Look out! It's another healthy foodie in Dubai blog! Straight-up Bananas is me trying to throw my own healthy twist on well-known recipes, and making up my own not-so-well-known recipes!
That chocolate fondant may look innocent, but inside it’s a molten morsel of naughty chocolate goodness.
Today’s breakfast for 6 is a gigantic stack of my oats and peanut butter pancakes with a creamy peanut butter sauce and some bananas and spread of some weekend breakfast essentials in my book.
I know technically it shouldn’t be breakfast, but it’s their last day in Dubai and we do what we want.
I know this is the best looking post, but this is all that I had time to capture before we devoured the food.
Today’s lunch for 6 was a massive make-your-own-taco table with guacamole, pico de gallo, a thick Mexican tomato soup, grilled corn on the cob smothered in paprika and cheese and so much more!
What did you have for lunch this fine Saturday afternoon?
There’s nothing quite like going to the beach with the full intention on going for a run, but getting sidetracked by @humyum rgag with cheese and Omani chips. Dafuq did I eat? Haha so confusing.
Breakfast this fine Friday morning is healthy peanut butter pancakes, a sweet potato, spinach and feta omelette, banana smoothies and some steaming hot coffee.
This mornings breakfast on the balcony is sautéed baby spinach topped with scrambled eggs and a bit of goats cheese on top of fibre crackers. A little boost of protein to get us through the day. ☺
My garden is in full bloom, and I couldn’t be happier! 🌻🌼🌹🌸
So I’ve got this thing for key lime cakes and lemon curd tarts. I just can’t get enough of them. The sweetness of the crust with the tartness of the filling–oh dear lawdy!
So, in the true spirit of working on my new year’s resolution of being kind to my Temple, taking good care of it and nourishing it well, I give to you this healthy rendition of a key lime tart. It’s quick, easy and healthy. Most importantly, it’s ridiculously easy to make and only needs 6 ingredients. Are you ready to have this tarty beauty in and around your mouth?
Here’s what you’ll need:
½ cup of almond powder (or crush the almonds yourself)
½ of pitted dates
A pinch of sea salt
2 very ripe bananas
The juice of 1 lime
6 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
1 sliced lime
Here’s how it’s done, son:
First, you’ll need to make the crust.
Combine the almond powder, dates, sea salt and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and blitz them in a food processor.
Line a tin with cling film and place the crumbly crust and press the crust into the tin nice and tight.
Combine the bananas, lime juice and another 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a blender and blend till nice and creamy.
Top the crust off with the creamy mixture.
Place sliced lime on top.
Place in freezer for about 3 hours.
Slice and serve.
Yes, it is that easy.
Please go straight-up bananas with me and give this recipe a shot.
It’s easy, quick and healthy. Oh…and did I mention that it tastes like tarty heaven?
