Over the past year, I’ve been trying to create healthier lifestyle habits, from eating better to exercising consistently, to managing stress better. Although I am not a nutritionist, therapist or personal trainer, I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can from the resources available to me. Although I still have room for improvement, I am already proud of the changes and will continue to learn and improve.
Thursday blog posts will be dedicated to healthy food ideas. ‘Healthy’ doesn’t necessarily have to mean ‘boring’ but can be full of flavor and nutritious, leaving both your body and mind satisfied. In an effort to create a balanced life, there will also be some indulgences.
To kick off this series, let’s start with the first meal of the day: breakfast! There are just some days where I stay in bed until the very last second, and this banana oat bar is the perfect solution to make sure I still have a healthy breakfast. I just leave the whole batch in the freezer and microwave it for about 30 seconds.
My cousin (who’s a nutritionist) replaced the yogurt with mashed lentils, and I couldn’t taste the difference! I will probably try and reduce the sugar and even replace some of it with honey, but overall, this is a great and easy recipe that I am definitely going to make again!
If you try this recipe, make sure to tag me @SeppyforLove! And if you have any interesting recipes or nutritional/health articles, I would also love to see them! In the meantime, you can check out all the yummy recipes that I plan on making on my Pinterest boards.
