Starting to wind down from the sugar train and jumping back on the feeling good, healthy train. Here's a few recipes you might find on that train. :)

         This would be a desert...

   Banana Chocolate Pudding

2 bananas

About 1/4 cup Agave

3-4 Tablespoons cocoa powder

A couple splashes of soy milk

Just mix it all in a food processor or blender and you can either keep it in the fridge for more of a pudding or you can do what I did and put it in the freezer and eat it like ice cream... yum!

Now for some bean dip. It's super easy and fun to make and most importantly, tasty!

This is caper hummus, it was really good. I had it everyday last week :)

1 can of Garbanzo beans

2 Tablespoons of Tahini

1 Tablespoon minced Garlic (or about 3 cloves)

1-2 Tablespoons of Capers

I used a hand blender but a food processor would work just fine. Just put all the ingredients in a bowl and blend away!

Then for my second round...

This one is pretty good, it's a little spicy though.

1 can of pinto beans

1 1/2 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon garlic

2-3 teaspoons of hot sauce, I used Crystal

3-4 teaspoons of lime juice

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Same thing, just blend it all up!

Then for something sweet again (but still semi-healthy)

Rice Pudding!

2 cups brown rice (I had some left over so I just used that)

1 cup non-dairy milk, I used almond but I think next time I'll use rice.

1/4 cup brown rice syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Add rice and milk to a pan and keep on medium high heat until it gets a little thick. Then add the syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon and keep on heat to let it thicken a little more. Let it cool in the refrigerator for a little while, but I had some warm and it was really good! 

That's all for now, but I tried a new restaurant with my Gramma and of course I took pictures! But I'll save that for my next post. :)
