You're absolutely right, it's time to hop back on the blogwagon!! For the past few weeks at school, I've really enjoyed steering away from a lot of bread and dairy. I know that I did that sophomore year of college, but it's sort of feeling like a good time for me to adjust to it again. I'm not cutting them out completely, you KNOW I love my sandwiches and brunches, but I want to cut down. Ya feel?
My diet has been a ton of fruits and vegetables, soups, and proteins. My chef here in the Kappa house makes the absolute best food, and I'm sure you've seen a bit of it on the "Whatpattymakes" Instagram handle I created for her! Willpower is hard, but I want to look my best for when I graduate and enter the real world.
However, that doesn't mean I don't want to treat myself. Tonight, courtesy of stalking too many health Instagrams, I came across something called "banana nice cream". This merely entails taking frozen bananas, a bit of almond milk, and maybe some extra fruits and sticking them in a fruit processor. The results should turn out ice cream-like. Unfortunately for me, living in a sorority house, we don't have a food processor. Luckily, we have a blender.
Because the banana was super frozen and the blender was not particularly strong, I had to add more almond milk than I would have liked. The results were a bit soup-like, and so I created a smoothie bowl. I also added strawberries to the mix, and topped it off with a bit of cacao pieces. Overall, not a bad first attempt!
This is the Kappa fruit salad; I picked out all of the Strawberries for my dessert! Definitely munched watermelon, grapes, and pineapple during the process though...
WHOOP THERE IT IS!!! Agreeably, not anything like ice cream. Think more along the lines of a "smoothie bowl," which is totally all the rage right now anyways.
Hope you're at least kind of impressed!
Love you,
Lara
