Here’s a real treat for when you’re craving ice cream, without all the fat, calories, and added sugar.
It’s my version of frozen yogurt
And there’s only three ingredients!
1 frozen banana + 1/2 cup non fat plain yogurt + dash of cinnamon = YUM!!!
Directions: Blend (preferably using a high-powered electrical appliance). Pour into a dish and pop in the freezer. Stir every 5 minutes, leaving in the freezer for a total of ~30 minutes, or until mixture is at desired consistency.
As you can see, it can get quite stiff. The spoon in the pic above is standing in the mixture, and here’s another view:
I used the Magic Bullet, but if you have good results with another device (immersion blender?), I’d love to know. I find that the Magic Bullet works best when there is at least a little liquid, more than the yogurt in this recipe provides. But it was definitely doable for this recipe.
I keep bananas, halved, in the freezer just for this kind of thing. It’s a great alternative to banana bread or, (worse), letting bananas rot because you forgot to eat them.
Enjoy!
