 cup ground pecans
1/4 Cup Maple Sugar or Coconut Palm Sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon to taste
1 Tsp sea Salt
2 1/2 cups rolled Oats
3/4 cup Coconut Oil

Ground Pecans

Apple Filling

3 large apples peeled and chopped into cubes
2 Tbsp Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon

Apple filling with Maple Syrup and Cinnamon

Directions


  • Grind the Pecans in a food processor or blender.
  • Add the maple sugar, cinnamon, salt and rolled oats into the food processor and pulse a few times to break down the rolled oats slightly.

Coconut Cream



Coconut Cream is SOOOOO GOOD!

It's so easy to make and everyone in our house just loves it.  I personally don't like whip cream all that much but I sure do love coconut cream.  So much flavour.

Ingredients

1 can coconut milk chilled
2 Tbsp Honey

1. You have to make sure to chill the can of coconut milk in the fridge for at least 24 hours so that it separates and you can easily scrape the white part away from the water. 

If you can try to find this brand I have had the best
success for far with it.  Trust me I've tried all the
brands in our local stores and this one has the
most cream.
Hint: Do Not get low fat coconut milk.  It will not work for this recipe. 

2. Once chilled, all you have to do is open the can, scrape out all the white stuff and put it in a bowl or mixer. 


This is what your coconut milk will look like
after you have chilled it and opened the can. 
After you have scooped out ALL the cream
you will see a small amount of coconut water
that has separated at the bottom. 

3. Then mix on high until creamy.  Drizzle in some honey to add sweetness and mix it a little bit longer.

Look at all that CREAM!!!
Now mix is all up with the honey
until it's nice and smooth!


Then your done!

4. Use your coconut cream to top all your favourite desserts or just put some on a bowl of fresh fruit for a healthy snack!  

Asher enjoyed his on top and Apple pie!
