Since Tristan is still under a year, I try to go by the no dairy rule. Here is a great alternative to frozen yogurt or ice cream on a hot day. Tristan loved it and it is super easy to make. I take 3 bananas and cut them up and put them in a plastic container. Then freeze over night. I keep some frozen for up to a few days at a time. Then when you are ready to use them Place frozen bananas in the bowl of a food processor. (NOTE: This doesn’t work with a mixer or blender, so you have to have a food processor.) Pulse several times to break into smaller pieces, then turn on and run for about five minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The bananas will start to resemble soft serve in a few minutes. It will be chunky and gooey at first and will clump together, but after a few minutes, it will take on a pale yellow, fluffy texture. Transfer to a bowl and place in freezer for about 15 minutes, if you’d like, or serve immediately. (Makes four 1/2 cup servings) Each serving is about 100 Calories so this is also a great treat when counting your calories, plus a fun way to slip in a serving of fruit.
