These look amazing, and l love how simple the recipe is! I can’t wait to try! I always love reading about blogging, fitness, food, and beauty tips!
Thanks for the feedback, Becky. I’m never sure whether I should continue with blogging tips or if it makes sense on the blog but love writing and sharing those posts?! I just started with the beauty tips and I’m looking forward to continuing that 🙂 thank you!
I am trying my best to live a healthy lifestyle. I started running
a few years ago at 52. I want to continue to maintain my weightloss
by making healthy choices such as learning from your vegan recipes.
My goal is to stay well and fit so that I can keep running joyfully. I enjoy all
of your wellness management and fitness support. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Cyndi! That’s a wonderful goal! I need to start running more, it is such a great way to stay in shape and manage stress. I used to run a lot more but now that I’m more into CrossFit, I’ve kinda let it slide. Thanks again for the input, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my posts.
I love your blog, especially your amazing recipes, fitness tips, all things related to travel. But food is my passion! Thanks for inspiring me to live a healthier life!
Thank you so much for saying that, Holli. I love to hear that and it motivates me to keep blogging! Thanks for the comment 🙂
I love your blog and most recently your re-vamp – looks great! (Although I’m not sure how new it is :/ I’ve been offline for a little bit sorry!) I’m allllll about your food and travel, that recent Thailand post had me dreaming! Keep spreading the love 🙂
Hi Holly! I have to finish up my Thailand posts, I have a few more stories to tell! Thanks for the feedback on the blog, it’s still pretty new so I’m glad to hear you like it!

Ooh, banana bread in raw, bite-size form? Yes please! *scarfs them down*
Thanks so much, Meredeth. I really appreciate all your thoughtful comments, it means a lot. …you don’t have to tell me about scarfing..hahah!
Totes trying this with peanut butter!
Oh, they’d be awesome with PB too!! Obviously! PB + Banana..best ever!
Vegan food, food to fuel athlete during training / fitness and wellness
Xx
Thanks for the feedback, Zandi. I’m working on a post about vegan sports nutrition, so you can stay tuned for that!
1 2 and 3. Love ur bite recipes
Banana bread <3 Portable!
Hi Deryn,
I LOVE your site!! It was the 1st site I fiubd that had WONDERFUL, easy recipies for real, whe food!! I think the best thing you post is all the amazing recipies!!! And they’re soooo good!!
If you’re wanting to expand, my next choice would be wellness, travel & blogging, since I’m going to be traveling the wound & I neec to learn how to blog. But I think also, recipies for natural face/body treatments would be great!
You’re awesome & your website & recipes are amazing!!! Keep it up 🙂
Oops, should have checked my spelling before posting!! Found, whole, need. Those were the correct words.
Thank you SOOO much for the encouragement, it means so much to hear that people are enjoying my posts. I loved writing about travel so it’s good to hear some people liked the travel posts. I like doing the blogging posts too, so that’s great that you would find them useful. Thanks so much for the comment 🙂 happy travel planning!!!
These banana bread balls look absolutely fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Deryn. For some reason, bananas tend to get ripe REALLY fast in Melbourne – I’m not sure if it’s the weather or anything. But it usually means we have to eat them in a few days or less. I think making them into bread will curb their ripening, in a good way 🙂 AWESOME!

1,2 and 4. I would love more posts on meditation. These banana balls look so yummy!
Oh yes, I’ve been meaning to post again about meditation! Thanks for the reminder! 🙂
I’m always looking for quick nut-based snacks and these look PERFECT! I love that they have almonds and walnuts 🙂 NOM NOM!
Super NOMS. And you can easily sub out the nut butter and nuts for you own preference. They’d be awesome with PB + peanuts too! Or any other nut combo you can come up with!
Love love love your blog girl! I too prefer to keep things simpler in the kitchen so definitely keep those recipes coming! Salads, energy balls,, burgers, deserts, you name it – I want it in my belly! Also, loving the wellness section so much, your images, quotes and personal thoughts/ideas/tips are great. I often look through your personal wellness section simply to center, calm and brighten my day. As someone mentioned above, some more meditation content would be nice but I just love it all! Also really dig the product review! I trust your judgement so it helps me skip a step in figuring it all out for myself – case in point – those earbuds you reviewed! I want! The ones I wanted didn’t ship to me though, hoping to find them elsewhere. Lastly – the traveling. Great pics and it’s awesome to hear your experiences… I could go on, but these are the things that I love most on your blog!
I was recently looking to change up my work out routine since I had finished a three month program, and I found a few I loved on your blog! I also love all of your quick and easy snacks, like this recipe right here. So my top three would be
1. Fitness and Workouts
2. Vegan Recipes
3. Beauty and Self-Care Tips
Yum, I always love date balls!
And I like reading about your recipes, travel and fitness/workouts!
Recipes, fitness /workouts, and wellness! Love your stuff! Thanks so much!
I’ve been LOVING all your recipes lately. So I say that 100% and I’d love product reviews because you are Canadian!! !
This looks awesome. I often make chocolate balls made of dates, coconut oil, chia seeds and nuts, but this is a good variation 🙂
And of course also cacao! 😉
I love your workout posts!
Hi! I’d choose:
1) WELLNESS – because i’m suffering from a rare autoimmune disease and so i’m very interested in everything about health and AIP ;
2) beauty and self-care tips;
3) blogging;
I’d like much Products Reviews too, but i’m from Italy (rome) and i’m afraid american products would not be available in italian shops;
Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for the recipe! I’m new to raw foods and appreciate you sharing your experience.
I am most interested in Recipes, Product Reviews and Wellness
Hello,
Don’t suppose you have rough nutritional information/calories for these? I made them yesterday and they turned out great! So yummy 🙂 I’m just worried that they are going to push me over my calorie/sugar intake….
★★★★★
1, 3, 7 please 🙂
Oh and macro counting I love that!!!!
I make your food everyday!!!!!
I’m going to make these today! They look great! Keep those raw recipes coming – especially ones without need of dehydrating. Thank you!
