Raw Banana Split & Yoga goal

Image
I think I have a pretty amazing data collection of food inspirations if I say so myself o:). OOh may I add a healthy  collection. One that I think could be so delicious, nutritious, appealing, and still not be calorically dense. However the con about that is that I forget what I have accumulated over time. I want to try to knock some off (at least one a week) my virtual to-do list. So I'm kind of having a sweet tooth yet I am too lazy to attempt the other ones that I have: I shall try to recreate a Raw banana split, so maybe watch out for that in a future post. I'm not sure the source of this picture but if it is yours and you'd like it removed please let me know. thank you. But here's how I might try to accomplish my version - soak chia seeds overnight in milk, cut a banana, and slice fruits, sprinkle granola & nuts, and if I had chocolate protein powder I'd mix that with milk or water and kind of use it like chocolate syrup.

I'd rather make my own but a healthier version I was thinking about using protein powder to substitute for flour, but reading about how heat denatures protein made me a little iffy about that... so here's how I made these pancakes :) How I made it: 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/3 coconut flour, 2 tbs, oats, 1/3 cup milk, and with a handful of almonds I threw everthing into my blender.
