  3. In a medium bowl combine pumpkin puree, egg whites, vegetable oil, water, and sugar. Whisk until well combined. 
  4. In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, pepper and baking soda. Carefully stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. 
  5. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan. If you feel like, sprinkle some oats on top. 
  6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The bread is ready when a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. You want to get that beautiful orange/gold color on the cake, but at the same time you don’t want to bake all the moisture out of it.

We all scream for ice cream, but sometimes you need a way to satisfy your sweet tooth without all the extra calories and sugar.  

Packed with nutritious ingredients and a boost of protein powder, this Banana Split Smoothie is not only a delightful indulgence but also a smart choice for your health and fitness goals.

This Banana Split Smoothie recipe takes the best elements of this beloved dessert and transforms them into a refreshing and nutritious smoothie. Whether you’re starting your day on a high note or looking for a post-workout treat, this Banana Split Smoothie is the perfect way to indulge your senses while nourishing your body. 

Bananas are not only a great source of natural sugars for energy, but they also contain essential vitamins and minerals like potassium and vitamin C. Cacao not only provides a rich chocolate taste but also offers antioxidants and may contribute to heart health.

So, bust out your blender and treat yourself to a guilt-free Banana Split Smoothie that satisfies your cravings and fuels your body. 

NOTES

  • We used a fresh banana but you can sub frozen and use less ice if you prefer.  
  • This recipe is sweetened with one date, but you can sub maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, or skip the sweetener all together. 
  • If you want a more chocolatey smoothie, add more cacao powder. 
  • If you like peanut butter (who doesn’t?) we recommend drizzling peanut butter into your glass for an extra decadent smoothie 
  • Makes 1 serving 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Blend all the ingredients until smooth, adding as much ice as needed to get the desired consistency. 
  2. Garnish with toppings of your choice such as cherries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, or peanut syrup.

Pancakes for breakfast? Count us in! 

These Protein Pancakes are sweet, dense, packed with protein, and gluten-free! They come out fluffy and delicious. Just add a little butter, some fruit, a spoonful of yogurt, or maple syrup for a decadent, guilt-free breakfast! 

NOTES: 

  • NeoraFit Plant-Based Protein Powder has a slightly sweet natural vanilla flavor, so with bananas, you likely won’t need to add any sweetener.  
  • If you like cinnamon, add a little cinnamon to the batter! 
  • Blending the eggs and bananas first can make it easier for your blender to process the oats. 
  • These pancakes freeze and refrigerate well. Reheat by microwaving for about 30 seconds.  

Makes 6-8 pancakes 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender & blend until smooth.

This Pineapple Turmeric Smoothie is so refreshing! It’s perfect for springtime or summer.  

While this smoothie tastes like dessert and may even remind you of an Orange Julius, it’s a nourishing powerhouse of a smoothie with all-star ingredients! Pineapple, turmeric, and ginger are all packed with vitamins, and nutrients, and contain compounds with a slew of health benefits.  

See below for some of the nutritional benefits of pineapple, ginger, and turmeric. 

Pineapple benefits: 

  • Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C, which plays a vital role in immune function, skin health, and wound healing. 
  • It contains an enzyme called bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce pain and swelling. 
  • Pineapple is a good source of dietary fiber, which can help regulate digestion, reduce constipation, and improve overall gut health. 
  • It is also a rich source of antioxidants, which can help protect against oxidative stress. 
  • Pineapple contains compounds called polyphenols, which may have beneficial effects on heart health by reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels. 

Turmeric benefits: 

  • Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. 
  • It has been found to have a positive effect on brain health, potentially improving memory and reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline. 
  • Turmeric may also help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, with some studies showing it to be as effective as prescription medications. 
  • It has been found to have beneficial effects on digestive health. 

Ginger benefits: 

  • Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and swelling in the body. 
  • It can also help alleviate nausea and vomiting. 
  • Ginger has been found to have a positive effect on digestion, stimulating the production of digestive juices and enzymes that can help reduce bloating, gas, and constipation. 
  • It has antibacterial and antiviral properties that can help boost the immune system. 
  • Ginger has also been linked to lower levels of cholesterol and blood sugar, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes. 

NOTES

  • We used frozen pineapple and a fresh banana, but you can switch to fresh pineapple and a frozen banana, or add ice if using all fresh ingredients.  

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth.  
  2. Serve & enjoy!
