Happy Friday! Let’s jump right in to today’s Friday Five!
ONE | Have you been watching American Idol this season? I haven’t watched it in several years, but have loved this season so far. One of the worship leaders at my church, Manny Torres, is competing this season and so far he has received tons of air time and praise from the judges. Spoiler alert: he makes it to the top 24 so be sure to watch and vote for him!
TWO | I can’t remember if I’ve posted about these before, but next time you’re at Trader Joe’s you MUST pick up some of these almonds! They are SO good!
THREE | I tried one of these new Clif Bars this week and it was really good! The Kit’s Organic bars are gluten free, soy free, and dairy free and made from all healthy ingredients. Definitely a good snack to have on hand.
FOUR | During the Purdue/Minnesota basketball game this week AJ Hammons lost his shoe and picked it up so was holding a shoe in one hand while still playing. He managed to still grab a one handed rebound which was awesome and hilarious at the same time. I saw this on the Purdue Men’s Basketball Twitter account and thought it was pretty funny.
FIVE | I’ve been loving banana “ice cream” as a treat lately. Frozen banana + almond milk + peanut butter = perfection!
Have a great weekend!
Linking up with Christina, April, Karli, Heather, Erika, and Andrea.

The banana ice cream sounds delicious! I sometimes blend up frozen fruit with water for my girls and they love it. They are convinced it’s ice cream. My littlest loves it with greens but my 5 year old won’t even try it. I am going to give your recipe a shot and see how it goes.
Happy Friday!

Perfect way to sneak some veggies in for your kiddos!

Oh my dark chocolate anything and I’m hooked!
Paige says
Me too – I’m a huge dark chocolate fan!
Cayanne Marcus @healthyezsweet says
Heck yes to the banana ice cream! I would add those chocolate almonds right on top of it 😉
Paige says
Umm that’s pretty much genius! Definitely doing that next time!
Terra Heck says
I haven’t watched this season of American Idol. Kudos to your worship leader. We don’t have a Trader Joe’s located where I live.
Paige says
Manny’s awesome! You google him and watch his group performance from this week.

I’ll have to try out the Kit’s bars! Didn’t realize what they were.
Banana ice cream is one of my favorites. I love it with homemade chocolate magic shell on top!
Paige says
Ohh that sounds so good! Chocolate + banana is a great combo!
