Guilt-Free Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

Hey there health-nuggets! 

Now that it is finally warm and sunny outside I have been craving ice cream like crazy! Since eating full-fat Italian ice cream is definitely not the most figure-friendly thing to do, I have created my own dairy-free and sugar-free ice cream recipe which tastes as good (if not even better!) than the real thing! 

Here is my 100% guilt-free take on ice cream this summer:

What you will need:

• 2 frozen bananas (chop them up and leave in the freezer overnight)
• 100 g frozen strawberries (for a touch of pink)
• 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I like Optimum Nutrition brand best)
• 200 ml soy milk (can use more or less depending on how thick you like it)
• optional: a handful of 100% raw cacao nibs for added crunchiness

What next? 

Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth, put on some sunnies, go outside and enjoy every mouthful of this yummy goodness!

Blueberry & Bee Pollen Post-Workout Boost

Hey there health-nuggets!

It's been a while since my last post... nevertheless I'm back with a new smoothie recipe that I came up with this morning. I went for a lovely 5km run along the river right after waking up and this is how I treated myself afterwards! 

This post-workout smoothie has everything you need to replenish your body after a workout - natural sugars and fiber from the berries, protein for muscle recovery and an extra dose of anti-oxidants from bee pollen. 

What you will need:

• 350 g frozen blueberries
• a handful of fresh strawberries
• 250 ml light almond milk
• 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition 100% whey vanilla protein powder
• 15 organic raw cacao nibs
• 1 tsp of bee pollen

Blend all of the ingredients until the consistency is smooth. Sprinkle with some bee pollen and your quick post-workout breakfast fix is ready!
