Peanut Butter Banana "Frozen Yogurt"



One of my favorite snacks of all time no matter if its winter or summer, is frozen yogurt. Here in Italy, the focus is more on gelato than Pinkberry or 16 handles. As the weather warms, my cravings for fro-yo gets worse. I've decided to try out making my own "frozen yogurt" from a banana, having seen multiple attempts online. The result is a creamy, frozen treat that's both healthy and satisfying!

You'll need:
1 banana
1 teaspoon of peanut butter
A dash of cinnamon










How To:

Peel and break a banana into a small bowl or cup and then mash thouroughly. Make sure to rid the banana of clumps to ensure a better texture for your frozen yogurt.



Once thoroughly mashed, mix in the peanut butter and cinnamon and freeze. Some other possible ingredient options are cocoa powder for a nice chocolate-y flavor, walnuts, chocolate chips, or carob chips! Experiment with various toppings to find your new favorite summer treat!
