  Coconut Banana Crunch Muffins a great way to use up overripe bananas and are a wonderful breakfast with a sweet banana muffin base and crunchy coconut top!

I realized that if I replaced a few slices of bread a day, I could make room for things like greens, fresh fruits, legumes, and that I would be getting more nutrients from the same amount of calories. Light bulb moment. Now, that isn’t to say that my love affair with bread ended there. Oh no. When I moved to Denmark four years ago I fell head-over-heels for bread all over again, except this time, it wasn’t light and fluffy – it was kind of like the

However, nowadays it is very hard to take proper care of ourselves by consuming home-cooked and healthy meals. We eat fast food and other unhealthy foods more than often which can be devastating for our bodies, especially for the liver. Our liver must be protected at all times since its work is vital for us.
