Change Can Be Good

After watching the movies-

"Forks Over Knives" &

"Food Inc."

 My Sweets and I, have come to the conclusion

that we want to change the way that we eat.

I don't think we will ever be "Vegans",

but I have vowed to make two meals

 a week with just vegetables.

If that goes well ... maybe even more. 

We are starting out with baby steps.

If you have not seen either of the two
movies above, we highly recommend them.

There is no way, after seeing them, that you

won't come away with this phrase...

OMG! (Oh My Goodness!)


I purchased the "Forks Over Knives" cookbook,
and we have been taste testing new recipes; weekly.

Keith and I always seem to want something small
but sweet after dinner, 
so I found this recipe ,in the cookbook. 


Frozen Chocolate Banana Treats

Frozen Chocolate Banana Treats

1/3 c maple syrup

1/3 c plant-based milk

1/3 c cocoa powder

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 ripe bananas

2 c oats

Grape-Nuts Cereal

Directions:

Puree the maple syrup, milk, cocoa, vanilla, and bananas in food processor

until well combined. Transfer to a bowl. Add the oats and mix well.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper.  Put Grape-Nuts in a small bowl.

Using the big end of a melon baller or a small spoon, scoop up a little

chocolate ball and drop it into the bowl of Grape-Nuts. Turn the ball

over with a spoon or your fingers (you may find it easier to use your fingers),

 then sprinkle Grape-Nuts onto the sides and gently place it onto the wax paper.  Repeat this process with the rest of the chocolate mixture.

Freeze the entire pan of chocolate treats.  After the treats are frozen,

Transfer them to an airtight container and store it in the freezer.


We give them 2 thumbs up!

They are really good and good for you too!
