This Dame Cooks A Collection of Recipes from Alaska to the South Pacific and Caribbean

This is my version of a “NO GUILT” dessert.  It’s SUGAR FREE because the ripe banana is so sweet.  The yogurt provides calcium and pro-biotics for a healthy digestive system.  Bananas are rich in potassium and berries are a good source of antioxidants.

Simply slice a ripe banana and freeze it along with your favorite berries.  Blueberries or cranberries are terrific and just about anyother fruit will make this a real treat.  Start with a 1/3 cup of milk of your choice, add 2  Tbsp. of Greek-style yogurt and the fruit of choice.  Use a hand-held-blender in a tall glass or a regular blender or small food processor.  Blend until smooth.  It’s ready to eat in a flash or freeze it for 1/2 hour for more firmer texture.

Get creative and add cinnamon or a drop of vanilla if desired.  There is no end to the combinations of fruit and spices you can dream up.  Any frozen dessert that mimics ice-cream is just the ticket on a hot summer’s day. 

Here’s my webcam video from this morning’s effort.  I haven’t mastered this new technology yet (new for me anyway), so don’t bust a gut laughing and be gentle on the criticism.  I promise to keep working on these videos until they’re more professional.
