Blueberry Mornings

Today is going to be oppressively hot, so I thought what better way to start the day than with a delicious smoothie. Have I mentioned before that the Magic Bullet blender is my best friend in the world? On average, I have 2 smoothies a day. The first is usually a fruity/proteiny blend and the second is ALWAYS a green smoothie of some kind.

This morning's deliciousness consisted of 1 cup of Blue Diamond's Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (a new obsession of mine), 4 frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup of blueberries, and a small banana. It was pure, clean, perfection. I drank it alongside one of the banana muffins I made yesterday, another clean food (recipe below).

I hope you're all staying cool today!

Eat-Clean Banana Muffins

RECIPE:
2/3 cup Agave Nectar
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup egg substitute
3 ripe bananas
1 teaspoon almond milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners

Cream the Agave Nectar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg substitute

In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the almond milk and cinnamon. 

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. 

Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.

Pour batter into prepared muffin tins and bake 15-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

ENJOY
