Go Bananas.

I'm sure many of you have heard of the "One Ingredient Ice Cream." I can't even link that title because there are so many places to find it. But it is really a phenomena. Frozen bananas, blended up in whatever you have, be it a Magic Bullet or a GLORIOUS Vitamix...(Laura..) this treat will ALWAYS leave you wondering if ALL ice cream is made out of banana's. The texture is SO creamy and bananas melt in your mouth just as well as any other soft serve you've had.

Now, not to discredit my Magic Bullet, because I do love it- but it takes quite a bit of knocking around to get it to blend up frozen bananas so smoothly. So this morning, to spare my bullet a brutal beating, I whipped out my Horizon Chocolate Milk. I love this chocolate milk, it tastes rich yet not too sweet. I figured the cool temperature of the milk and the frozen banana's would find a happy place in the bullet and be able to blend smoothly. Not only was I right- but it tastes SO GOOD. Holy cow.

Please try this, and if you don't have the means, come here and we'll freeze some chopped up banana's together and have an exquisite summer treat..

Peanutbutter-Chocolate Chip Banana Bread.

This is what happens when people don't eat banana's. I take a perfectly healthy snack, and turn it into something that isn't. But dang, it sure tastes good.

PB& Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

1/2 C. Peanut butter

1/2 C. butter, softened

1/3 C. brown sugar

2/3 C. white sugar

1 1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 C. milk

1. cup chocolate chips

Coarse raw sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together the butter, pb, sugars and egg. Add vanilla and banana's, mix till fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients and add to the wet ingredients. Mix till well blended. Add the milk to make the batter a good, bread batter consistency. Add chips. Pour batter into pans, and top with some coarse sugar.
