Description

This post is sponsored by Karuna Drinks. All opinions are of my own.

Up until last year I always proclaimed that summer was my favorite season. I do LOVE the long sunny warm days summer has to offer. But Fall has won me over. One reason being is that fall represents gratitude. How so? Because it’s the time of year where the harvest is full representing the abundance Mother Nature has to offer. What better way to bring in the harvest season than with warm sweet banana bread.

 

Pre vegan I never ate banana bread. In fact it was my baby sister who bugged me into making it. “Gina I have very ripe bananas can you make some banana bread for me, please!?” Being the awesome big sister I am I agreed so you gals and guys have my sister to thank for recipe. What make this vegan banana bread special is the use of spelt flour and Karuna’s Divine Three Drink.

Karuna’s Divine Three Blend (High Protein and Complex Carbohydrate)

I like to consume Karuna’s Divine Three Drink during an during a HITT cardio session to keep me fueled throughout the intense workout. It contains a good source of protein and carbohydrates two key components in recovering in any workout. Karuna Drinks always come with integrity in their drinks meaning the nutrition is bioavailable for absorption and ethnically sourced; friendly on the environment. The two main ingredients are black soybeans and quinoa flour.

  1. Black Soybeans: You probably are familiar with soybeans but never heard of black soybeans before. Black soybeans are much harder to find. The bean is native to China, organically grown, and GMO free. (Source: Very Well All About Black Soy Beans) Outside it’s rich protein content, black soybeans are also a good source of complex carbohydrates and low in fat. Because of it’s black color, it’s an indicator that it contains a high amount of antioxidants (Source: Karuna Fuel)
  2. Quinoa Flour: Quinoa is a seed that is eaten as a grain. Because it is not a grain it’s naturally free from gluten and great for those who might be sensitive in digesting grains. Quinoa contains all 9 essential amino acids (plant based protein power!!)

Curve Building Spelt Flour

Spelt flour is considered an ancient grain believe to have been first used over 7,000 years ago (Source: 8 Surprising Benefits of Spelt) It’s my favorite grain to use for baking because of it’s nutty texture and earthy flavor. Spelt is a very popular staple among Alkaline/Plant Based Vegans. Spelt does contain gluten but in lower amounts. Still if you have a serious gluten intolerance or Celic disease, it’s best to avoid all together. Some other benefits include:

It’s a healthy complex carbohydrate and a great source of plant based protein (amino acids).

Rich in minerals like zinc, iron, copper, and magnesium.

Because of its high iron and copper levels, eating spelt benefits blood circulation.

Spelth has a high content of fiber so it can aid in healthy digestion.

Use RIPE Bananas!

Make sure your bananas are really really REALLY ripe. The riper the bananas, the more banana flavor you will have and the easier it will be to mash. So don’t throw out those old bananas! Let them get good and brown! Eat this banana bread for breakfast with almond butter and hot cocoa, or serve as a quick protein, complex carb fueled snack in between lunch and dinner.

Thank you Karuna Drinks for helping me bring this recipe to life!
