Chocolate Banana Protein Shake

by Erin @ Food Doodles on July 5, 2020

This chocolate banana protein shake is a quick, easy and delicious way to get an extra boost of protein in your day! It can easily be made gluten-free, vegan and paleo.

I sure love my smoothies. This Strawberry Green Smoothie and this Mango Pineapple Smoothie are some of my favorites.

But I don’t love the sugar crash. Even though I rarely add sweeteners to my smoothies, the fruit is enough to bring me down later.

This chocolate protein shake does have a banana in it but the added protein from the protein powder and the little bit of fat from the peanut butter help make it more balanced.

Polish Cucumber Salad

Polish Cucumber Salad June 11, 2020

This Polish cucumber salad (called mizeria) is a light, refreshing and creamy sour cream and dill based salad. It’s a quick summer salad that’s great for picnics!

Dinner Muffins

Dinner Muffins May 21, 2020

These dinner muffins are yeast-free and whole wheat but stay soft and fluffy for days! They can also be made dairy-free. Before I started making my favorite (and really the best!) whole wheat rolls, I had tried an insane number of whole grain bread recipes, only to be disappointed. They were never fluffy like I […]
