I love it because you only need a high speed blender (I use a Vitamix), measuring spoons and cups and it’s ready to put in the oven. But you can use a bowl and mix it all together if you want! You will just have to smush up the bananas then combine all the other … Continue reading

HNC Crunchy Nut Mix

I’ve gone nuts. Completely nuts for nuts! I don’t think I’ve ever eaten as much of them as I have since we began the transition to wholefoods. They are just a perfect snack that fills you up.

It will last in an airtight container for a week or two at a guess- … Continue reading
