smoothies and banana mufins

a couple of weeks ago we had a relief society activity on eating healthy. after the activity i realized we are very bad eaters. i love healthy food, but i LOVE junk food. if there are cookies in the house or candy. i will eat it first thing in the morning. i can go through a package of cookies or candy in one day. it's disgusting how much junk i eat. i am determined to eat healthier and for my kids to have healthier eating habits.

one thing we have started doing is making smoothies in the morning. they are so good! andi is my little smoothie girl. she loves them and wants to make them all the time. we have done vanilla yogurt with blueberries and ice (my favorite) and strawberry banana with vanilla and ice (andi's favorite). this morning andi want to add a strawberry to the rim of her cup! love that little girl.

we also love to make banana muffins. or as neal calls them, 'muff'. it is a yummy recipe from my brother. i just need to add oatmeal or flaxseed to give it a little boost.




our favorite banana muffin recipe:

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup sour cream

cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. add dry ingredients. then add bananas and sour cream bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. makes about 24 muffins

Okay, so why are you so thin?? Life is not fair! The muffs look great, though. I can't wait to try them!
