Frozen Banana "Ice Cream" with Chocolate Chips

1/18/2012

Have you been to Save A Lot recently? They have a banana section
hosting large bunches at 25 cents a pound. With prices such as these, I wanted
to invest some time and come up with another unique banana recipe that could use
a good amount of bananas at once. We get tired of the banana bread, and recipes
can be limited. I found this recipe through trial and error, but it is simple
and can be doubled and tripled if you like the results. It is not your typical
ice cream, but a healthier version your little ounces will enjoy.

3 frozen bananas sliced
1/4 cup dark chocolate

Slice bananas and fill your food processor. Add chocolate chips and process for one minute. Serve
immediately.

That looks SO yummy! WOW – bananas for 25 cents a pound! We haven’t had bananas in over a year – haven’t seen them for less than 59 a pound in well over a year. I did pick them up once for free – a little Mom & Pop grocery store well over an hour from here (I was attending a required course for my part time job) – they were throwing out the ones that were turning brown. I came home with a big bag and made about a dozen loafs of banana bread to freeze. I just recently used the last of it. I’m going to have to hunt down some bananas to try your recipe!

Yea, Save a Lot. Gosh, Holly, I can't believe you don't have many Mom and Pop places. I know when we go camping we find many of these in the mountains. I just got a big bag of broccoli florets 3 lbs. for $1.99 last night. I immediately blanched them and threw them in Ziploc bags propped in the freezer. Fresh veggies!!!!
