Healthy Banana Pancakes

There's nothing better than a plate of warm pancakes to start off your morning. However, most times pancakes are full of sugar and starch- therefore leaving you feeling sluggish and often tired. This delicious pancake recipe is healthy and only consists of 2 ingredients - eggs and bananas! The consistency is that of a crepe, however the pancake flavor is still there, leaving you full and satisfied, and healthy as well.

I made this to feed my boyfriend I, and we each had about 3 large pancakes, so if you're cooking for one or more than two then feel free to change the recipe a bit.

Ingredients:

- 3 ripe bananas

- 4 eggs

- 2 egg whites

- Dash of cinnamon

Directions:

- In a blender, blend the bananas and eggs together and top off with cinnamon for taste

- In a large pan at medium heat, coat with coconut oil or cooking spray and drop the batter into the pan

- Let sit for a few minutes and then flip to the other side for a few more minutes

- Once done, set on a plate and start the next pancake!

I topped mine with a drizzle of honey and a side of berries and yogurt!

Enjoy!

Avocado Pesto

Don't you just love pesto? I don't know what it is- the fresh basil taste, the nutty flavor from the pine nuts, or the creaminess texture... Whatever it is, I'm not complaining! What I do wish it was was a litttttle healthier for you (it's packed with calories and fat).

This avocado pesto recipe is a great alternative that will satisfy any pesto craving without sacrificing the flavor. Plus, it's so fresh and is full of essential healthy fat!

Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 1 avocado
- 1 lemon
- Fresh basil (as much or as little as you want. I personally love basil so I kept adding in more)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 cup of pine nuts

*You will also need a food processor

Directions:
- Put all ingredients in the food processor and blend until it reaches the consistency you desire

I mixed mine in with spaghetti squash and grilled vegetables and it was delicious!

- Mixture of fresh berries

I filled my crepe with a little bit of almond butter, the fruit yogurt, bananas, and my home made granola and topped it off with fresh berries on the side!
