Vitalicious Chocolate-Banana Marbled Brownie Cake – Video Post
Last weekend the Little Guy and I had a BLAST experimenting with some Vitalicious mixes. The idea. . . marble together the brownie mix with the banana nut muffin mix. The result… DELICIOUS! Not only did the husband and the toddler think so but I brought half of the cake to work and it was DEVOURED by my co-workers. Read more
Makin’ Whole Wheat Banana Muffins
Little guy, friends and I make an old favorite of ours, 100% Whole Wheat Banana Muffins. As I say in the video, this is one of the first recipes I posted here on GreenLiteBites. It’s a completely homemade, whole grain, sugarless, muffin that’s high in fiber and low fat. Plus it’s super easy and pretty fast. Even with juggling a 4 year old, batman and power rangers I get the batter completed in 20 minutes while recording. Not too bad. :) Read more
Simple Homemade Blueberry Banana Pancakes
This is really a recipe reboot. Almost 2 years ago I whipped up my first ever batch of Quick Whole Grain Banana Pancakes. Since then we’ve made them a billion times. No. Really. I’m not exaggerating at all! OK, maybe I am. A little. But seriously.. this is one of our morning go to’s and it’s quick enough to do on a workday. The leftovers (if there are any) are easily thrown in the freezer and popped in the microwave for an even quicker breakfast when you are on the run.
Dark Chocolate Banana Dipping Sauce
I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL STRAWBERRY SEASON!
Sorry, I’m a little excited. I whipped up this chocolate dipping sauce as an experiment for my waffles this morning and it came out better then I expected. It will be awesome as a dip for strawberries. Here’s the story. . .
Wild For Blueberries – Vitamuffin BlueBran Muffins
Happy New Year’s Eve!
Yesterday the little guy and I had some fun sharing our tips on how to include frozen wild blueberries in your diet while making pancakes and blueberry muffins.
Chocolate Banana and Blueberry Breakfast Bowl – Cereal Optional :)
I’ve been on a frozen wild blueberry kick after discovering my local Costco’s sells them in bulk. Most mornings the little guy and I pour our cereal, load it up with frozen blueberries and enjoy breakfast together. It’s becoming a nice morning habit.
We mix it up now and then. Types of cereal, adding banana, alternating between milks, sometimes skim, sometimes almond and sometimes my new favorite, light chocolate soy. Read more
Pumpkin Pancakes
I’ve been making these things for weeks now and I can’t remember what inspired me the first time around. I think it was because I wanted to make banana pancakes but I didn’t have any bananas. I glanced over at our Halloween pumpkins and der…. why haven’t I thought of this before?!?
Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes
Let me first say this idea only hit me because of our recent influx of fruit. :) I had a slow morning as the little guy had a doctors appointment. So I got to chill a bit instead of rushing in to beat traffic.
So I took the idea behind my quick banana pancakes and gave apple a try. I was pleasantly surprised how they came out. Really Moist and fluffy! But honestly, I wish they tasted a bit more "apple-y" (is that a word?) Next time I may add another apple and double the cinnamon but overall this should give you a good starting point for your own experiments. Read more
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Thank the child for this video/idea. It was all him. I swear! lol
Watermelon Banana Split
Sorry, I’ve been sitting on this idea all week trying to find time to simply post! But I won’t bore you with crazy life busy stories. :) Here’s the deal…
This past weekend after a long run (I’m training for a marathon) I wanted, I was craving, fruit. Thankfully we just went shopping so I had lots of options. :) Read more
Simple Thick Chocolate Oatmeal with Almonds
Did you know yesterday was Milk Chocolate Day? yeah.. me either. If I did I would have consumed more of the best stuff on earth. :) I actually had no chocolate on hand so I celebrated by making a simple yet super tasty breakfast!
This is one of those "why-didn’t-I-think-of-this-before" ideas. I’m a big fan of light chocolate soy milk. It has a strikingly similar nutritional profile as regular old skim milk only better because it has CHOCOLATE in it. :) Read more
Makin’ Oatmeal Cups
It’s been awhile since we did a breakfast video so I figured, why not? This morning we made a half a batch of Banana Oatmeal Cups with Chocolate Chips using a few substitutes to compensate for my lack of ingredients.
