Frozen Bananas Plus

So, most people have heard of slicing bananas and freezing them for a yummy treat. I agree, they rock. But there are so many more possibilities! Who wants a plain frozen banana when you can make it gourmet? My favorite combination is banana slices dipped in chocolate syrup and then frozen. You can use 1 tbsp for a banana, or more if you'd like. I don't know about you, but I love banana and chocolate! Don't use sugar free syrup though, frozen it comes out very chemical-ish. Oh wait, there's more! You can also top your banana slices with... chopped nuts! Walnuts taste the best in my opinion. Chocolate banana bread anyone? haha (storage tip: I make layers in a tupperware with tin foil) Anyway, I like these banana slices because only one or two are quite satisfying and prob about 20/30 calories each.

So Frozen Banana Ideas (all frozen obv):
- plain slices
- covered with chocolate syrup
- covered with chocolate syrup and chopped nuts
- covered with raspberry preserves
- covered with peanut butter
- covered with peanut butter and then chocolate syrup
- covered with almond butter or cashew butter

What about using a little bit of your frozen yogurt on top on the banana treat...that sounds yummy!

What a good idea! Thanks so much! I will definitely try that next with maybe the strawberry banana yogurt. I'll update this entry with my results!

I actually tried this creation last night. It was really good! I used vanilla ff yogurt which didn't taste bad, but I'm sure other flavors would be better.
