Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal





This is soooooo yummy and warm. Makes you feel so comfy and cozy!




  • 1/2 cup of 1 minute oats
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup milk of choice (I use Almond Breeze 40 calories)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 T peanut butter (I use Better N' Peanut Butter from Trader Joe's)
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  •  1 or 2 Splenda

  • Cook the oats, salt, water and  milk on the stove top. Meanwhile, smash together the pb and  1/2 the banana. Then add in your vanilla and splenda. In a bowl add oatmeal to the pb/banana mix and stir.  Add remaining chopped banana in and stir.  You can smash the full banana with the pb, but I thought it would be better to have larger chunks of banana in the oatmeal.  =)


    The weight watcher points plus for this oatmeal is 5 pp.
    3 for the oats, 1 for the almond milk and 1 for the peanut butter.

    Enjoy!!!!

    Banana Ice Cream

    HOMEMADE 
    Banana Ice Cream
    Hubbs and I went to Trader Joes today and I forgot to get Ice Cream (sad face). But I did stock up on 19¢ bananas. So immediately my mind went to this recipe that I ran across somewhere... it's looks easy and I have been wanting to try it for some time now....


    It was SUPER simple to make and with only two ingredients (I used 1 tbsp. Mini Chocolate chips and two bananas) that are pretty much staples in my home, there was no running to the store for me! I will say that I over blended the bananas a wee bit so I threw the Ice Cream in a container back into the freezer when I was done. About an hour later Jeff and I grabbed 2 spoons and went to town! It was delicious and healthy! 
    Try it sometime!
