ChocoBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites / Weekly Recap

April 6, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Howdy!

Well it’s another fun Saturday here and boy do I have a wonderful treat in store for you!  Do you like chocolate?  How about banana’s?  Maybe some Peanut Butter?  Well I like all of those things and what I like more is having them all together in a little muffin cup ready for me to eat!

ChocBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites

You’ll have to forgive the picture, I couldn’t control myself and I had to take a bite of this delicious, healthy little treat!  These little yogurt bites are made with a very ripe banana, greek yogurt, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, a pinch of coconut oil, peanut butter and I had to top it with a strawberry!  This is one of my favorite combos.  It’s kind of my smoothie / yogurt parfait snack that I like to have on a regular basis and I thought, hey want not freeze it and then I can just grab one when the urge hits!!  Let me tell you, I grabbed more than one.  Lucky they are guilt-free!

ChocBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites


These are super easy to make!  All I did was add all my ingredients into my blender and process until creamy smooth!  Then I scooped the batter and placed it into mini muffin cups!  Top with my favorite berry, and in the freezer it goes!  In an hour I had my frozen little chocolaty treats.  Yum!!

ChocBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites

What’s nice about these bites is that when they freeze they don’t get rock solid.  The fat from the coconut oil and peanut butter, plus the banana makes it nice and soft.  Just be warned if you leave these on the counter to long they will get to soft!!  Of course you can then just eat it with a spoon, but trust me, you won’t let them sit out that long.

ChocBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites

Once they were frozen, to save room in the freezer, I placed them into ziplock storage bags and placed back in the freezer.  Then when I want my snack, I can just grab one.  These are truly magnificent little bites!  I gave one to Jenny and she loved them.  I told her what was in it, and she was surprised!  I love having a healthy snack on hand and these would not only be perfect for you, but they would be perfect for kids too!  Beats all that frozen stuff they sell at the store!

ChocBanana Frozen Yogurt Bites

I am loving this combination and I will be most definitely be making these a lot in the summer!!!

As I’m writing this, it got me thinking, remember Pudding Pops from the 80’s?  They don’t make them anymore, but I remember the commercials with Bill Cosby.  I loved those Pudding Pops, especially the vanilla and chocolate swirl.  My Mom would buy them for us as a treat when we got good grades.  Ahhh, the good old days, when Pudding Pops and a special trip to McDonalds is all us kids needed to be rewarded, and we were happy with that.  Now a days it’s electronics!  Talk about spoiled!

Here is this weeks link finds:

Healthy Dining Finder – I thought this was pretty cool.  You type in your zip code or the zipcode you will be in, and all the restaurants that have healthy meals on it, will show up.  It will even give you the nutritional stats.  I’m bookmarking this one for easy finding!  Now no more, what can I eat at this restaurant?  It’s all picked out for you.

HUFF Post Healthy Living – 12 un-healthy foods that are fulling us.  I was surprised to see vitamin water and McDonalds Oatmeal on the list.

Shape Magazine – 20 of the coolest workout clubs in a America – Some of these clubs were pretty cool.  I like to check out the pictures.

It’s been kind of a slow week with links and things.  Here is this weeks weekly recap.

Sunday:  Meyer Lemon Snack Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting #SundaySupper – I am disappointed in the photos of this cake, but don’t let that stop you from making it.  It’s light, low-calorie and full of lemon.  I really enjoyed this cake, and plan on making it again!

Meyer Lemon Snack Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

Monday:   Banilla Breeze Smoothie – I love this smoothie, it reminds me of a milk shake, it’s thick, sweet and perfect for a hard workout!

Banilla Breeze Smoothie

Tuesday:  The Making of Bruschetta – One of my favorite combinations is tomatoes and basil!  Bruschetta is one of those dishes that I could never get sick of.  If you’re a frequent reader, you know how much I love this combination.  I have made it in so many different kind of variations.  Plus the balsamic glaze over the top, yum!  Next time you go to Trader Joe’s you need to pick some up!

Bruschetta

Wednesday:  Jalapeno and Artichoke Hummus – I’m a total condiment freak!  I swear I could live on dips and spreads!  This hummus is for when I am craving nachos or jalapenos, which seems to be always!  🙂  it’s perfect for dipping pretzels and veggies in or even topping it on a nice sandwich!

Pickled Jalapeno and Artichoke Hummus

Thursday:  Maple Mustard Glazed Grilled Salmon – This was the first time I ever made Salmon at home and it’s so easy and quick.  I love the sweetness of the maple syrup over the top, which went perfect with my sweet potatoes.

 

Maple Glazed Grilled Salmon

Friday:  Healthy Nachos –  Love my nachos!  This is another food is another food dish I could never get sick of.  I kind of have a major thing for Mexican food!  What’s nice about these nachos is that they are full of flavor and low in calories.  The key thing is making your own chips and not going over board with the cheese.  I know the cheese is the best part!  That is why I like Trader Joe’s Queso Cheese, it’s only 15 calories for 2 tablespoons.  Don’t ask how they do that because I have no clue!  🙂

Healthy Nachos

This week I had my trip to Monterey, and I must admit to you, I ate bad!!  We had a ton of granola, trail mixes and desserts.  I kind of went bonkers!  It’s so hard trying to be good and apparently I did a very bad job at it.  So this week, I am going to eat healthier and exercise until my legs fall off!!  Along with all the fat I consumed!!

Have a great weekend!  Oh and stay tuned for tomorrow, I have a low-calorie, budget friendly recipe for you!

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S.  This weeks craving is dessert, but I’m going to skip it and have Crab Melt.  Loving my seafood right now!

    What can I use in place of the coconut oil?

      I would skip the oil, with the banana and peanut butter the yogurt bite should still remain pretty soft. Let me know how it turns out!

    Hey! So I didn’t have any coconut oil in the house so I replaced it with canola oil. Is that ok? Thanks!!

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      April 24, 2013 at 5:51 PM

      Hi Leslie! That should work, or you can even omit the oil all together, I think it maybe fine without it. Let me know how it turns out.

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.
🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
