Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana "Ice Cream"


I have been wanting to get on and blog again for awhile, but it seems I rarely have a computer, internet access, and camera all at the same time. If I keep waiting for that to happen it may be quite sometime before I write again. I love pictures...but unfortunately I am not a mom that takes constant pictures. My kids will be well documented thanks to their many aunts and uncles. I call my sister Caroline my personal photographer. Most of the really good photos I've posted are her work...the other ones are just uploaded from my phone. Someday...when kids, diapers, and housework don't take up most of my time and energy I hope to enjoy taking and editing photos!

I wanted to share an amazing healthy summer dessert! (I can't write this without admitting I am at Panera eating a brownie. There is a time and season for every activity under heaven, right?!) All you need to make this ice cream like dessert is cocoa powder, peanut butter, and bananas.



 My sister-in-law gave me this idea so I came up with my own measurements. You can play with if you like more or less of one of the flavors. This is what I did!

2 bananas, sliced and frozen
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
3 Tbsp natural peanut butter

You just stick it in the blender until it is smooth and creamy and viola! You have a healthy chocolate peanut butter and banana ice cream! If you like it a little sweeter use RIPENED bananas or for a mellower flavor use bananas that are just ripe.

I hope you enjoy this little treat as much as I do!
