Summer is just around the corner and what a better time than to test out new tasty recipes! Of course these recipes are unique. They all are healthy options and make some meals yummier, or can count as a meal themselves. Plus, they all contain one common ingredient – bananas.

Bananas are one of the yummiest fruits out there, they’re refreshing at times and are jam packed with nutrition. Some of the great benefits of bananas include: protecting against muscles cramps, being high in potassium and fiber, and helps control blood sugar levels. So why not try out some new recipes, specifically with bananas in them!

Banana Pancakes 

Cassey Ho of “Blogilates” on YouTube released a video in 2012 about a two-ingredient pancake recipe. You heard that right, two ingredients. Two eggs and one banana is all it took to make a massive amount of healthy, and delicious, pancakes.

They’re a great dairy free, gluten free, breakfast or lunch option! Banana pancakes are roughly 250 calories each, and have a whopping 14g of protein! Pair them up with some yummy berries and that’s one tasty looking meal.

So many of us are guilty of cheating on those around us with technology. As I type this, and as you read this, we’re using technology and ignoring the beautiful people and things around us. The Instagramming, Facebooking, tweeting, and goodness knows what else, have taken over our lives. Many people from the generations before us are shaking their heads at us, commenting that we’re glued to our phones and computers and need to go outside and get a breath of fresh air. We just laugh it off, attributing their reactions to the fact that they grew up in a different era and don’t understand why we use the technology that we do as frequently as we do. But if we really stop and think about their perspective, they might just be on to something. By periodically unplugging ourselves from social media and focusing on the real world around us, we can improve our relationships with others as well as with yourself.

Embarking on a fitness or weight loss journey can be very trying at times, and when you finally reach your goals, it feels like you’ve just finished the school year, meaning that you can finally relax and do nothing right? Wrong! You can’t just sit around now that you’ve achieved your goals because the state that you now have your body in isn’t permanent. Our bodies are dynamic and in constant flux, and you have to act accordingly. So what are you supposed to do to make sure that your body stays in the state you want it to? 

1. Maintain the mindset you’ve had throughout your entire journey

Chances are, you’re really feelin’ yourself now that you’ve reached your goals, and you’re going to want to celebrate and flaunt what you’ve got. By all means flaunt and celebrate, you deserve to! But don’t lose sight of everything you’ve done to get where you’re at. You’ll still need to maintain a healthy exercise regime as well as a healthy diet.

Are you curious if Skinny Teatox actually works? In addition to the thousands of positive customer reviews (average 4.8/5 stars), and the hundreds of before and after pictures our customers send us and post on Instagram, sometimes our fans make YouTube videos about their experience with Skinny Teatox.

Life is stressful. Exams are coming up, final papers are due, you're always late for work, your rents want you to take an advanced course next semester, you need to volunteer more, your college applications are due, and your best friends are begging you to join the yearbook committee even though you're already on the volleyball team and the cheerleading squad.....

We live insanely stressful lives and we hate to admit it, but it's killing us.

Stress is our bodies way of reacting to life. Certain stresses are good for you and essential for living, but others are dragging you down and take a toll on your health. Bad stress can actually lead to severe headaches, upset stomach, sleeping problems, elevated blood pressure and chest pains. Ouch! Even worse, if left unrelieved, stress can lead to serious health issues such as depression, eating disorders, heart disease and stroke.

Stress may feel overwhelming at times, but there are many strategies to help you overcome it.

Here are 12 great ways to reduce stress:

1. Let it go! Start off by identifying your stressors a.k.a figure out what is causing you to sometimes lose-your-cool. Once you can narrow it down, identify the unnecessary stresses in your life and get rid of them. Take a page out of the Elsa's handbook and let it go!

2. Learn to say NO. You may feel obligated to make everyone happy by doing like a million things at once, but the truth is, you really don't. You are soooo much more important than the satisfaction of others. Just do you!
