Hello and Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dads out there, especially mine!
Wish I could be with you today dad, but I’ll be seeing you in just a few weeks!
When I popped into the health food store in my town last Friday, I left with a couple of goodies, including this flavor from Peanut Butter & Co:
Peanut butter blended with honey? Yes please.
I also nabbed a couple of speckled bananas. Even though they were about to be too ripe, bananas are a staple in my house so I figured I’d grab a few anyways. As I was walking out, the man working at the store asked me if I wanted to take more bananas for free, since they were going to go bad soon. I obviously couldn’t turn down free produce or let them go to waste, so it’s been a weekend full of banana eats.
I put most of the bananas in the freezer, but used a bunch of fresh ones to make dark chocolate chip banana bread:
And then, when I came home from a gorgeous bike ride through the countryside yesterday…
…I had visions of a frozen banana bowl in my head. I blended a bit of my new peanut butter with frozen banana, chia seeds, cinnamon, almond milk, and a bit of stevia sweetener, then drizzled it with honey. It was quite the sweet frozen treat!
Exact ingredients in the mix:
- 1 1/2 frozen bananas
- 1 TBSP of The Bee’s Knees peanut butter
- 2 TSP chia seeds
- 1/4 TSP cinnamon
- 1/2 TSP stevia sweetener (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus a smidge more to adjust texture
- 2 TSP honey
Yum!
I’m off to clean my house then have some fun. Have a great rest of your Sunday!

Oh it is! I’ve gone there a bunch of times now and it’s always so serene and peaceful — a great place to clear your head, enjoy the beauty of nature and sweat!
