Yesterday, I went to the store and got two bunches of bananas. I knew that we would only be home for 5 days before leaving for Ohio, but I figured we could handle it.
As of this afternoon, we only have four bananas left...out of at least 10.
So, what do we do with all of these bananas?
Well, this morning, I had a banana in my oatmeal. Colt had a mashed up banana for a snack. Charlotte and Matt shared a banana- laden protein shake. And... we all had delicious cups of banana ice cream.
Banana ice cream is, by far, my favorite evening treat. It is super yummy, and super easy to make. Besides all of that, it only has about one hundred and eighty calories, and zero sugar.
Banana Ice Cream
1 Bananas
1/2 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
2 Table Spoons of Organic whipped cream. (Real Whipped Cream is only one ingredient away from being plastic.
Directions: 5 or six hours beforehand, peel, slice and freeze 3 medium bananas.
When well frozen, put bananas, almond milk, and cocoa powder into the blender. Blend until smooth. (Think, frosty texture.)
Pour into your favorite mug, and top with organic whipped cream. Seriously, don't eat the real stuff. It's disgusting.
This recipe makes one serving.
Besides their obvious deliciousness, bananas have a lot of health benefits. They have tons of potassium, which your body NEEDS to function properly.
When I was on vacation this year, I went a few days without any bananas. By day three, I was waking up with the worst charlie- horses I'd ever had. I knew it was diet related, so I asked Charlotte for advice...
Her recommendation that I eat a few bananas really did the trick!
So, eat a banana...fell better...be thankful!
