Healthy Oaty Choc Chip Banana Bread

Healthy Oaty Choc Chip Banana Bread

I’m a sucker for banana bread. I LOVE it. I have several recipes for different variations, but this is the first flourless one I’ve ever made and I have to say - it might be my favourite. It’s made with Oats instead of flower, making this a filling alternative.

This recipe is super EASY and has only 6 ingredients! It’s also one of those ones where everything gets thrown into a blender, which are always great time savers. This recipe is also bariatric friendly for those 6 months post op (earlier if you are ok with having higher carbs) and low calorie. If you’re watching your protein, add 30g of protein powder to the recipe to up the protein content.

Hot Tip: I do think with this recipe that it is best on day 2 and 3. It holds its shape a little better and the flavours really sink in. It’s mouth wateringly special!!

Apple Crumble Baked Oats

Baked Oats, where have you been all my life. I’ve been making my Blueberry Cheesecake Baked Oats on repeat since sharing the recipe. They were such a hit with you guys, and so naturally I’ve been experimenting with new flavours… and this one takes the cake.

Quite honestly this is like eating apple crumble for breakfast, but with a lot more protein and less sugar. We have so much good stuff going on here - the goodness of oats which are a slow releasing carb, plus banana for potassium, apples and of course protein to help keep you full for longer. Honestly, try it at least once and let me know what you think! Keep in mind these quantities are specifically for meal prep that will last you the week. OR, you can share with your family and get a day or two out of it.

This recipe works out to roughly 30g of protein per serve if you make with the suggested ingredients below.

APPLE PIE Baked OatS

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats (I used Scotch oats)
2 bananas
60g vanilla protein powder
I used NZ protein whey protein, gourmet vanilla
350ml milk of choice
I like calci trim as it’s higher protein than regular milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup frozen diced apple
1 tsp maple syrup
6 TBS high protein yogurt or greek yogurt
1 tsp cinnamon

For the ‘crumble’
3/4 cup oats mixed with 1-2 TBS smooth peanut butter

Method:

1. Mash bananas into bottom of a dish roughly 20 x 30cm (preferably one that has a lid)

2. Add oats, baking powder & protein powder

3. Pour in milk and mix everything together

4. In the microwave, heat your diced apples, maple syrup & cinnamon for 1 min to soften them up.

5. Place spoonfuls of the apples on top of your batter, and then do the same with the yogurt

6. Get a spoon and swirl together the yogurt, apples and yogurt - but don’t fully mix them together. You want it to be only just mixed so you can nice clumpy parts of yogurt and apples

7. Mix together your ‘crumble’ which is just peanut butter and oats, it kind of clumps together. Springle this on top of your oats batter

8. Place in the oven for 40 mins at 180 degrees.

9. Once out of the oven, let cool a little and cut into 6 serves. Pop your lid on and place in the fridge.

To Serve:

1. Take out one serve daily, warm in the microwave and add a little fresh yogurt on top. I also add a drizzle of peanut butter or some raspberries. SO GOOD!

Banoffee Single Serve Cookie Baked Oats

GET IN MY BELLY! If you’re looking for someone quick you can whip up for dessert… or breakfast (I won’t judge) then look no further. This is a baked oats recipe, but not as you know it. It’s done a little differently and the texture is different to my other baked oats recipe due to being blended… think more like a cross between a pancake and a cookie. So yum and feels so decadent yet it’s healthy, made fro oats and full of protein.

Banoffee Single Serve Cookie Baked Oats!

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats (I use the ‘scotch’ oats
1/2 banana
2 TBS Caramel or Salted Caramel protein powder *
1 egg
1/4 cup milk of choice
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp maple syrup
Choc chips (I use sure free, use as many of you like)

Method

1. Blend all of your ingredients together except for the chocolate chips until they are well combined and texture is smooth

2. Pour into an oven safe single serve dish and sprinkle with choc chips

3. Bake for 20mins at around 180 degrees on regular bake, but keep an eye on it. My first experiment resulted in an explosion from having oven too hot!

• I get a really yummy salted caramel protein powder that is whey based from NZ protein. It’s amazing!

Quick & Easy Meal Prep Ideas

Quick & Easy Meal Prep Ideas

I love a bit of a meal prep session on a Sunday. It definitely helps my week go better being that little bit more organised, and the time investment is not that big. I put together a reel of my latest meal prep routine and thought I would share the recipes here in one place, plus I’ve added in one or two more that are go to’s.

Strategy wise - my goal is to always prep:
- One Protein
- Baking for lunchboxes
- One breakfast for the week (for example, either granola or baked oats)
- Some snacks
- if time, chopped veggies

Here’s what that would look like for prep.
________________

Pulled Pork or Beef Brisket

Having a protein in the fridge that will last 2-3 meals is a game changer. Our faves are my pulled pork or brisket as both can be used in a variety of meals that are quick and easy. This week our one Pork Shoulder did 3 meals.

Night 1: Quessidillas done in the toasted sandwich maker (just add cheese)
Night 2: Pulled Pork Subs. I buy some of the long loaves of French or Italian bread from Countdown, add cheese, lettuce and tomato. Bingo! Delicious
Night 3: Pulled Pork with Mashed Potato and Steamed Broccoli. Part of my meal prep this week was freezing some mash (game changer) so we pulled out a serve of that and it just took 5 mins to steam some brocoli

MASHED POTATO

Yep, you heard me right. Freeze some mashed potato! While some of the other things are on, pop on some potatoes. When cooked, drain and completely cool before mashing. Store servings in zip lock bags to store in the freezer.

Blueberry or Raspberry Cheesecake Baked Oats

I can’t tell you how much I love this recipe. It’s a life saver for me, making mornings so much easier. I bake one batch on Sunday and it lasts me until Saturday. GOLD.

Muffins or Cookies

You can’t beat the good old Edmonds Sweet Muffin mix! They are very easy, economical and quick. I add a mashed banana and either blueberries or raspberries to ours and Aiden loves them. Store in the freezer and just get one out when making lunches makes them last longer.

HOME MADE GRANOLA

Home made granola is really easy and really yummy. I have two recipes you can try.

Date, Banana & peanut butter chocolate bites

I make these every week, mainly for me. When I want something sweet, I can grab one from the freezer. They are SO yum!

Lastly, if you have time, chopping up veggies for meals ahead if always a great idea. I even shred our lettuce to save extra time when making salads or sandwiches.

Happy prepping!

Aiden's Epic Berry Protein Shake

I cannot take all the credit for this one. I’ve been making berry smoothies for Aiden for years, but recently he’s been requesting them which has coincided with taking a more active & interested role in his own health & diet. This has all stemmed from being pretty serious about his sport. He’s been learning about the different food types, why protein is important for his muscles and recovery.

So, we have taken his fave berry smoothie and made a few tweaks to up his protein for post workouts or games and the result is SO SO delicious I just had to share with you. It’s extra thick and creamy, the texture is amazing thanks to a few secret ingredients. Don’t miss adding the zucchini to this, as it really adds so much creaminess and you can’t taste it at all.

Berry protein Shake

Ingredients

200ml milk (any kind)
1 small - medium banana, fresh
1/2 cup mixed frozen berries
2-3 pieces of frozen mango
2-3 pieces of frozen zucchini (trust me!)
Small handful cashews
3-4 pieces of ice (don’t overdo it or the shake will end up icy)
2 scoops NZ protein vanilla protein powder

Method

Pop all of your ingredients in a blender and blend for at least 45 seconds and then serve!

Meal Prep: Blueberry Cheesecake Baked Oats

Ok so we can all thank late night instagram scrolling for this one. Although I saw it, thought I saved the recipe and then didn’t and have struggled to find again and had HALF a screenshot of the recipe, but it’s ok as I just ran with my terrible memory (but also pretty good knowledge of baked oats) and think I nailed it first go. So, credit to the lovely lady with the British accent for the Inspo… and half the recipe 🤦🏻‍♀️

Quite honestly this is like eating cake for breakfast. But it’s HEALTHY cake. We have so much good stuff going on here - the goodness of oats which are a slow releasing carb, plus banana for potassium, blueberries with all their amazing properties and of course protein to help keep you full for longer. Honestly, try it at least once and let me know what you think! Keep in mind these quantities are specifically for meal prep that will last you the week. OR, you can share with your family and get a day or two out of it.

Blueberry Cheesecake Baked OatS

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats (I used Scotch oats)
2 bananas
60g protein powder
I used NZ protein whey protein, gourmet vanilla
420ml calci trim milk

1 tsp baking powder
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 tsp maple syrup or honey
6 TBS high protein yogurt or greek yogurt

Method:

1. Mash bananas into bottom of a dish roughly 20 x 30cm (preferably one that has a lid)

2. Add oats, baking powder & protein powder

3. Pour in milk and mix everything together

4. In the microwave, heat your blueberries and maple syrup or honey for 1 min to soften them up.

Sticky Date Overnight Weetbix You Have To Try!

Ok, I’ve cracked the code. I have tried quite a few variations of overnight weetbix and this one is HANDS down my favourite one. It is caramely and cinamony and delicious. YUM!
My Banoffee High Protein Overnight Weetbix is also super yum if you’re looking for another version to try - but I have to say this one is my favourite.

You can easily make it high protein by making with high protein almond milk, or calci trim (which is naturally high in protein) plus use high protein yogurt.

Ingredients

• 2 Weetbix crushed

• 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used calci trim)

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp maple syrup

• 2 dates, diced

• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I used high protein yogurt)

Method

1. Mix all ingredients except fo the yogurt together in a bowl & then spread into the bottom of a small container or jar

2. Layer yogurt on top

3. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and weetbix

4. Cover and refrigerate overnight
   
   If you’re making for the family, multiply the ingredients by the number of people and make a slab of it! Place in a baking dish or pyrex to rest overnight.

High Protein Banoffee Overnight Weetbix

Overnight weetbix is all the rage on TikTok, and I’m here for it. Normally the only thing I’d make with weetbix is a chocolate weetbix slice, but this is also a great option… and a much healthier one! I first started having a version of this a few years ago following my gastric bypass surgery as it’s great for puree stage, but this version is a lot better with more textures and flavour. Making it a high protein version will also mean it will keep you full for much longer. I have a few variations I’m working on, but for now enjoy my High Protein Banoffee Overnight Weetbix!

Ingredients:

• 2 Weetbix​ crushed

• 1/2 Cup So Good High Protein Almond Milk

• 1/2 cup high protein vanilla yogurt

• 1/2 small banana

• Chopped nuts

• Smooth peanut butter or create your own peanut butter drizzle by mixing peanut butter with Maple Syrup to sweeten it up, and a little bit of hot water.

Method:

1. Crush your weetbix and mix with almond milk, spread into the bottom of a small container or jar

2. Put a layer of slice banana on top, and then some peanut butter drizzle & yogurt

3. Drizzle a little peanut butter and chopped peanuts, and some crushed weetbix if you’d like some extra crunch on top

4. Cover and refrigerate overnight
   
   If you’re making for the family, multiply the ingredients by the number of people and make a slab of it! Place in a baking dish or pyrex to rest overnight.
   
   
   

Banana & Peanut Butter Protein Bircher

A few months ago I discovered a delicious bircher recipe from Two Raw Sisters. It’s very similar to the overnight oats recipes I have here on my website already, but I decided to give it a go for something new and loved it! In my opinion, it’s the raisins /cranberries and spices that make it. Because I have very specific protein goals, I’ve made a few tweaks to their recipe and wanted to share because it’s been a hit in our household.

I like to make up a double batch so that breakfast is sorted for 2 days running, and it’s just one less thing to think about in the morning. The below serving is for 1, just double it for 2 people or quadruple to make breaky for 2, for 2 mornings. You get the idea. If you don’t have protein powder, don’t stress, it will work just fine without, I just like to add more protein to breakfast to make me full for longer.

You can totally eat on it’s own as it’s super yummy as is, but I like to add some yogurt for extra creaminess, fresh banana and maybe a little PB or berries for some tang.

Protein Tips: I use the Vanilla protein powder from NZ Protein, it’s a whey based protein and is non grainy and delicious. The other option I always have is tasteless protein from Feel Good Protein which is a collagen base. To up the protein I use calci trim milk (as it’s higher than standard milk), but you can sub for a DF alternative or whatever milk is your fave. The peanut butter is also going to add some protein in there for you.

Serves 1

Banana & Peanut Butter Protein Bircher

Ingredients
1/2 cup oats (I used Scotch Oats)
3/4 cup calci trim milk
1 TBSP chia seeds
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 banana mashed
1 TBSP peanut butter
1 TBSP vanilla protein powder
handful raisins for cranberries

Method

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, cover and pop in the fridge to thicken overnight. Top with your fave toppings or eat as is.

If you’re wanting something warmer for winter, try my Scottish Porridge or Baked Oats.

Choc Banana Protein Shake

ohhhhh what to say. I love chocolate, and I love banana. I recently had an epic choc banana protein shake out and decided to recreate at home. It has become one of my fave go to's!

You can use vanilla protein or chocolate. I don't have chocolate in the house, so I use cacao to create the chocolately goodness.   If not thick enough, add more ice and get it tasting super creamy and just like a chocolate thickshake!

Enjoy!

Choc Banana Protein Shake

1 cup almond milk
1 cup ice
1 banana
2 TBS vanilla protein powder
1.5 TBS cacao powder
1 TBS chia seeds
1 tsp maple syrup

Blend until completely smooth & top with some coconut shavings and cacao nibs for some crunch. 

An Overnight Oats Recipe You Should Try!

One thing I love about winter, is hot oats / porridge in the morning when it's cold outside. With it getting a bit cooler in the mornings, I decided to start experimenting with overnight oats as I'd seen a few Instagram stories about how easy they are.  They actually couldn't be any easier!  Once you get the quantities right, they are also pretty hard to beat for creaminess and taste.

My absolute favourite thing is that these are made in advance, so in the morning you just grab them out of the fridge and heat if desired. You can actually make several days worth in advance if you like and have a weeks worth of breakfasts good to go.  The flavour combo's are also endless and kids love them.  This week we have had banana & vanilla, feijoa & pear (feijoa is a fruit found in New Zealand) and peanut butter with banana. All have been great.  The recipe I'm sharing with you today is a plain base that you then just add your fruit to it, or have it on it's own, it's great as is.

I suggest saving your jars and use a wider neck if possible.

Versatile recipes are the best, and you can adapt this one to suit your dietary requirements.  I make it dairy free (also vegan) by using plant based coconut or almond milk & coconut yogurt, but you can totally make it with full fat milk or yogurt.  To make itgluten free, use gluten free oats.

Meal Prep Ideas: Roast Vegetable Salad with Chicken, Nut & Seed Chocolate Bark, Bliss Balls & Chia Jam

This week I extended meal prep to an hour and a half. And did 4 meals for lunches plus our treats for the fridge as well. We love bliss balls around here for snacks and lunchboxes, and I also decided to experiment and make a nutty chocolate bark full of goodness. It turned out amazing!

First up -

Roast Vege Salad with Chicken Breast & Lemon Mustard Dressing
Makes 4 meals

3 x chicken breasts
1/4 pumpkin
1 kumara
1 red onion
2 zucchini
2 x coloured capsicum (I used red and yellow - eat the rainbow!)
Corn kernals
1/2 bag baby spinach

To make the salad, chop all veges in similar size and line roasting tray in a single layer. Toss olive oil through veges and season. Bake for roughly 25 mins.

For the chicken, bake as preferred - I like to coat chicken breast with dukkah! Bake for 30 mins.

Once vegetables have cooled, toss through corn and spinach. Places equal amounts in your Tupperware and slice chicken evenly to place on top.

For lemon dressing, combine:

Juice of 1 lemon
1TBS whole grain stone mustard
2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS mayonnaise

Mix with a fork for a minute or until comes together.

Drizzle over salad before storing in fridge for up to 5 days, or freezer for 2 months

Chia Jam

Chia jam is one of the quickest and easiest things you can do to make a small change in your diet to reduce sugar for your family. Ditch sugar laden jams for this recipe which just uses natural sugars of the berries or fruit. This week I used plums from our orchard that had been boiled down, but raspberry is a firm fave in our house.

1.5 cups berries
1-2 cup chia seeds
*maple if sweetener needed

Heat berrris on stovetop in a pot until broken down, use a masher to squash them! Once heated, add your chia seeds and maple (if using), stir and place into a jar. Store in fridge to set. Keeps for up to a week.

Nut & Seed Chocolate Bark!

This delicious chocolate deserved a post all of it’s own, CLICK HERE.

Cacao Crunch Bliss Balls

This week I totally cheated and got a bliss ball mix from Clean Mixes. The wholesome co also have some great prep mixed blends you can buy. If you’re short on time these mixes are fab.

These are the Cacao Crunch flavour and I added in extra pumpkin seeds plus some crushed almond and buckwheat. Wherever possible I add extra bits and pieces that up the nutritional content of foods.

Tropical Smoothie

1 cup coconut milk (preferably from the can, good quality)
1 banana
1 cup fresh or frozen tropical fruit like mango, pineapple, paw paw
1 TBS fresh coconut
1 TBS chia seeds
2 TBS cashews
1 cup ice

Combine all of the above into a blender and combine until smooth. Top with a nut blend or some fresh coconut.

Boysenberry & Banana Smoothie Bowl

Now that summer is here, or at least feels like it is, we are going to be making Smoothie Bowls on the regular at our place. I love coming up with new flavour combo’s based on what I have in my cupboard or freezer.

This is my absolute new fave, and with the boysenberries, it’s high in vitamin C!

There are a few important things to remember - first, you need a good blender. If you have a bullet or smaller blender you may not get the result you are after, or it just might take a while. You have to BLEND BLEND BLEND! Secondly, I used to just throw everything in and blend all at once, but I do think it works out better if you add the liquid in slowly as it’s blending. Makes it harder to add too much and end up with a smoothie.

Make sure you add lots of good stuff on top, especially crunch!

PS. The immune blend mentioned below is a health blend from The Wholesome Co.

Boysenberry & Banana Smoothie Bowl

1.5 frozen banana
1 Cup frozen boysenberries
1TBS chia seeds
1/4 cup liquid
Optional:
1 TBS Acai powder
1 TBS The Wholesome Co Immune Blend

Method:

The key is in the blending, add only a tiny bit of liquid and start to blend, adding more slowly as it mixes. Once you get nice and smooth and to your desired consistency, you’re done!

Chocolate Chia Pudding

Thanks Countdown for this fabulous recipe! I made this recipe today after receiving some new healthy products from Countdown that they are putting on price lockdown. How good is that? Healthy products at lower prices every day. Healthy eating is something I feel really strongly about, and I’m so stoked that healthy options will be more accessible and easier for everyone.

Enjoy this super easy and quick chocolate pudding!
PS. if you don’t like the chia pudding consistency, once it’s set, blitz it until smooth!

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk

• 1/3 cup black or white chia seeds

• 1 Tbsp cacao powder

• 1/2 cup blueberries, plus extra to serve

• 2 Tbsp raw honey plus extra to drizzle

• 2 Tbsp mixed nuts, chopped

• 1 Handful cacao nibs, to serve

Method

1. In a large jug, combine milk, seeds, cacao powder and honey. Mix well. Set aside 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.

2. Add blueberries and stir until combined. Pour evenly among 4 serving glasses or bowls. Chill for 30 minutes.

3. Serve topped with extra blueberries, cacao nibs, nuts and a drizzle of honey.

Crunchy Almond, Pecan & Raspberry Granola

I put granola on everything. Smoothies, bowls, coconut yogurt - you name it, anything creamy and I’ll put some crunch on it. I buy a variety of nut granolas to use as toppings, but also like to have my crunchy oat granola on hand as well. Oddly enough I don’t really use it like regular granola, but the boys do and love it. 

This is a very lose recipe - play with quantities for how much you’d like to make, up the things you like and omit the things you don’t.  I have packed this recipe full of things we love, and opted to add some Glowing Skin Mix from The Wholesome Co.  Any extra nutrition you can get away with adding, add!

Crunchy Almond, Pecan & Raspberry Granola

In a bowl combine:

3 cups organic rolled oats
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup roughly chopped almonds
1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
2 TBS Wholesome Co Glowing Skin Mix
2-3TBS of butter or coconut oil (I used DF Olivani)
2-3TBS honey or maple syrup

Once mixed, pour the granola mix on to a baking tray and bake for approx 15 mins or until brown checking every 5 mins and stirring to stop any burning from happening. 

Once out of the oven, add in freeze dried raspberries & cranberries.
