Simple Paleo Banana Muffins

 

 

Simple Paleo Banana Bread (Muffins)

 

So, I turned my paleo banana bread recipe into a muffin recipe and it was a hit!

The muffins are dense, filling and well, delicious! The recipe is simple and the muffins (with the prep time included), can be made in less than 1 1/2 hours.

 

Recipe:

3 over ripe bananas

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1-2T honey

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

2 cups almond flour (or almond meal)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

 

Directions:

1.Combine the bananas, eggs, vanilla, honey and coconut oil into a bowl and blend them into a puree or place the ingredients into a food processor (I have used my NutriBullet at times) to create a puree.

2. Add the flour, salt and baking soda into the puree, mix until all the ingredients are well blended.

3. Pour the mixture into (a coconut oil greased) muffin pan.

4. Bake at 350 for 50-55minutes.

 

And...

That's it! You now, have breakfast or snacks for days with one simple recipe! I am a huge fan, of making my meal prep efficient and these paleo banana muffins are a yummy efficient favorite of mine!

 

If you have any questions, let me know, otherwise...Happy Meal Prep Monday!

 

If we don't plan, we plan to fail...and with the holidays amongst us, planning is key in keeping our nutrition on track!

Mini Facial Regimen

 

R+F Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste || R+F Redefine Night Renewing Serum ||

 R+F Redefine Lip Renewing Serum

 

So I get a lot of questions on how I keep my skin so smooth and fresh looking. My first response is that I make it a priority and that I am a total review reader. Not too long ago I was looking to enhance my skin care regimen. I wanted to make sure I was catching that aging process early on! UGH! I started doing some research on products and trying some different aging/night creams out.  Just so happened, that my girlfriend actually ended up approaching me about Rodan + Fields around the same time.  I am so thankful because I am in love with these products! What's with spoons? My Mom taught me at a young age to freeze two spoons and place them on your eyes to help with puffiness. So while I am letting my Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste set (as I leave it on a little longer than suggested) I apply the spoons to my eyes.

So here's my "mini facial" bedtime skin care regimen...

Three out of the seven days of the week I use Enhancement Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. The oil-free formula is so light on my skin. The exfoliating elements are super gentle leaving my skin feeling tone and smooth every time. When I first used the micro-dermabrasion paste, this was a pleasant surprise to me as I was expecting a heavy, rough paste. You know where the beads actually can hurt and get stuck in your eyes sometimes. (Just me?)

Next, I apply Redefine Night Renewing Serum. While I sleep this stuff works on all my imperfections! I love the feeling of waking up to nourished skin! Moisturizing is key in the anti-aging department. I know it has to be working because of how fresh, bright and smooth my skin looks every morning.

Lastly, I apply Redefine Lip Renewing Serum. Even if my lips aren't as big as Kylie's I still want to take care of them! I am a huge bedtime lip moisturizing person. You could have found Aquaphor, Burt's Bees, or Coconut Oil on my night stand table any day.  Just like the rest of my skin, I want my lips to feel rejuvenated in the morning. Well, my bedside table may still have some Aquaphor on it but this lip renewing serum has replaced everything else. Not only do my lips feel nourished, the aging process has decreased with the use of it, so yeah...this is a new favorite of mine!

I hope my updated routine helps solve any skin care solutions you may be looking for. There's no better time to update your skin care routine than in the colder months!
