Dark Chocolate Banana Chips
September 19, 2017
Want to put yourself into a better mood? I think by now most of us have heard that chocolate is a great mood enhancer. For years, it’s been known that chocolate does more than just taste good, it can actually do the body good.
Cocoa boosts serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for maintaining a balanced mood and feeling of well-being. It stimulates the happy-making parts of your brain!

Have you tried cooking with carob?
We love chocolate, there's no hiding that.

Remember eating those delicious chocolate covered banana "monkey tails" as a kid? Those were the best.
Bananas have always been my favorite fruit, but I'm not the only one crazy about bananas anymore. The adorable minions of Despicable Me are all about them, too!
Chocolate Banana Peanut Cookies Recipe

To this day, one of my favorite breakfasts is toast slathered with peanut butter and topped with banana slices. It's a perfect little meal or snack, and the flavors combine perfectly.
The ingredients in these cookies - the banana, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and peanuts - also combine perfectly. If you ask me, they're an excellent choice for sack lunches, because they're sweet, savory and will fill you up. And they're so easy, you could whip them up on a school night!

Is there anything that chocolate doesn't pair well with? Of all the things chocolate lovers love pairing with their desserts, banana is one of my very favorites. In fact, the best dessert I ever had was a big dish of banana and Nutella crepes. Talk about delicious!
Banana Mocha Ice Cream
May 21, 2014
Double Dutch used to be my favorite ice cream growing up. Rocky Road followed suit. I wasn't crazy about straight vanilla until I was in my teenage years. Now, I'd prefer it over Double Dutch any day of the week. Rocky Road, and any chocolate-heavy ice cream, for that matter, will always be at the top of the list.
Mocha is a different story. Mocha, to me, is coffee with some cocoa in it. Coffee and chocolate will always go together like salt and pepper or peanut butter and jelly. These two flavors combined are phenomenal to me.
Peanut Butter Banana Brownie Pizza

Pizza, along with cheeseburgers, is my weakness. However bad it is, it's still pretty good! Haha but since chocolate is our superstar, we might as well roll them into one.
Sweet treats are everywhere, and they never fail to sweep people off their feet. We just can't get enough of it that even savory dishes, like pizza, have their chocolate-y counterparts.
Instead of using vegetables to make the pizza filling and topping, you go for sweet ingredients. The young ones will surely have a blast!

New Year almost always comes with new hope, at least for most of us. Some people think New Year's resolutions are ridiculous, while others believe these give them a clean slate. With such, they get to have a fresh new start on whatever aspect of their lives it could be. Among the things that many people want to change every start of the year is their diet.
We all know how crazy our food choices could get during the Holidays, and it never fails to make many of us feel guilty and anxious come January, when their weight starts shooting up. Many of us opt for detoxification, and this recipe might come in handy since you wouldn’t want to deprive yourself of your sweet-tooth cravings. Of course, moderation is key.

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies

Cookies can be many things to many people. They can be a daily treat or an occasional guilty pleasure. They can be a midnight snack staple just before you hit the sheets. They can be your go-to food during unannounced visits from friends. They can be practically anything you want them to be. It gets all the better when you throw nutritious stuff into the picture.
A banana can be a delectable dessert all its own since it is sweet by nature. Aside from being delicious, bananas are known for their substantial health benefits. They contain high levels of potassium, fiber, and essential vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin A.
On the other hand, oatmeal makes a wise choice too when you’re rooting for nutritional content. It’s particularly good for the heart. It’s also proven to lower cholesterol and stabilize sugar in the blood, and also, it can basically boost the immune system.
