Ever feel bored with what you are eating? You are not alone.
Even the most creative among us sometimes fall into a slump regarding what we
make. If you are interested in boosting your daily nutrition with healthy
alternatives, then you are in luck. You may want to consider our following list
of delicious smoothies. Designed to be both delicious and healthy. Each recipe
has its own benefits to help satisfy those naughty cravings, while also providing
the right kind of nutrients to help tone muscle and lose weight.
1. Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie
It doesn’t get much better than a chocolate strawberry
smoothie. With that in mind, we begin our list of 3 weight loss smoothie
recipes with one that is sure to please. The chocolate strawberry smoothie
blast uses a small hand-full of chocolate, a cup of strawberries, 30 grams of Optimum
Nutrition 100% whey (or alternatively a 30 gram scoop from one of these whey
supplements) and 2 table spoons of chia seeds, to create something that is
truly out of this world. What you get when you blend all of these ingredients, is
a ton of flavor without the same calories that you would get with a milkshake
or something far heavier. Give it a try and see for yourself!
2. Green Blast
While chocolate strawberry smoothie has a lot of flavor,
green blast provides an equal measure of nutrition. Made with a blend of half a
cup of spinach, a hand full of white beans, ice, and a cup of soy milk, you get
a significant amount of iron in a creamy and sweet combination. If you need to
substitute a meal with a smoothie, then go with the Green Blast. Along with
reducing the amount of calories you are consuming, you get a nutritious and
tasty meal that you can take with you on the go.
3. Berry Beets
A combination of several different kinds of berries along
with beets, you get a lot of flavor, a lot of nutrition, and very little in
terms of calories. Helping you to look good on the outside, the berry beets
smoothie is another great thing to take with you on the road. It is great for
those who love sweeter things, and its natural ingredients help to cleanse and
beautify your skin. Consider one of these a week and be amazed at how filling
and beneficial it is for you. Simply take half a cup of frozen
blue berries mixed with raspberries, 3 slices of beetroot, a cup of ice and a
cup of almond milk. Blend for 30 seconds and enjoy!
Along with these three that we prefer the most, there are
many that were very close to making the list but just fell a little short. Some
popular runners up include Papaya ginger smoothies, ginger and berry smoothies
with oats, banana kale smoothies, Mood boosting blueberry smoothies, and
vanilla spinach smoothies. Do yourself a favor and experiment a little with
these ingredients and you will be amazed at what you can come up with.

Pancakes can be made with chocolate and be good for you at the same time. Just try this recipe and you’ll see what I mean. What makes them healthy is the whole wheat flour and the absence of sugar. The banana is there to replace the sugar with its natural sweetness. Try to find low-fat white chocolate chips and serve with berries (blueberries or raspberries).This is one of the best pancake recipes out there!
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter, for greasing
1 cup raspberries
Instructions
Mash the bananas. Whisk them together with the eggs and milk. Add the wet mix to the flour and salt. Mash the raspberries a bit and add them into the mix. At the end, add the white chocolate chips. Stir everything well, but leave a little lumpy.
Grease a non-sticking pan with some butter and heat it over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter on the pan for each pancake. Cook the pancake until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Serve with raspberries and white chocolate chips on top.

Celebrities love baking, or at least that’s what it looks like from their Instagram feeds. Former party lovers, whose feeds used to be filled with selfies and red carpet photos now post pics of their perfect home-made treats. And they make them pretty well. You can find various desserts, from cakes like Kelly Brook’s Easter creation to beautifully decorated cupcakes Kourtney Kardashian-style. Let’s not forget the banana bread.
Celebrity Banana Bread Recipes
I am a banana bread fan and I have made like a hundred versions of banana bread. This has become my obsession ever since I downloaded the cooking app MyGreatRecipes and discovered its banana bread recipe collection. Some time ago (I was bored a little bit) I searched the internet to find out what kind of desserts celebrities like (and bake). Turns out they do create their own sweet delights and what caught my eye in particular was Rachel Zoe’s banana bread recipe. I thought to myself “A woman with such style can’t go wrong with styling ingredients in a dessert.” That’s how I came up with the idea to recreate celebrity banana bread recipes by using the most similar banana bread option from my fav app. Here are my two best banana loafs, as made by famous people.
Rachel Zoe’s Banana Bread
The celebrity stylist and designer confessed that she loves baking, especially during the award season because it calms her nerves. I found this banana bread recipe on her Instagram feed. It is visible that it contains chocolate chips, so here is my version of it:
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
4 teaspoons milk
3-4 over ripe bananas
1 cup chocolate chips
The best thing about banana bread is that all you need to do is mix the ingredients. Start by mixing the butter and sugar, then add milk, eggs and banana and at the end add the flour and baking soda. The chocolate chips are incorporated at the end and stirred manually (no mixer needed). Let the oven do the rest. Bake for about 45 minutes. Use a toothpick to check whether the loaf is done. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go.
Stanley Tucci’s Banana Bread
The actor said that this recipe is from his late wife Kate and called it Kate’s Banana Bread in her honor. He remembers how she used to make this loaf for their family and friends and everyone loved it. The recipe originally calls for Grape-nuts cereal but I made it with fresh grapes and pecans.
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup castor sugar
pinch of salt
½ cup butter
2 eggs
1 cup mixed green and red grapes
1 cup chopped pecans
Follow the procedure laid down for the chocolate chips recipe above. Fold the grapes in the batter at the end. The grapes will look like precious gems in the baked bread. The loaf will also get extra sweetness from the grapes and they make perfect combination with any kind of nuts. Cook’s verdict: I liked both recipes, the first being a more classic version of the banana loaf, whereas the second was an opportunity for me to use grapes in a banana bread for the first time. I couldn’t decide so I let my family make the decision for me. They ruled on the Kate’s banana bread to my surprise. I expected they would be in favor of the chocolatey treat
