Spicing up Breakfast

I have decided to dive into my GAPS Diet book again. I am excited about this!




This morning I made "Eggless banana mini-muffins." So yummy!

Here is the recipe I used (there are modifications to everything):

• Coconut flour (Organic, Bob's Red Mill)
  
• Gelatine crystals
• Very ripe, smashed bananas
• Coconut oil
• Honey

The consistency is not what we are used to. As a matter of fact it was the consistency of cookie dough. (I believe this is because I used Coconut flour and not Grounded nuts, since I couldn't find them at Raley's yesterday.)

These are wholesome, all natural and healthy mini-muffins, but I made them mini for a reason - they are super high in calories and fat. I tend to worry much less about that now than before, since finding a "great treat" like this for me is so rare!

Even if you do not follow the GAPS Diet or any diet for that matter, I highly recommend trying this recipe out!

ENJOY!

Banana/Coconut-Hemp Smoothie

Day 86.

I made the most wonderful smoothie today. I call it my Banana/Coconut-Hemp Smoothie. Here were the ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp Trader Joe's Vanilla Hemp Protein Powder
• About 1/2 Tbsp Coconut flakes
• 1 packet Stevia
• 1/2 Banana
• Water + ice

It's such a quick and easy "re-fueling" food, too. I had it before my night workout. This hemp protein powder is from Trader Joe's. In 2 Tbsp there are 11 g/fiber! There are barely any ingredients in the hemp powder, so I find it to be the only protein powder I will put into my body. This is what the powder looks like:



Light, fluffy and green. Don't be afraid of the color! For more information on Hemp, click HERE.

I felt pretty good today. I had good energy! My mouth would go in-and-out of being annoyed. It went from a 2/3 to a 6/ today. Odd! My stomach was bloated for a few hours in the early evening. It hurt some to run. Just twisted, that's all. Breathe.....
