This combo of popcorn and peanuts makes a filling and nutritious treat while the caramel satisfies your sweet tooth. Grocery store versions are notoriously bland and not worth the calories. But many home concoctions leave you with a gooey, stick in your teeth, mess. This version is buttery and sweet with a satisfying crunch!
Full of protein and electrolytes, these little treats are excellent for post workout, post yard work, or anytime you need a nutrition boost. Rescue those spotted bananas from becoming compost! Using a ratio of 2 tablespoons of peanut butter to 1 banana, you can even save just a few.
A refreshing vegan treat for hot summer days. Try it as a cocktail and top with an acidic semi-dry sparkling wine! Or add extra sugar for a dessert reminiscent of key lime pie.
Bananas are cloying, lack character, and are an all-around disappointment of a fruit… At least that’s what I used to think until I stopped seeing them as a snack and started thinking of them as a sweetener. The internet is abound with recipes for banana ice cream, which consist of nothing more than pureed bananas. I want a scoop of frozen banana about as much as I want a scoop of frozen honey. But the banana’s weakness as a star can also be its strength as a supporting actor. Its abundance of sugar and pectin add plush and sweetness to more acidic fruits and create a nice scoop without added sugar or fat.
Truffle infused olive oil pairs with buttermilk for a tangy, creamy profile. Depending on how strongly flavored your olive oil is, you may want to use about half truffle olive oil to half regular. And while the truffle note imparts a more complex, unexpected flavor, this recipe tastes great with regular olive oil too.
Before hitting the trails, pack up this protein rich snack to go. Or keep it at your desk for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
