Paleo Dessert?

Over the past year I've discovered the next best thing to delicious fro-yo.... It's called Yo-nanas. After hearing about it on several podcasts and trying it officially at a paleo friend's house, I knew I had to get my hands on one.

What is it? Ultimately, it's a rotating grinder than smoothes out frozen fruit into a fro-yo type consistency. 

Although it's called "yo-nanas", it works with far more than just bananas. In fact, we've tried starfruit, honey dew, papaya, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and even dragon fruit. Ok maybe we stretched the creativity a bit far :)

Here are my two favorite new recipes:

Pumpkin Yonanas
Frozen Pumpkin (slightly thawed) 1/2 cup
Cinnamon pinch
Cloves pinch
Nutmeg pinch
1 banana frozen

Honey Berry Yonanas
Honey Dew (1/2 cup frozen)
Blueberries (1/2 cup frozen)

I'm not getting anything from the product review, but I figured I would pass this along to you fat adapted athletes, "no sugar no grains" peeps, and just the paleo population in general. This will help you kick the dessert habit of sure... 

Now how to kick the wine habit :) ? 

Banana Salted Almond Smoothie

As training vamps up for Rev3 South Carolina, Miami 70.3 and Rev3 Florida, I have had a hard time squeezing in enough calories.... Especially quality ones! With that said, this has been one of my favorite recovery smoothies lately.... I figured I would share in case you need some Vitamix inspiration.

Banana Salted Almond Smoothie

1.5 bananas (frozen)

1 cup coconut milk or almond milk

handful of salted almonds

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1/2 cup full fat FAGE greek yogurt

Throw ingredients in the Vitamix and done! You can substitute fresh bananas if you like, but I would throw in a 1/2 cup of ice as well if you chose this option. Enjoy!
