📝 Real Talk: This Bowl Saved My Afternoons
I started making this during my “afternoon energy crash” phase, when I’d stare blankly at the fridge at 3 p.m. debating snacks I’d later regret. I threw this together once—half a banana, a dollop of peanut butter, and some seeds from the back of the pantry. It was creamy, sweet, crunchy… and oddly satisfying. Now I use it as a 2-minute breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a lazy dinner when I want something nourishing but minimal.
