Simply Delicous Dessert

So lately I have been trying to eat more dairy. I am not a huge dairy lover. I am not a huge fan of the calorie and fat content in dairy as well. However, cutting out dairy completely from my diet has kind of been my pattern for the last few months. This probably hasn't been the wisest decision because I don't want my body to freak out when I eat dairy because I practically never eat it (does that make sense?). Since I am on this whole "health kick", I decided that I don't want to introduce my body to dairy again through drinking straight milk and eating tons of cheese. Somehow I feel like eating yogurt is healthier (maybe because the yogurt my mom buys is organic?). So I have been eating bits and pieces or more like spoonfuls and globs of yogurt here and there. One night we had a sad banana that had been cut into that day and hadn't been finished. The browning stages were well under way and I didn't really feel like eating the browning banana in that state. I had already eaten dinner and was wanting something sweet yet "healthy" to eat. I was also craving peanut butter at this time (when am I not craving peanut butter?!?). The combo of trying to eat yogurt, wanting to use up the browning banana, and fulfilling my dessert and p.b. craving helped me to create this little something out of nothing dessert!

P.B. and Banana Frozen Yogurt

1 browning frozen or unfrozen banana (preferably frozen)




2 Tbs. of vanilla yogurt





1 tsp. of p.b. (creamy or crunchy)

1/2 tsp. chocolate syrup or chocolate shavings

Blend top 3 ingredients together and pour into a cute little ice cream dish. Pop into freezer for one hour and viola'!!!!! If you want to add a little extra somethin' somethin' add some chocolate (in whatever form you choose) on the top! Enjoy this simple, delicious, and somewhat nutritious dessert!
