YOUR GO-TO SUMMER PINK DRINK LOW ON THE CARBS AND SUGAR-FREE When Mrs. CBB made her way to Starbucks on the way home from a recent trip she decided to try their popular pink drink known as the Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refresher but keto style. In all honesty she had no idea what she was about to order but the barista was very helpful and together they created a sugar-free Passion-Fruit Strawberry Pink Drink made with coconut milk. Now that the warm weather is officially here we thought no better way to celebrate than to make the expensive grande $6.20 Starbucks Pink Drink at home. This will obviously be a huge savings to the Starbucks Pink Drink lover and for anyone who wants to control the amount of sugar and carbs they are getting in their diet. Before we started our keto pink drink we put our large fancy glasses in the freezer to frost them up. Nothing better than a cold, frosty drink in a frosty mug. Right? Ingredients for Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refresher (these are the original ingredients) Ice, Strawberry Acai Base [Water, Sugar, White Grape Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Natural Green Coffee Flavor, Fruit […]

This week we decided to make keto crepes for everyone to enjoy at home but without the gluten and sugar. Breakfast is typically something easy in our family which also includes pancakes, french toast or waffles. These beauties are my version of low-carb, keto crepes British-style however the only British in this recipe is the guy that makes them. I’m no stranger to making crepes though. Growing up in the UK we ate more crepes than we did pancakes so I’m familiar with this French cuisine thanks to my mum.

Chunky Monkey Chocolate Chip Banana Brownies
WE’RE GOING BANANAS BAKING CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BROWNIES! All you’ll need to make these moist chunky monkey chocolate chip banana brownies are two beautifully ripe bananas. There always seems to be extra bananas in our house that have passed their perfectly ripe point which means we add it to our banana freezer stash. Most of you probably do the same, right? These chocolate chip banana brownies are a balanced blend of a cake-like fudgy brownie texture throughout the pan. To be honest these are the perfect sweet snack to make and they are inexpensive. They are comparable to banana bread bars loaded with chocolate chips but I’ve added a secret ingredient, Greek Yogurt.

Eat Me or Leave Me When it comes time to bake we know if bananas are in the recipe, we’ve got them so don’t toss them out thinking they are rotten.
