Greek Dark Chocolate Frozen Yogurt!

Who doesn't love froyo? Surprisingly, it's really easy to healthify, and totally delicious too!

Ingredients:
1 serving of 0% greek yogurt (I use Oikos)
1 tablespoon of Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa Powder
1 tablespoon of Truvia (or 2 packets of sweetner)

Directions:
Freeze the greek yogurt over night. When you are ready to eat it, heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds, then blend in a food processor (NOT a blender) with the Truvia and Dark Cocoa Powder until creamy, and then you eat it! :) Surprisingly, the food processor works MUCH better than a blender, it gives it that rich a creamy texture. Now go make some froyo! ;)

A healthy pre-workout (or anytime) snack!

This is a very simple recipe, but it is very fueling and filling, so I decided to share.

Ingredients:
-1 small low carb tortilla
-1 banana
-1 tablespoon of coconut peanut butter (like the kind by earth balance) You can use regular, or sub for any other nut butter, but coconut peanut butter is my favorite.

Directions:
Spread the peanut butter (or other nut butter) onto the tortilla. Then set the banana on it, and roll the tortilla up around the banana. Enjoy!

I'm a little odd, and so I like to cut mine up and freeze it. I just love frozen things!
Also a good treat to share wih your dogs, I know all mine LOVE this!

Melting Bananas!

Melting a banana is super easy, and the melted banana can be added to almost anything as a natural sweetner! Pancakes, oatmeal, you name it!

Ingredients:
Banana!

All you do is chop the banana up, stick it in a mug, and heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for 45 more seconds. Then you add it to whatever you want! :)

Strawberry Lime Water

Okay, you've got to try this now. I try to drink lots of water, and this drink helps me a TON. Cause I mean, come on, plain old water can get kinda boring.

Ingredients:
Water (enough to fill a pitcher)
1/2 of a cup of Truvia
Frozen Strawberries (about 50 strawberries) sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges

Put strawberries, Truvia, and lime into a pitcher, and fill up with water! Let sit in the fridge for a few hours and ENJOY!

The drink is 0 calories, unless you eat the strawberries (like I do), which is perfectly okay! :) You can freeze strawberries yourself, or buy a package of frozen strawberries. Make sure they are frozen, otherwise they come apart in the water.
