This dip is SO easy AND healthy AND yummy! When you eat this dip on your veggies, you are getting a double punch. You are getting your Complex Carbs AND Protein!
-16 oz Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
-1 packet of hidden valley ranch mix
This is great to keep in the fridge to have a dip for your your raw veggies.
You can also add milk (whatever kind you use) and put in a shaker…and BAM you have a dressing!

ONE Ingredient!!!! Yes…just one and you will not believe how good this is! I was skeptical…but boy did this one shock me!
Your ingredient…
Frozen Banana
Yep that’s it…peel and freeze cut up ripe bananas. You can either do one at a time or make up a batch to dish out throughout the week.
-In a food processor pulse the cut up bananas (this works much better in a food processor than a blender, even better than in a vitamix).
-You will have to scrape the sides a few times to get the bananas down into the blade
-Once it starts changing to a frozen yogurt type consistency it is done
-Put in a dish and refreeze, or you can eat it like soft serve.
It will keep in the freezer for a few days
Top with honey, cinnamon, cacao nibs, etc.
Mix in cacao powder, natural peanut butter, slivered almonds, etc.
Be creative!
I would LOVE to hear from you and what your favorite add in is.

Jennie B’s Homemade Granola
2 cups Old Fashion Oats
3/4 cup Nuts & Seeds gently chopped (My favorite is Walnuts, Pecans & Almonds)
1/2 cup Dried Fruit (I like raisins, but be sure they are organic as raisins contain a lot of pesticides)
1/4 Raw Unsweetened Coconut
4 Tbs Raw Local Honey
3 tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tbs Coconut oil (melted)
Combine all ingredients using your hands. Spread out on jelly roll pan.
Bake @ 300 for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to check it every 5 minutes and stir. After 10 minutes check it every minute, it will over bake very quickly. One good indicator that it is done is when the raisins start to swell. As it cools it will get harder.
When you pull it out of the oven add 1/8-1/4 tsp of powdered stevia.
Enjoy! Please let me know how you like it!

JUST THREE INGREDIENTS!!!
1 cup ANY chopped up nuts and/or seeds
5-6 dates (remove the pit)
1/3 cup of dried fruit
In a food processor, pulse dates and dried fruit
Add ground up nuts and mix well
Spread out on pan. I put some coconut oil on my hands to press down. It can be a little hard. Cut into bars and store in the refrigerator. Another way of doing these is to just roll into balls! Much easier, just not as pretty!
You can add a little cacao, coconut, oats, cacao nibs, etc. Make them to your liking!
I also like to mix up my nuts. Almonds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, etc. Just make sure it all equals 1 cup.
These little rascals are SO good to have on hand for a snack or to grab on the go!
2 cups oats
1 cup nut butter
1/2-1 cup any kind of ground nuts or seeds
1 cup ground flax seed
1 cup dark chocolate chips/cacao nibs (70%)
2/3 cups honey (local and raw)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Mix all together and form into balls.
Store in refrigerator and enjoy!
Our Neighbor brought these to us one Christmas! They are SO good! They also freeze great!
I make up a batch and freeze more than half to have when I need something quick.
