Mom’s Classic Banana Bread/Muffins

Normally, I aim for healthy recipes but I’m a real pushover when it comes to the holidays. There are some goodies that I just can’t live without—like banana bread. I’m a banana-fanatic (try saying that fast five times). We always have bananas in the house, and I’m sure like most of you, I usually have a few that ripen beyond any repair. But don’t throw those babies out! They’re in perfect condition for this banana bread recipe. Toss them in the freezer, and save them for a time when you can bake some yummy, moist banana bread or banana muffins.

Chile Colorado

This authentic Mexican meal has a history of long-held tradition and is tied in with local folklore. It also happens to be easy to make. Every time I go home, it’s on my shortlist of home-cooked must-haves.

Chile Colorado is considered good luck (much like menudo). It’s usually reserved for holidays and special occasions, but it’s also known to cure colds and hangovers. Your friends and family will love the tradition and the flavor!

Smoothie: AdvoCare Chia Avocado

As you know, I don’t start the day without my AdvoCare. Wonderful products like Catalyst help my body before and after my daily runs, and OmegaPlex helps to keep my immune system strong. Another one of my other favorite products is the Meal Replacement Shakes. They are filled with so many vitamins and nutrients and are the must-have product for anyone on the go. However, as a self-proclaimed chef, I like to take mine a step further. Here’s one of my favorite smoothies. Try it today, and let me know if it becomes one of your faves, too!

Juice: Cinnamon Apple Spice

One of the best things about this time of year is the rich use of spices, and I can’t get enough of tasty cinnamon. But did you know that cinnamon doesn’t just taste amazing, it also helps lower bad cholesterol? This fall, try my spice-filled concoction, and enjoy the flavors that complement the crisp weather change as the wonderful hues that turn to golden brown.

Smoothie: AdvoCare Carrot Spice

I live for this time of year—hayrides, corn mazes, costumes, and carving pumpkins! And for those of us who enjoy coffee, it’s Pumpkin Spice Latte time as well.

So each year, this question kept coming up: How do I partake in the festivities without having to tackle the extra pounds with New Year’s resolutions? The answer: AdvoCare Carrot Spice Smoothie. Today on The Monday Menu, enjoy the taste of the holidays without feeling guilty!
