SATURDAY- BAKE DAY!

BANANA CAKE TIME!

So I'm feeling under the weather (got caught in a thunderstorm during my run saturday) ...... was very cold and got a headache and sore throat = I needed comfort food!

My (trying to be healthy-ish) banana bread:

3 bananas...very ripe!
2 tablespoons brown sugar..... i used less sugar than normal because the bananas were so ripe
2 cups wholemeal flour
2 eggs
dash of milk
1/2 cup low fat olive oil spread

Home made protein bars

Preparing for the week ahead I made these Sunday night to last me the whole week....it's now Thursday and i've run out....thanks to my boyfriend who likes them a little too much!! haha

I've never been caught out or felt hungry.....otherwise i probably would have been defeated and bought chocolate! prepardness is the key to success!!

Homemade Lara Bars

So after I saw them on Tone it Up and Eye It, Try It....I decided to try and make my own Lara bars (they are called Nakd in the UK)

This was my first try: Date, Almond and Pumpkin seed :)

Ingredients:
100g raw almonds
100g pumpkin seeds
300g dates

Method:
whizz the almonds and pumpkin seeds in a blender
Put the grinds aside
Blend the dates
Then add the almoonds and pumpkins seed back in and whizz for a few seconds
Put everything into a bowl and mix with your hands to blend everything into bars
Makes 8

I'm going to take them to work with me each day next week for snacks!

Next time I'll add cinnamon!
