Dehydrated Banana

Happy 2018 everyone! My 2018 started with a delayed honeymoon to St. Lucia and it was beautiful!!



I hope everyone is looking forward to a healthy 2018 of new recipes, balanced meals, fun workouts, positive relationships, and self-love. It is easy to keep going on the rat race of life, but take time for yourself and find what makes you happy. My goal this year is to have more self-love. Whatever your goal is, write it down and look at it everyday. Feel free to email or message me if you need someone to hold you accountable or need encouragement!

The Recipe Redux's theme for January is to use a new kitchen gadget that you got for Christmas. My husband got me a food dehydrator. We had leftover apples at my family's farm market, so I obviously wanted to make apple chips. On New Years Eve, I opened up my new mandoline slicer and started to slice the apples. But it went down hill from there...I was watching the Eagles game and the mandoline decided to eat my pinky. I had a big chunk out of my pinky and it hurt so bad! So that was enough of the apples and my whole plan of using my dehydrator.

A few weeks later, I decided to try the dehydrator again and bring back St. Lucia memories.  I used bananas from the farm market, that were going bad and about to be trashed. So I saved the bananas' lives!! Dehydrated bananas made me think of St. Lucia., where the island was filled with bananas and we probably ate 4 bananas a day (they are small) either in a delicious tropical drink, dried banana, grilled, or raw banana.  These dehydrated bananas are perfect to snack on with some nuts!
