Banana and egg pancakes 

by John Fisher

This is one of my favorite recipes because it contains no flour and no added sugars, making it perfect for my diabetic diet. Plus, it tastes great!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 2 large eggs
• Olive or coconut oil (for frying) or non-stick spray (if using a waffle maker)
• Maple syrup (for topping)
• Cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mash the banana: In a bowl, mash the banana until it becomes smooth with just a few small lumps.
2. Whisk the eggs: Crack the two eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Add cinnamon for added taste if you choose.
3. Cook the pancakes:
   • For frying: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. Pour small portions of the batter onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
   • For waffle maker: Preheat the waffle maker and lightly coat it with non-stick spray. Pour the batter into the waffle maker and cook according to the waffle maker's instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes) until golden brown.
4. Serve: Top with maple syrup and enjoy!

Everyone is looking for a simple fast and healthy meal replacement or snack.   Now-a-days most products that are easy are loaded with preservatives and ingredients that most people can't read.

D'Vida makes great party drinks as well.  If you love Pina Coladas, your guest will rave over the VideBOOST (Pineapple and Coconut) with fresh strawberries and bananas.   These Pina Coladas would make a great drink for bookclub, baby shower or throw them in a mug and drink them while watching your favorite football team play.  

These smoothies are so easy to make.  Open a sachet and add ice and water and blend.  For a different flavor or for more of a variety add your favorite fruit.  

I recently tried D'Vida Pre-made smoothies.  I was actually impressed with the flavor, it actually tasted like the real stuff.  I decided when I tried the smoothies to opt out of adding any ingredients to my drink so I could get the pouches original flavors.   I was very impressed.  I didn't feel like I needed to add anything.  You may enjoy adding more ingredients to get more fruit and vegetable servings but it isn't necessary.  My absolute favorite smoothie was the VidaBOOST which consists of pineapple and coconut.  There were actual coconut flakes in it.  It was amazing.  When I had finished drinking it I wished I could open another because the flavor was so good.   It did in fact leave me feeling fuller and better.  I drank it after exercising and found it helped give me another boost and left me feeling satisfied.


I was also impressed with D'Vida's different options.  You can purchase D'Vida VidaBOOST (pineapple and coconut),  VidaGREEN (cucumber, kale, green apple and spinach), VidaPUMP (Peanut butter and strawberry) and VidaSLIM (strawberry and banana).  Drink a smoothie based on your needs for the day and what you are trying to accomplish for your health.

D'Vida has also made purchasing simple and easy.   It is available to order on Amazon.   Grab yours today and start on a path to a better you.
