“Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Freeze”

Looking for a healthy sweet snack or dessert for your kids. However, I need to mention adults will love this recipe, too because of the low carbs. Chocolate Banana Peanut  Butter Freeze is such dessert. I ran across a recipe similar to this a while back but I don’t remember where. We know bananas are a healthy fruit used in smoothies instead of adding white sugar for sweetness. If you have bananas which are over-ripened all the better as they are super sweet. On top of that you will know what your kids are eating and they can have some kitchen fun as well.

Made in a food processor by adding the bananas, mixing until smooth then adding the rest of your ingredients. Adjust the peanut butter and chocolate flavors as necessary according to your taste. Place the bowl of Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Freeze in your freezer and a fresh, creamy, and fun dessert or snack is born. I’m telling you it’s magically delicious. When you try this recipe, I’d love to hear about your creation and kitchen fun with your kids.
