“After School Snack” Smoothie

It may sound weird, but one of the things that I am most about graduating this year is the fact that I will finally be able to eat lunch at my own time.

Any guesses on my absurd lunch time this year?

9:45 AM.

Yep…if it was my choice I would not even be awake at that time! 9:45…who seriously would ever think that is somewhat close to a normal lunch time?! Anyways, I eat my lunch like an obedient little student, and then by my final class of the day it sounds like my stomach is playing it’s theme song. Yes, I could bring snacks and save some of my lunch for later, but something about being the only one in class, making all the eating and chewing noises pushes me away a little. So there is my life problem in a nut shell for you. It’s a torturous life, but someone’s got to live it (sarcasm..)

So here is a wonderful smoothie I love to make that energizes me and fills me up when I get home. If I woke up early enough, this would be awesome as a breakfast smoothie before I take off to school, but I guess you can’t win em all. One of my favorite things about this smoothie is that it is 100% fruit, and with the frozen banana, a creamy smoothie is made!

“After School Snack” Smoothie

(Serves 1)

1/2 cup sliced, frozen bananas

1/4 cup blackberries

1/3 cup blueberries

1/4 cup juice (I used cranberry-grape juice, but grape or cranberry on their own would work well, this juice is not totally necessary)

  1. In a blender, blend together all the ingredients until smooth and you don’t hear the frozen bananas making a ruckus anymore.

One Ingredient Creamy Dreamy Ice Cream

This is absolutely, incredibly, insanely awesome.

This is ice cream, but not really ice CREAM. It’s frozen banana if you wanna get all technical on me here. But this is a great alternative for someone who is lactose-intolerant or just wants to watch their waistline. I saw this on interest a while ago, but was a bit skeptical.

This treat is really easy and super healthy. All you have to do it chop up a banana, freeze it, grind it all up for a couple minutes in the food processor until it gets creamy and dreamy. Then mix in what you like, I used chocolate chips because chocolate rocks my socks. Finally, take a spoon and stuff your face!  You’re welcome :)

P.S. There is a slight banana taste. If you are really anti-banana, you can drown it out pretty well by adding chocolate chips or peanut butter or any other add-in.

One-Ingredient Ice Cream

1 banana

any other add-ins like chocolate chips, graham crackers, peanut butter, Oreos, nuts, etc.

  1. Slice banana into small chunks or disks and freeze in freezer until frozen solid.
  2. Place frozen banana pieces in food processor and process until smooth (about 2ish minutes). You may need to scrape down the sides every so often. If using peanut butter, process it in until fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in by hand any additional add-ins and enjoy!! :-)
