Everybody’s going bananas lately.
Gina, Marisa, Sahar, and Brittany have all been monkeying around with frozen banana sensations over the last few weeks.
Maybe it’s because they know that in addition to a nice dose of potassium bananas pack 3-4 grams of fiber, are moderately low on the glycemic index, and are only about 100 calories. Or maybe it’s because they just know what tastes refreshing and what’s easy to make?
But I wonder if they know that the inside of the banana peel contains a ton of nutrients? To reap some additional benefits from your bananas just scrape down the inside of the peel and blend it into your favorite homemade ice creams and smoothies.
Anywho, now it’s my turn to give frozen banana ice cream the ole Fitness & Spice twist.
Here’s how you make…
Unchunky Monkey Soft Serve Ice Cream
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 T or more of peanut butter or PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
- 2 T chocolate protein powder (like Protein Freeze)
Blend the banana in the Vitamix (or blender) to your desired consistency. Toss into a bowl and fold in the peanut butter and protein powder.
You’re welcome.
Now I really must grab a quick bowl of Joanna Banana soft serve before I split.
