Clean Eating Banana Nut Oatmeal for Two

Banana nut bread is my all time favorite snack. 

I was craving it this morning and so I decided to make a healthier version of banana nut bread-by making banana nut oatmeal instead! It is so easy and tastes almost like the real thing. And, its clean!

This recipe calls for two servings because I was making a bowl for my husband and I. If you want to just make it for yourself, split the recipe in half!

Here is what you need:

• 2 bananas (one per each bowl)
• 2 tbsp cinnamon (one per each bowl)
• 1 cup oats (1/2 cup per each bowl
• Half cup of pecans (1/4 cup for each bowl)
• 1 cup water (or coconut milk if you want a creamier texture). Pour 1/2 cup into each bowl.
• Sweeten with Stevia, pure maple syrup, or brown sugar if desired.

Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes!

One of my favorite healthy snacks! Chop two bananas into slices, sprinkle with cinnamon & honey. Place 1tbsp coconut oil into a heated skillet and fry them! Yummy.

Timing Your Snacks

Snacking is key to weightloss. Not only has it helped me lose 50lbs, but it keeps me from getting HANGRY (hungry/angry). Even during pregnancy, I snack almost every 2 hours to keep me full and happy. If you cant remember when to snack, try planning the night before and putting your snacks and meals into little baggies to pack with you or to stash in the fridge.

WHEN YOU EAT MATTERS!

Think of your body as a fireplace. It constantly needs wood to burn, right?

Your body is no different. It NEED calories constantly to keep running. A healthy metabolism is a fast metabolism. Keep it working overtime. Do not let yourself slip into a starvation mode by not eating enough.
