Banana Blueberry Protein Muffins with BodyScience Protein!

Hello everyone!

Yay - it's recipe time!

Here are some yummy Banana Blueberry Protein Muffins I made, using BodyScience products!



Ingredients

  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • Approx. 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 2/3 cup Vanilla BodyScience Body for Women Shaping Protein OR Vanilla BodyScience Hydroxyburn Pro Clinical
  • 1 1/4 cup Almond Meal
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup coconut water
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 170°C/340°F
  2. Combine chia seeds with 3 Tbsp of water and let them soak for 10 - 15 minutes or until it starts to become a gel
  3. Mash the bananas, then stir in the coconut oil, followed by the chia seed gel
  4. Sift in almond meal, protein powder and baking soda and stir until combined
  5. Add coconut water and then stir
  6. Stir in blueberries
  7. Spoon into muffin tray lined with muffin patties and fill 12 muffins
  8. Baked in oven for approx. 25 minutes, or until they become golden on the top - everyones ovens are different so they may need an extra 5 minutes for some people
  9. Leave them to cool - when you take them out of they oven, don't be concerned if they look under cooked in the middle - they will set once they cool.
  10. Enjoy!
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did - they make a great snack to take on the go and are very healthy and have a good protein hit in them! :)

More Food! ;)

Hey hey,

How are ya all going? I've been super stressed out with uni lately, works all starting to pile up and I've got a 2000 word philosophy essay due on Friday... gaaah

But anyway, last week at uni I had an hour off to relax in the sunshine with my jar of apples!
A couple of people eating their hot chips gave me some weird looks, but I think apples in a jar is a great idea! If you're like me and don't like eating apples without cutting them because you know you are wasting more than you eat, cut them up, but em in a jar and squeeze some lemon juice over them (stops them from going brown and keeps the fresh!) and then you have crispy apple pieces to snack on throughout the day - perfect!

The weather in the Southern Hemisphere is getting chillier now so to warm up I love to cut up some sweet potato, sprinkle them with a little sea salt and bake them in the oven at 200 degrees until there soft but slightly crispy. Serve it with a little guac and that's it - yum

Annnnnnd my final food recommendation - zucchini pasta!
It's SO simple to make and tastes wonderful, not to mention is healthy as well and can be enjoyed by both vegans, vegetarians and omnivores a like!
I don't have a fancy spiralizer so I just grate one to one and half zucchinis on the biggest holes on the cheese grater.
The first time I made this I made a sauce by blending together a few sundried tomatoes with some cherry tomatoes and a small clove of garlic and then topped it with the cashew "Sour Cream" that I linked to in my Raw Vegan Taco post
Then the second time I tried something different and made the raw salsa also from the Raw Vegan Taco post and mixed it all together because I loved that dressing, and it went really well and was so gooooood!

Ok I lied I guess that wasn't my final food recommendation but this isn't really a recommendation - just sharing my yummy breakfast.
I picked up VitalGreens powder which contains a kabillion different super things in it to help you achieve your vitamin needs for everyday plus a couple extra super food things. 2 tsps of that with 2 frozen bananas and 200mL coconut water and you've got a fab and easy green smoothie! Paired that with some mixed berry porridge for a great breaky!

That's all from me this time! Have a great week everyone!
