Almost-As-Good-As-Ice Cream

If you are anything like me, it is best to stay away from sweet things all together.  However, once in a while, okay more than that, I crave sweet, creamy, cold things, like ice cream which I have to stay away from because of the sugar content and the heavy cream.  So, as a way of satisfying my craving, I have come up with a substitute for myself using a frozen banana.  When frozen, a banana takes on a creamy sort of texture as it melts in your mouth.  It is filled with it's own natural sweet goodness, as well as; packed full of potassium, dietary fiber, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and manganese which can help with osteoporosis, anemia, and PMS.  You never knew there were so many benefits packed into one little banana!  :)   I add to the banana a bit of raw honey which has been known to help with allergy relief as well as having antibacterial properties.  The last simple ingredient is cinnamon which has many of it's own health benefits. This easy treat definitely packs a punch and has helped me through many creamy, sweet cravings.  I hope you enjoy it!




Almost-As-Good-As-Ice Cream

1 banana peeled, sliced, and frozen solid
Sprinkle of cinnamon
1 Tsp. Raw Honey

Remove the banana from the freezer.  Arrange the slices on a dessert plate.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey.  Eat while still frozen.


I usually freeze my bananas whole, peeling and all.  I use a sharp knife to peel off the frozen peeling and then slice it into rounds.  However, as indicated in the recipe, you can do these steps first and then freeze the rounds.  Bon Appetit!
