Our Banana Bread and Banana Muffins are 2 very popular recipes and since it's fall we decided we would add a little pumpkin flavor to them! I'll be honest, I'm not a huge pumpkin fan but I like to create recipes that our readers enjoy so I suck it up and use pumpkin to experiment! Well, I actually loved the way this bread turned out! You must give it a try...pumpkin lovers AND non-pumpkin Lovers!

The Banana SPRINT

If you are like me, you want to EAT your food. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my protein shakes but sometimes I just want to chew my food. Well, I went for a run the other day and decided to refuel with this AMAZING treat (did you catch our post on what to eat before and after your run?). Try not to eat all of the Greek yogurt mixture before you add it to your banana (it's similar to our Four Ingredient Protein Pudding). I'll be honest, after this picture these pictures were taken I mashed it all together and devoured it!

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 tsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk or water

Optional Toppings:

• 1 tsp almond butter
• 1/4 cup oats

Directions:

1. Peel and cut banana in half, length-wise

2. Mix together Greek yogurt, protein powder, and almond milk

3. Add Greek yogurt mixture to open banana

4. Enjoy!

This is so good! I've been eating this lately as my "last meal" before bed. It really satisfies my sweet tooth and provides the protein I need. I have even used it as "icing" on the chocolate protein bars and clean cookie cake!

Eat Clean Recipe: Four Ingredient Protein Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 scoop of protein powder
• 1 small scoop stevia
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together until combined.
2. Place in refrigerator for approximately one hour or the freezer for 30 minutes.
3. Enjoy!

He and She Tip: If you want the consistency to be more like ice cream, freeze it for at least an hour. If you want the consistency to be more like icing, refrigerate it for at least an hour.
