Coconut Banana Mandarin Smoothie

Coconut Banana Mandarin Smoothie

I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have overripe bananas in my kitchen! I try and buy them more on the green side, but they always ripen way too fast! I often make banana bread (check this one out – it is my absolute favourite!), but this time I felt like having…

Frozen Banana Pops

Frozen Banana Pops

I had some leftover bananas that needed to be eaten and I really didn’t want to make banana bread as I didn’t feel like baking. That’s when I remembered that I had seen banana pops all over the internet a while ago. As I didn’t remember the specific site where I had seen them, I…

Pineapple Coconut Banana Smoothie

Pineapple Coconut Banana Smoothie

Smoothies are always a great and healthy afternoon snack idea for kids. My children love them and it is a fantastic way to make them eat some fruits and use up some leftovers too. As a child, I would always ask my mother to make me a Banana and Pear Frullato (the Italian version of…

Banana Basil Jam

BANANA BASIL JAM

Left over bananas.  Why is it that I ALWAYS have left over bananas in my kitchen?  Ah, yes… wait.  It must be because my kids always beg me to buy them when they see them at the grocery store… they promise they will eat them and then, they don’t.  I am not a huge fan…

Double Chocolate Whole Wheat Banana Bread

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD

Today’s recipe came about from another one of my attempts to use up leftovers.  Though I must admit it was a bit more crumbly than I had expected (especially the next day), it still tasted delicious and I thought it would be a pity not to share it with all of you.  Besides, it is…

STRAWBERRY, BANANA AND APPLE SMOOTHIE

I won’t lie… my kids, especially my 5 year old daughter, do not like fruits.  Yes, I know what you are thinking “you are food blogger, and you can’t get your own kids to eat their fruits?!”… ehm… sort of.  But I am working on it and smoothies are a great way to get my…

Banana, Coconut and Passion Fruit Smoothie

BANANA, COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT SMOOTHIE

Lately I have been experimenting quite a bit with smoothies and shakes.  The truth is, I have been left with some ripe fruits that needed to be used and I wanted to make something light and healthy with it.  Besides, I always find that smoothies are a great way to get my fussy children to…

BANANA, PEAR AND GINGER SMOOTHIE – ANOTHER AWARD AND A PIECE OF NEWS

After a delicious but calorie laden sweet, I thought of posting a healthy but just as tasty treat.  This simple and sugar free smoothie used to be my afternoon snack when I was child.  Well, to be honest my mom would not put ginger in it (this is my own twist to the recipe) as…
