The easiest and most delicious banana bread you need to make! Only 5 ingredients and minimal dishes to clean afterwards. I made ours Gluten free and dairy free.




​
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (certified GF oats if needed)
1/2 tsp baking soda
2-3 over ripe bananas (or more if they are small)
2 eggs
3-5 Tbsp Maple Syrup
Chocolate Chips or Nuts as desired (maybe even some pumpkin spice)

Directions (Preheat oven to 350* F)
1. Blend oats and baking soda in blender until it makes a flour. Transfer flour to mixing bowl. 
2. Blend bananas, eggs, and maple syrup until very smooth, Pour over flour and mix well to combine.
3. Fold in chocolate chips if desired (we used Enjoy Life dairy free mega chunks).
4. Bake at 350*F for 40 minutes (or longer depending on your oven) - keep checking for a clean knife after inserting or look for ~195* internal temp. 
5. ENJOY once cooled!

I love to order eggs benedict when eating out for breakfast. I usually have it over hashbrowns instead of on an English muffin. I don't usually make it at home because the Hollandaise sauce never turns out right (until I discovered this blender recipe). 

Poach your eggs when your last set of Zucchini cakes are frying (for best results).

Zucchini Cake Ingredients (makes 4-5 cakes):

• 3 Large Zucchini Shredded
• 1 Extra large egg white
• 2 Tbsp Almond Meal
• 1 tsp Paprika
• Salt & Pepper (to taste)
• 3 Tbsp Butter (to fry in)

Zucchini Cake Directions:

1. Shred Zucchini and dry as best you can. I used my food processor shredding attachment and a clean kitchen towel to ring out the Zucchini. The drier the zucchini the crispier the cakes.
2. Hand mix all the ingredients (besides butter) and form into balls.
3. Fry in butter 3-5 minutes per side. 

Blender Hollandaise Sauce Ingredients:

• 3 Egg Yolks
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1/2 cup Butter melted (add 3/4 tsp salt if butter is unsalted)
• 1/2 tsp Tabasco

Hollandaise Directions:

1. Whip ingredients in blender to consistency desired.
2. Keep warm in double boiler.

Assembly Instructions:

1. Layer Zucchini, Ham, Poached Egg, and top with Hollandaise. 
2. ENJOY!

What better first recipe post than my FAVORITE smoothie?? I have been drinking this smoothie every day for 2 weeks and it is not getting old. I tried a different smoothie two days ago and tossed it out, then made myself this one again. Here is what I put in my blender (in this order):

• 1 rib Celery (chopped)
• 1/2 Red Bell Pepper (quartered)
• 1 Green Apple (cored and quartered)
• 1 Tomato (or even 1/2 can diced tomatoes)
• 1-2 cloves Garlic
• 1 Tbsp chopped Red Onion
• 1 Tbsp Chlorella (I use Nature's way pictured below)
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (or more)
• 20 drops Trace Minerals
• 1 heaping Tbsp Ground Flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp Laird Superfood Jumpstart (pictured below)
• 1-2 cups water or green tea (cooled)
• 1-2 cups spinach or kale (as much as my blender will fit)
• 1/2 cup frozen broccoli (to pack down greens)

I think that I got everything... It really is the best green smoothie you will ever taste. Try it and make it yours today! For a reference of what I buy organic versus conventional go here.
