The other day I was at Target, shopping for some home items to get my brand new place outfitted (more on that soon!) when I saw something that caught my eye. It was a new appliance named the "Yonanas" machine which claimed to create frozen desserts- comparable to frozen yogurt- using just bananas! Being a frozen yogurt fanatic I was interested but skeptical. It seemed a little too good to be true. so I thought i'd research into it a bit more once I got home, when I stumbled upon a interesting recipe from
theKitchn, which promised banana frozen dessert results without any fancy appliances. Not only that, but it promised to be healthy for you! Obviously I had to try it, especially since the week before I had my wisdom teeth removed and was still living off of high added sugar ice cream and frozen yogurt! So I picked up some bananas and followed the easy as pie instructions. You just have to peel and slice bananas and freeze them for a couple hours before running them through the food processor for a couple minutes.
I was amazed to see the creamy texture that the bananas turned into after only a couple minutes!
After this step you can re freeze the banana cream straight away or add other ingredients for flavour. I chose to add some Kraft food Honey Peanut butter which I just tried for the first time the other day and it is amazing! The end result was pretty good but it definitely had a very strong banana flavor. I think next time I will add more peanut butter for a little more protein. You could even eat something like this for breakfast instead of a peanut butter banana smoothie :)
oh...and for a little bonus picture
here is a snapchat I sent out right after my teeth were removed. Needless to say I think some of the effects of the laughing gas were lingering. For some reason I took a screen the image, effectively defeating the purpose of snapchat. Once the effects of the gas and freezing wore off I was definitely in less of a cheery mood!
