As I continue to explore my health goals with Genuine Health, I am excited to see the sun shinning with Summer around the corner. What a lot of us think when it comes to protein powder is that we are restricted to delicious green smoothies. As you would have seen with our fermented vegan proteins+ recipes, that simply isn’t the case. Just in time for the summer months, I’ve created something sweet for you that will help to keep you on track with your health goals while indulging in something delicious. The best of both worlds to help you #LoveHowYouFeel & #LoveYourGut with me!
You’ll remember that we told you about fermented Greek yogurt proteins+ earlier this month, (click here to learn about the health benefits and why we are loving the ability to incorporate dairy into our diets in a healthy way). To help understand the versatility of the product, and with the help of Catherine, I created a sweet treat recipe for the summer that you’ll simply fall in love with!
- 4 bananas, peeled and frozen
- 1 scoop of fermented Greek yogurt proteins+
- 1/2 cup of your favourite Greek yogurt
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Sauce
- 1/2 dark chocolate pieces
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
- Peel bananas and freeze overnight. Fun fact is that I do this regularly for my Genuine Health morning smoothies already so that they last longer and are ready to throw in the Vitamix!
- In a blender combine bananas, fermented Greek yogurt proteins+ and Greek yogurt.
- Blend until smooth, or if you're like me, until mostly smooth. (I love having small pieces of banana mixed into my creamy treat!)
- Place in bowl back into freezer.
- Over a sauce pan of boiling water, combine dark chocolate, coconut oil and peanut butter. Stir continuously until smooth. If you feel like treating yourself, use a sugar cone (health is all about moderation) and scoop ice cream into cone. Drizzle with Peanut Butter Chocolate sauce and enjoy!
- For even MORE added health benefits, you can also add a scoop of coffee greens+ into the sauce which will add a yummy mocha taste to the sauce and increase the health benefits of this treat that will satisfy the whole family!
- It's important to note that since there are no added preservatives or sugars added that this treat should be enjoyed right away and will not keep for more than 24 hours. Since it's so easy to make, it's best to enjoy it right away and get out to enjoy a beautiful day in the sun!
At the end of the day, staying healthy doesn’t have to be boring. Recipes and experimenting with the new fermented Greek yogurt proteins+ is a great way to keep your body happy, healthy and the best it can be!
