Such a simple idea, only 3 ingredients needed and provides you with a handy snack that is nourishing, quick, tasty AND helps you to use up any overly ripe bananas and spare nuts that are floating about your cupboard.

How is it so creamily guilt free I hear you ask? Well, it comes from frozen, blended banana & some fresh avocado. Now that may sound weird at first but trust me on this one, it works like a charm and you’re getting some great fibre, good fats & potassium in there too which are great for the heart.
Plus the addition of pure cacao powder and cacao nibs means a chocolate flavour without any added sugar, meaning a truly guilt free treat, woohoo! (more…)
These are so, soooooo good!
And even more fabulous when dipped into your fav cuppa tea!😁
The spices in this recipe make it more of a festive one and really complement the orange zest. I also chose to use dried cherries rather than cranberries as I prefer the flavour. Be careful when choosing your fruit as some dried cranberry brands that I’ve seen have more sugar than actual cranberries in them to cover their tart taste and try to avoid the heavily processed glace cherries too.
Once again I just started chucking what ingredients I had spare into my porridge and this beauty came out of it. I mean come on! It’s creamy, warm, thick and has a chocolatey crunch to it, what’s not to like!?
Plus it’s refined sugar free by using a really ripe banana for natural sweetness and cacao products for a choc hit.

I really recommend using the maca if you have it as it gives the dish a rich, malty, almost caramel like flavour to it and really complements the other ingredients.
I know the egg white might seem a bit strange but it helps to make it nice and thick and adds some good, lean protein in there, also a great option if you’ve just done a workout/heading off to the gym.

I love the creaminess of this recipe but it was made even better when I decided to add a bit of protein into the dish, I chose a mix of tahini (ground sesame seeds), nut butter and protein powder which provides protein but also good fat in there too!
