                Ingredients

                • 1 cup oob organic frozen banana
                • 1/2 cup oob organic NEW Smoothie Mix Supercharge (kale, kiwifruit, apple, mint)
                • 1/2 cup spinach /silverbeet/kale
                • 1/3 cup water
                • 1 tbsp chia seeds
                • 2 tbsp / 1/8 avocado (optional)
                • 1/8 tsp spirulina (optional)
                • Toppings
                • Fresh kiwifruit (diced), more smoothie mix, mint and chia seeds

                Method

                1. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender for 30 seconds until super smooth, scraping down the edges after 20 seconds as needed
                2. Top to your heart’s content! I love using some more smoothie mix alongside some extra chia seeds and mint personally. You could also add some granola or nuts/seeds to make it extra filling.Notes:
                  The avocado is optional, it gives a slightly creamier texture and taste, but the bowl is still delicious without (even more fruity and refreshing!).
                  The chia seeds are also optional, but help to keep the bowl nice and thick especially if you’re taking it on the run.
                  The spirulina is optional, but adds extra nutrients such as protein and iron. Instead you could also add chlorella, your favourite greens powder blend, or even matcha powder.
                  Use whatever dark leafy greens you have available (or in the garden) – spinach, silverbeet, and kale all work well.

                      Ingredients

                      Makes 12. Takes 15 minutes + overnight to set

                      Cream Layer

                      • 400mL coconut cream
                      • 2 tbsp liquid sweetener (eg brown rice malt syrup / coconut nectar)
                      • 1 tsp guar gum (optional)

                      Mango Layer

                      • 3 cups oob organic frozen mango
                      • 2 tbsp liquid sweetener
                      • 1/2 tsp guar gum (optional)

                      Method

                      1. Blend cream ingredients on high until super smooth, set aside 1/4 c of the mix, then pour remainder into a lined square tin and place in the freezer for 20 minutes
                      2. Blend mango ingredients with the remaining 1/4 c coconut cream, then pour onto the cream layer (once it’s set sufficiently)
                      3. Freeze overnight, slice into bars and serve.
                        Notes: The guar gum is optional, so you can make without and they’ll still taste delicious, but I’d recommend using it if you can, as it helps to give a traditional creamy ice cream texture, rather than them turning icy.
                        For some extra zing, try some mixing a couple of tablespoons of passionfruit pulp into the mango layer before before layering

                          banana split freakshake!

                          Whether you are looking healthy dessert ideas or want to take your post workout snack to the next level, this one’s for you! This recipe has been created by Amanda, one of our fans here in Omaha!


                          This dairy free freakshake combines classic flavour combinations of banana, caramel, nuts and chocolate. It’s packed with fibre and 41g of protein per serve, plus all the goodness of oob organic bananas, with the option to indulge in a drizzle of toasty coconut caramel to complete the picture.

                          We went dairy free for this one but you can alternate with delicious organic dairy milk + yogurt options which is really tasty too. Make the batches of brownie bites and coconut caramel ahead of time, these can be kept in fridge until you are ready to construct your organic freakshake.

                          Reduce wasting fresh bananas by keeping some oob organic frozen banana in your freezer, and just use only what you need when you’re in the mood for a Caramel Banana Split Freakshake.


                          Banana Nut Smoothie Makes 2 servings

                          2. Chill serving glasses in fridge. Melt 4 squares of dark chocolate and 1 tsp of coconut oil for the garnish. Using a spoon, drip melted chocolate around the rim of chilled glass before coating in dessicated coconut. Drip melted chocolate onto the inside of the glass for decoration.
                          3. Prepare your Banana-Nut Smoothie divide this into the two garnished glasses. Pop these in fridge as you prepare your nice cream.
                          4. Prepare your Banana Nice Cream, and place a good dollop of this on top of the Banana-Nut Smoothie as desired. Balance a brownie bite on the edge of the glass, using some caramel or melted chocolate to secure.
                          5. Time to bring this bad boy home… drizzle with coconut caramel and finish with some chopped nuts of your choice (we used 3 x organic raw almonds).
                          6. The nice cream will start melting into the smoothie along with the caramel and it’s all deliciousness. Devour immediately.

                                • 1/2 c cashews soaked
                                • 1/4 c water

                                1. Base: In a food processor or high speed blender, blend all base ingredients, excluding dates, until finely chopped. Then add the dates and blend again until you can press the mix together in your fingers and it sticks. Pour into a lined baking tin, press until firmly packed and flat, then place in the freezer to set.

                                2. Raspberry layer: Blend the raspberry layer ingredients in a blender or processor until fully combined and like a liquid. Pour on the base and spread to flatten, then place in the freezer.

                                3. Topping: Blend all topping ingredients except the coconut oil and shredded coconut in a high speed blender until silky smooth, scraping down the sides and blending again as needed. Then, while on low, add the melted coconut oil, and blend again on high until smooth. Add the shredded coconut, pulse, then spread carefully on the jam layer. Sprinkle the coconut flakes on top, and place in the freezer for a few hours to set, or in the fridge overnight.

                                4. Remove, slice, and enjoy! Keeps in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for 2 months.

                                  • 185g medjool dates, pitted

                                  • 1 tsp maca powder (optional, trust me though…it’s fab with chocolate)!
                                  • 1/4 cup oob organic frozen raspberries
                                  • 2 tbsp cacao powder
                                  • 1 tbsp cacao nibs
                                  • Good pinch of pink Himalayan salt
                                  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder

                                  For the cheesecake

                                  • 1 cup raw cashews soaked for 6 hours
                                  • 1 cup almond milk
                                  • 1/3 cup cacao powder
                                  • 1/4 cup rice malt syrup
                                  • 4 medjool dates, pitted
                                  • 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
                                  • 1 tsp Vanilla powder
                                  • tsp maca powder (optional)
                                  • Pinch of pink Himalayan salt

                                  Method

                                  For the brownie

                                  1. Start with preparing your base. Line a loaf pan (22x12 cm) with grease proof paper.
                                  2. In a food processor combine the ingredients for the base reserving a handful of raspberries to press into the base. I like the odd bit of texture but it should start to stick together in the processor bowl.
                                  3. Once you have reached your desired consistency, place into your prepared tray and press in the reserved raspberries.
                                  4. Put your brownie into the fridge while you make the cheesecake topping.

                                  Top layer (compote)

                                  1. Rinse and drain your soaked cashews
                                  2. Place them in your processor (no need to wash in between layers), with the rest of the ingredients. Process until smooth and creamy, you can also use a blender.
                                  3. Pour the cheesecake topping over the brownie and into the freezer to set, if you are wanting to eat it straight away.
                                  4. This makes quite a lot of cheesecake topping as it’s better made in larger quantities, I froze the remaining topping to use later. If not, you can let it set overnight in the fridge. Once set, slice into 9 bars and decorate with cacao nibs and extra organic raspberries. .Note: these are yummy frozen too! Sort of like an ice cream sandwich.
