What I Eat in a Day: Bananas 3 Ways!

What I Eat in a Day - FeastingonFruit.com

I can never seem to plan these posts to actually fall on a Wednesday. What I ate Friday just doesn’t sound quite the same. Maybe I’ll call it Food That Went in My Face Friday. Yes? No? Too weird?

There’s a lot of banana going on in this video. Banana ice cream. Banana bread. Bananas straight up. Bananas in cereal. I would like to say this is a rare occurrence that just happened by chance, but honestly my days have been very banana centric lately. Bananas and dates, that’s pretty much what my winter fruit scene looks like.

And there is a disproportionate amount of time devoted to breakfast in this video, but that’s because this breakfast is crazy good. Its my current favorite meal, sometimes I have it twice a day. I already raved about it on Instagram, but it seriously tastes like a cookie dough blizzard! For reals. Even though the color is all wrong. Throw in some protein powder and some maca, and I call it a complete meal. Fruit, veggies, protein, all of the things!

Okay, I’m going to make my fingers stop typing now so you can actually watch the video…

If you want a couple of slices of that Maple Cornmeal Banana Bread in your day, recipe -> here

Have you tried rawnola + nice cream? I hope the answer is yes, if not you should!

Happy weekend <3

    “Food That Went in My Face Friday” Dude, I’d join in on that link-up 😉
    I had banana today…kinda…in the form of freeze-dried and extract in my snack bites I had before lifting 😉 Banana power? Maybe…just maybe 😉

    I absolutely LOVE your videos Natalie! They are so fun and entertaining. I wish with all my heart and soul I liked bananas, because you make the best recipes with them and make me want them! I laughed so hard at the Food that went in my face, hahahaha! So funny!

      Thank you Brandi! The creaminess of nicecream is a little cruel to watch if you don’t like bananas. Nice cream is actually the gateway food that has gotten my mom to start tolerating bananas a little bit, she used to be like you. Especially chocolate nicecream. Chocolate is the universal hider of flavors haha! But I really appreciate you watching anyways 🙂

    Rawnola is the best <3 And of course so is nice cream. But I have to admit I was in pain watching you break apart those bananas — my most dreaded moment EVER in my banana eating ways 🙂 I guess having raynaud's doesn't help my case… I really love your videos btw! Always want to see more when they end 🙂

      Thanks for watching Audrey 🙂 The banana wrestling is my least favorite part of eating fruity too, but I never have enough freezer space to freeze them all separated. The best method I find is a dull knife and a mallet–chisel them apart and no fingers have to suffer…but didn’t have one nearby while filming. Ah the struggles haha 😀

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Crust

-1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
-2 tbsp (50g) coconut oil

Blend the filling ingredients until very smooth and creamy. Pour on top of the crust. Combine berries, coconut sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently until it begins to thicken and become syrupy. Smash with a fork until the berries are mostly broken down.  Spoon on top of the cheesecake mixture and use the back of a spoon to swirl. Freeze overnight. Slice into bars and enjoy. Keep leftovers in the freezer.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
