spinach banana yogurt smoothie 

1 ripe banana (frozen but if not, just add some ice instead) 

1/3 cup greek yogurt

large handfuls spinach (like 2 cups)? 

some water or milk to thin it out 

blend everything together but start with the frozen banana and spinach with some water/milk because they’re the hardest to blend

oatmeal lemon bars 

(not a flaky buttery crust vibe because there’s no butter lol but a very creamy, chewy ~indulgent~ kind of lemon bar) 

crust

1 1/4 oat flour 

1 tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp salt 

3 tbsp avocado oil

2 tbsp maple syrup 

a few tbsp water 

lemon filling 

1/2 cup maple syrup 

1/2 cup oat flour 

1/3 cup lemon juice (juice from 2 lemons) 

4 eggs 

a pinch of salt 

preheat oven to 180C

mix the ingredients for the cup and add a few tbsps of water, enough to make the dough come together but not too sticky 

lay the crust mixture on a baking pan and flatten it out with fingers 

bake for 10~12 mins and let cool while making the filing

beat the eggs and mix well with the rest of the filling ingredients 

pour the filling mixture on top of the crust

bake for 35~45 mins or until the filling is set/not runny 

cool for 1 hour and then store in fridge in an airtight container (makes around 12 pretty sizable lemon bars)
