this recipe makes the perfect breakfast bread :) and it used up all my ripe ‘naners sitting at home!

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe bananas, mushed
• 1/8 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple sauce
• 1/2-3/4 cup sugar, depending on the level of sweetness you like~(i used 2/3rd cup agave nectar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• A pinch or two of cloves
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups flour (I used oat flour)
• 1 cup fresh cranberries, rinsed

This is how we do ittttt:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, oil, apple sauce, sugar, and vanilla. Stir well.
• Next, add the spices, baking powder and salt, and gently spoon in the flour. Mix until just combined, and then fold in the cranberries.
• Pour the batter into lightly oiled, 9x5” loaf pan or a bundt pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes (until the edges begin to pull away from the sides, or a toothpick comes out clean). Serve warm, or cool part way on a rack and place in a zip-lock bag or other container to keep the loaf moist.

So I recently visited the doctor’s to check up on my overall health, and they gave me a chart of my total weight dropped this past year: 28 pounds!

yea, Ive lost 28 pounds in almost exactly a year, making my current weight 117 at 5’6.

now this is a bit too low for my body type at the moment, and I am starting to feel the negative effects of a low body weight. I hate not having energy to engage in activities i like to do such as running or dancing, BUT I’m taking the initiative now to begin upping my calorie intake to roughly 2000/day this way I can hault all this weight loss, and then eventually steady it off at my maintenance intake, which should be around 1800/day.

anywayss, I hope all is still well in the tumblr health world, and namaste to you all <3
