Tasty Tuesday

Did you know...frozen Bananas make a delicious ice cream?  With a consistency like soft serve and the nutrition of a fruit, this sweet treat is a summer must!  And it couldn't be easier to make!

First, here is how to make the 'Basic' ice cream:

Banana Ice Cream:

Ingredients (serves 1)

• 1 frozen banana (slice before freezing)

Instructions

• Place the frozen banana slices into a food processor. Process until the banana turns white, fluffy and very smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl every so often.

You can take the basic recipe and add in any of your favorites, such as:

• Unsweetened Cocoa
• Natural Peanut or Almond Butter
• Frozen Pineapple (mix in with the banana while processing it)
• Any fresh fruit that's in season (peaches are yummy right now!)
• Dark Chocolate Chips
• Add anything you wish!

I like to get my son excited for his 'ice cream' by having him help me make it.  He loves to know he made his own ice cream and his mommy likes knowing it's good for him!
