Banana Soft Serve

Oooooo this was a great discovery. It's funny. I found this recipe and made it and one day later, a sugar loving friend (hi Butthead!) emailed me that I had to try this new "Banana fro yo" recipe! Haha. Great minds think alike.

This really is a genius idea and tastes just like dessert. This is how I made it the first time, but Butthead suggested adding some peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder, which of course I tried as well and was super delicious!

You can make this in either a blender or a food processor. I've done both and think the food processor is easier, but it works in a blender, nonetheless.

Banana Soft Serve
Oh She Glows

• 1 frozen banana


• 1/3 cup Almond Milk (or your choice of milk)


• 1 T chia seeds (thickens it)


• Chocolate chips, if so desired

Directions: BLEND!

Peanut Butter Cups

I really don't have a recipe for this. I saw the idea on a blog that I can't remember and figured I could just go by feel with these. I encourage you to do the same! The best part about them is that you can use whatever chocolate you'd like! I used Ghirardelli chocolate chips, but you could go with Nestle or even some great high-end stuff! You can also choose your filling. I used peanut butter and Nutella, but you can really use whatever you'd like. I really love these and have kept them in my freezer, pulling one out when I want a punch of chocolate and peanut butter!

Peanut Butter Cups

1 package of semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1-2 spoonfuls of coconut oil
Peanut butter

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave. Pour a small amount into the bottom of a mini muffin pan. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to let set.

Remove and place a dollop of peanut butter into each cup. Fill with remaining melted chocolate until the peanut butter disappears. repeat with each cup.

Place back in the freezer until set, about 30 minutes. Remove from the muffin cups and enjoy! I store these in the freezer, but you can also store them in the fridge!

Blackberry Freezer Pops

For the love, could someone please turn down the humidity level in New York?

Granted, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where summers are so beautiful and humidity-free, its outrageous! I never realized what I had until I moved to New York and got lost in a world of humid and sweat-filled subway platforms.

Let me also inform you of the lack of air conditioning in our kitchen and living room. Needless to say, some frozen treat of some sort was beyond necessary.

These babies were just perfect! And they couldn't have been easier! I got the idea from Bakerella, but the super simple recipe is below. Clear aside some room in the freezer and get some of these goin!

Blackberry Pops
Adapted from Bakerella

Wash 2 cups of blackberries (any fruit will work).  Place them in a food processor with 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

Pour into dixie cups and layer with vanilla yogurt if desired. Freeze until firm, about 12 hours.
