Thanks to my super awesome, fit foodie cousin Terilyn, I now have a new love. I like to call it "Banana Scream". My most favorite shake flavor in the whole wide world is Oreo Banana, and this is even better tasting, and WAY better for me!
All you do it put some banana's in the freezer, I take mine out of the peel and break them into about 4 pieces and keep them in a zip lock. Then at 9:00 pm when you are just dying for something sweet and delicious you take them out, put them in a blender/food processor (I actually use my little electric chopper thing I got as a wedding gift), add a little milk and your favorite add in. Mine in a piece of dark chocolate or an oreo. It seriously is a dream. I really like it better than ice cream...and ice cream is my all time weakness. It doesn't leave me feeling so full and heavy in the stomach after eating.
1 cup Dreyers Slow Churned ice cream = 240 Calories & 10 gms Fat (And thats the low fat/cal stuff)
1 cup Banana Scream w/1 dove dark Choc square = 170 & 3 gms Fat (1 serving fruit)
I also find that I don't over eat it like I do ice cream. I NEVER eat just one cup of ice cream, I usually dish myself a small bowl and then go back 2 or 3 times for seconds. With this treat it takes a little work to make, so I can't just go open the freezer and dish more. I'm satisfied with one serving.
It also works out great because I'm really picky with bananas. I only eat them if the skin is completely yellow. Once it starts getting a little brown on the outside, I don't like the consistency. So now instead of throwing them away, I just toss them in the freezer.
Thanks for the tip Teri! You are the best!
