Bananas! - Jan 14, 2010

Chocolate milkshake sans ice cream

Looking for a healthier alternative to an ice cream shake, or just plain out of ice cream? Living on a hilltop in the country I can't run to the corner store when I am short on something so I improvise. A frozen  banana and chocolate milk make a delicious chocolate shake and my daughter Storm is none the wiser that it contains no ice cream whatsoever (and I feel great aboout sneaking fruit into her diet - and my husband's - whenever I can)! If you don't have chocolate milk, white milk and chocolate powder/syrup might do it, even plain white milk and a frozen banana for a banana shake might be worth a try, frozen strawberries and white milk sounds pretty yummy too! I used to just throw over-ripe bananas in the compost, now they go straight into the freezer but I've learned the most efficient way is to peel them first and freeze them in a freezer bag.
