Banana Swirl

If anyone has a young child, and only gets PBS stations, or Netflix you may have watched Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. This is a spoof off of Mr. Roger's neighborhood from when I was a child. Anyway, Miss E LOVES, LOVES, Loves, loves Daniel Tiger. ( Netflix has Season 1 and we have watched all 20 episodes a half a dozen times....)

On one episode that teaches about the importance of trying new foods Daniel's Mommy Tiger makes a new desert called Banana Swirl.  I decided, since E can't eat dairy, to try it out as a sub for ice cream that is a TON cheaper then the lactose free, or coconut ice cream at the store!

All you need is a few ripe bananas that have been frozen for awhile ( I used 1 1/2), a blender, and I added a little bit of E's milk for creaminess. Throw it all in the blender and GO!


banana swirl with a sprinkling of Enjoy Life Dairy free chocolate chips

BRAIN FREEZE!!

Miss E enjoyed her's more the next day when Mommy added blueberries instead of chocolate chips! She sure loves her fruit!!

As much as I despise having to watch/listen to Daniel Tiger, he had a hit with the banana swirl!!
