Chocolate-Covered Katie came up with this great idea of mixing peanut butter and bananas to make a deelish Banana Butter! Adding the banana makes an amazingly spreadable and much lower calorie butter. You can make it thinner or thicker depending on the amount of nut butter you use. This recipe is so simple yet so super enjoyable!
I know this would be great with any nut butter but because I had just “made” my deelish Agave Pecan Butter I thought this was perfect time to use it. The butter was the perfect dip! We enjoyed this with apples and with pita chips as well. So creamy and sooo deelish!!
Katie, I totally want to be a member of your band 🙂 This is so fabulous!!!!
Chocolate-Covered Katie’s Banana Butter
Makes about 1.5 cups
- 2 bananas
- 8 tablespoons of nut butter
Super simple…. just blend together and enjoy!

I have been loving quinoa lately! I have always loved it but with the addition of breakfast to my diet I have been eating so much more of it lately. My mom was so awesome and picked me up this amazing 4 pound bag of quinoa from Costco. Thanks Mom!
If you have seen my other posts I have been loving quinoa for breakfast! Check out my Quinoa “Oatmeal” and Quinoa Apple Oatmeal.
Here is another take on Quinoa and Apples. I added more apples this time which made it that much more tastier.
Apple Quinoa Breakfast Cereal
6 Servings
2 cups quinoa
5 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 apples diced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup maple syrup
Bring quinoa, apples, salt and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cooked, about 15 minutes. Add cinnamon and sweeteners, stir and Enjoy.

Sometimes while making a recipe in your head it doesn’t always come out as planned. But sometimes you are left with a welcome surprise. That is how I came up with the Agave Pecan Butter. It is a great, super smooth spread and still raw! You don’t often see super smooth raw spreads and this one is a good one. I wish all mistakes were this successful haha! Of course if you want less butter half or quarter the ingredients. This is a great dip for apples or substiute for any nut butter.
Agave Pecan Butter Surprise
3 cups Pecans
1/4 cups Agave
1/2 cups Water
dash of celtic sea salt
Blend the pecans till a fine flour and then until it forms a butter. Add the agave, water and salt and continue processing until smooth and deeelish!

Another great breakfast recipe! I love this one. The combo of oatmeal, my favorite quinoa, apples and raisins make this a real winner!! The apples are cooked and so soft and good! The raisins become plump and juicy when cooked. So good!! I put all the servings into 1/4 pound containers to have meals for the whole week!
Quinoa Apple Oatmeal
5 servings
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup quinoa
1/2 raisins
3 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup almond milk (You can just use all water and skip this if you want)
1 apple diced
cinnamon to taste
2 tablespoons agave
4 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Combine all the ingredients, except the sweetener in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until your breakfast is ready. Add the sweetners of your choice and Enjoy 🙂

Another breakfast treat 🙂 I had to call this munchy cereal because if you are like me you will have a hard time leaving this one just for breakfast. It is so good!!! It is also deelish without the dehydrator as well. I am sure you good sprinkle this on top of yogurt for a great treat or eat it plain with almond milk or just munch on it on its own. This is such a great combo of sweet, salty, crunchy and chewy! mmmmm
Pre-Dehydrator Munchies
After the dehyrator and ready to munch 🙂
Chocolate Coconut Munchy Cereal
4 cups of dried coconut
1/3 cup of cocao nibs
1 teaspoon of celtic sea salt
1/2 cup of honey or agave
1/4 cup of pitted dates
In a food processor combine the dried coconut, cocao nibs and sea salt. Process until fine. Add the honey and dates and process until well combined. Empty the processor onto a teflex dehydrator sheet and dry at 115 degrees for 12-15 hours.

When I make corn chips I normally do not make them so smoothly pureed but I thought this would be fun. These are so good and they are essentially just corn and jalapeno! How awesome is that! I started out with 2 sheets but we ate the first one as soon as they were done 🙂 I also normally score my chips but these we just broke into pieces. So simple and so good. This is such a great snack.
After you take it out, just break into pieces and ENJOY 🙂
Raw Just Corn Chips
4 cups frozen and thawed corn
2 jalapeno pepper, deseeded
2 tsp salt
1/2-1 cup water
In a Vita-mix or blender puree corn, pepper and salt adding water as needed.
Spread onto teflex dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for 8-12 hours. Once it is no longer sticking to the sheets flip over and dry the other side for 4 hours more. Break into pieces and enjoy!

I had read Sarma’s post on banana milk and thought it was pure genius!! I figured I could sweeten my almond milk the same way. I normally use sweeteners like agave and honey, but I loved how simple it was to sweeten this pudding with just dates and bananas. So fabulous! I have to tell you this was one of my Favorite Chia Puddings ever! SOOO GOOD! Breakfast is such a good meal!! Now that I am fully hooked I wonder how I ever lived without it 🙂
Love this Breakfast!!
Banana Date Chia Pudding
serves 3-4
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups almond milk
2 bananas
5 dates, pitted
a few dashes cinnamon
a pinch of salt
Place the chia seeds in a bowl. In a Vita-mix blend together the almond milk, bananas, dates, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture over the chia seeds and whisk together with a fork. Let it sit for 10 minutes in the fridge and then whisk again to get rid of any clumps. Cover and set in the fridge overnight. In the morning whisk one more time and then enjoy!! Yum Breakfast!!!!
I looked up the nutrition stats again 🙂 I hope this helps out!

As I told you last week my new addition to my diet is Breakfast and I am LOVING it!!! I plan to switch it up every week and try something new. This is a cooked breakfast and it was so good! I love quinoa but I don’t think it is ever thought about as a breakfast food. I thought that this super-grain would be great sweet and hot in the morning and I was right 🙂 So good and super nutritious. Love it!
Quinoa “Oatmeal”
serves 3
1 cup quinoa
1 cup almond milk
1 cup water
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons agave
Rinse the quinoa and add to saucepan with water and almond milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the dried cranberries and cinnamon and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the agave. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
I can’t promise to do this for ever recipe but I looked up the nutrition stats for this breakfast. 🙂
