Banana Freeze

Trying to get away from the sugar? Want a sweet treat that fits into your Paleo plan and isn’t adding items that stretch the Paelo allowances? Here is your treat. Banana Freezes. Guess what, it only has one item. Bananas! It is also a great way to use up bananas that are starting to turn, making it cost effective too. My husband is an ice cream freak and he says this comes as close as you can get to the creaminess of ice cream. Try it out.

Here is what you do:
• Peel & slice into 1” thick slices, very ripe bananas.
• Place slices into a Ziploc bag, and freeze

When you are ready, throw the SLIGHTLY THAWED frozen banana slices into a food processor. Pulse until smooth. You can either serve then (if still slightly frozen) or put back into the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up. Scoop just like ice cream.

Topping suggestions or additions:
• 1 TBSP Almond Butter into the blend for a peanut butter taste
• Top with various berries or reduce berries into a syrup - I just went strawberry
picking and fresh strawberries in a food processor make a nice sauce for this.
• Top with nuts
