Budget Tip: Freeze Over-Ripe Bananas - Ripe Bananas have more sugar and are much sweeter. They go well in smoothies to give a natural sweetness and also thickness to your drink. Make sure not to waste them. Frozen bananas cost a ton of money but buying fresh bananas is incredibly cheap. Anytime you’ve over bought, simply freeze and blend with fruit and milk OR peanut butter powder, sugar-free cocoa and milk to create a delicious fruit smoothie or peanut butter chocolate milkshake.
For some of my other favorite weight loss, friendly desserts see video below. This was one of my first videos I ever posted. It’s a bit cringe in terms of video quality, but the information is good. I promise these recipes are some of the best you’ll ever see.

I made some of My Favorite Homemade Cinnamon Rolls today!!! 😋
https://youtu.be/z4YoDAH1Y5w?si=2MkvM...
I make these all the time. Whenever my husband and I are craving cinnamon rolls I make these because they’re much healthier. Homemade is always healthier but these happen to have quite a bit of protein and much less sugar than most other cinnamon rolls. These will leave you feeling satisfied, but not disgusted with yourself for eating such a high sugar treat. This was one of the first recipes. I shared on my channel, but I know some of you are new, so I thought I would share it with you.

On my latest video, I have two thumbnails associated with it, but the one with me standing in front of the water is a real picture that I took with my camera and used it to create a thumbnail. When I was looking at it in hindsight, it almost looks like it’s AI because it is so perfect! But it is an actual picture of Lake Erie in Ohio in Marblehead that I took with my camera. And the original picture my husband was actually standing there, but I created the thumbnail with me in the front of that same picture just because it was so gorgeous. So you’ll have to go check out the video.
Both photos are in fact, real pictures and no AI in fact. It’s just that that picture I took of the water almost looks fake because it’s so perfect, but it is in fact real. I’m very proud of that picture. It was a very nice picture that I took with my camera. The other picture is actually a picture in my grandmother‘s house. It’s an old picture and I have blurred out my Dad and I and p
Placed a current photo of myself in front, in her house. So both are in fact, real pictures they’re not AI at all.

It’s tempting to buy what you want without a care in the world. You only live once! Right? So why should we bother with frugal living anyway? Check out my new video and join the discussion.
